ZNagios provides the ability for Nagios and munin to tap into the Zope2 server and retrieve status and performance data.

Project description

Overview

Nagios data

  • uptime

  • main database size

  • total reference count

  • errors in the root error log

Munin data

graphs provided by zeo_munin.py

clients

nr of zeo clients connected to zeo server

verifying

XXX help document

loadstores

nr of object loads and stores of the database

graphs provided by munin_client.py

uptime

uptime of the zope instance in days (1 hour is 0.041)

refcount

XXX help document

errors

total number of errors, conflicts and unresolved conflicts

activity

total number of object loads, stores and total number of database connections

cacheconnections

number of active and total objects for each connection

cachetotals

number of active objects of all connections (see cacheconnections above)

dbsize

size of the database in megabyte

Configure Nagios

Put a line like this in your nagios plugin configuration to make the plugin available:

command[check_zope]=/path/to/check_zope.py -H $ARG1$ -p $ARG2$ -d $ARG3$
-r $ARG4$ -a $ARG5$

Put a line like this in your nagios host configuration to use the:

service[maggie]=Zope;0;24x7;10;5;5;gocept;10;24x7;1;1;1;;check_zope!localhost!8080!50000000!10000!admin:password

Configure Nagios

To get the correct command configuration for “check_zope”, copy the zope.cfg into your plugin config directory (debian: /usr/share/nagios/pluginconfig) or the commands.cfg in /etc/nagios/.

Then you can make use of the check_zope command for services:

define service{
            use                     generic-service
            host_name               thezopehost
            service_description     Zope
            check_command           check_zope!thezopehost!8080!1000000000!500000!admin:password
}

Configure Munin

Configure Plugins

Add a configuration file to vim /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/zope to tell the plugins how to connect to zeo server/clients:

[zope_*]
user root
env.MUNIN_ZOPE_HOST_instance1 http://localhost:8401/Control_Panel/munin
env.MUNIN_ZOPE_AUTHENTICATE_instance1 admin:admin
env.MUNIN_ZOPE_HOST_instance2 http://localhost:8402/Control_Panel/munin
env.MUNIN_ZOPE_AUTHENTICATE_instance2 admin:admin

[zeo_*]
user root
env.MUNIN_ZEO_HOST_ZEO1 localhost
env.MUNIN_ZEO_PORT_ZEO1 8502
