How to Install a Production Ready Naemon Monitoring Server
Naemon is the new monitoring suite that aims to be fast, stable and innovative while giving you a clear view of the state of your network and applications.This is a replacement for nagios server and very stable and uses an amazing dashboard called thruk. Setting up naemon is very easy and has live status inbuild .In this tutorial, I will show you how to install and configure naemon in a production environment along with pnp4nagios for graphs. Naemon is very stable, I will show you how to maintain the configs in a large scale environment.
In this tutorial, I will be using four Servers
- 192.168.1.170 - Naemon Server - centos 7
- 192.168.1.21 - nrpe client - centos 6
- 192.168.1.182 - nrpe client - ubuntu
- 192.168.1.75 - nscp client - windows server 2012R2
Installation of Naemon Server
I am using a CentOS 7 host with a minimal installation, SELinux disabled and firewalld enabled.
[root@naemon ~]# sestatus SELinux status: disabled [root@naemon ~]#
Installing the repo:
[root@naemon ~]# yum -y install https://labs.consol.de/repo/stable/rhel7/x86_64/labs-consol-stable.rhel7.noarch.rpm
enabling the epel repo:
yum -y install epel-release
Installing the Naemon package:
[root@naemon ~]# yum install naemon*
Naemon uses the same Nagios plugin and nrpe to monitor hosts. We will now install them:
[root@naemon ~]# yum install nagios-plugins nagios-plugins-all nagios-plugins-nrpe nrpe -y
We will add the firewall rules:
[root@naemon ~]# firewall-cmd --add-service=http --permanent
success
[root@naemon ~]# firewall-cmd --add-service=https --permanent
success
[root@naemon ~]# firewall-cmd --reload
success
[root@naemon ~]# firewall-cmd --list-all

[root@naemon ~]#
Installation of pnp4nagios.
yum install gcc-c++ rrdtool perl-Time-HiRes perl-rrdtool php-gd php php-cli wget
Downloading pnp4nagios.
[root@naemon ~]# wget https://svwh.dl.sourceforge.net/project/pnp4nagios/PNP-0.6/pnp4nagios-0.6.25.tar.gz
[root@naemon ~]# tar -zxvf pnp4nagios-0.6.25.tar.gz
[root@naemon ~]# cd pnp4nagios-0.6.25/
[root@naemon pnp4nagios-0.6.25]# ./configure --with-nagios-user=naemon --with-nagios-group=naemon
[root@naemon pnp4nagios-0.6.25]# make all
[root@naemon pnp4nagios-0.6.25]# make fullinstall
[root@naemon pnp4nagios-0.6.25]# make install-webconf
[root@naemon pnp4nagios-0.6.25]# make install-config
[root@naemon pnp4nagios-0.6.25]# make install-init
Restarting and enabling the service.
[root@naemon ~]# systemctl enable httpd && systemctl restart httpd
[root@naemon ~]# systemctl enable naemon && systemctl restart naemon
[root@naemon ~]# systemctl enable thruk && systemctl restart thruk
[root@naemon ~]# systemctl enable npcd && systemctl restart npcd
you should be able to access the URL from http://192.168.1.170/thruk
The default username is thrukadmin, password is thrukadmin.
In case you want to change the thrukadmin password, run:
[root@naemon ~]# htpasswd /etc/thruk/htpasswd thrukadmin
Installation of Monitoring Client to monitor the nodes
Installation of nrpe clients for monitoring Linux hosts
192.168.1.21 - nrpe client - centos 6
Installation of the Nagios plugin and nrpe client:
[root@centos6 ~]# yum install nagios-plugins nagios-plugins-all nagios-plugins-nrpe nrpe -y
Take a backup of the nrpe.cfg:
[root@centos6 ~]# cp /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg.bkp
Replace the content of the nrpe.conf file with the below content:
[root@centos6 ~]# cat /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
log_facility=daemon
pid_file=/var/run/nrpe/nrpe.pid
nrpe_user=nrpe
nrpe_group=nrpe
allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,192.168.1.170
dont_blame_nrpe=1
debug=0
command_timeout=60
connection_timeout=300
include_dir=/etc/nrpe.d/
[root@centos6 ~]#
Under allowed_host add the naemon server ipaddress here it is 192.168.1.170.
Now we need to restart the nrpe service:
[root@centos6 ~]# service nrpe restart [root@centos6 ~]# chkconfig nrpe on
192.168.1.182 - nrpe client - ubuntu
root@ubuntu:~# apt-get install nagios-nrpe-server nagios-plugins -y
Take a backup of the nrpe.cfg:
[root@ubuntu ~]# cp /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg.bkp
Replace the content of the nrpe.conf file with the below content:
root@ubuntu:~# cat /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg
log_facility=daemon
pid_file=/var/run/nagios/nrpe.pid
nrpe_user=nagios
nrpe_group=nagios
allowed_hosts=127.0.0.1,192.168.1.170
dont_blame_nrpe=1
debug=0
command_timeout=60
connection_timeout=300
include_dir=/etc/nagios/nrpe.d/
root@ubuntu:~#
Now we need to restart the nrpe service:
root@ubuntu:~# systemctl restart nagios-nrpe-server.service root@ubuntu:~# systemctl enable nagios-nrpe-server.service
Installation of Nscp on Windows
192.168.1.75 - nscp client - windows server 2012R2
Download nscp from this website:
https://www.nsclient.org/download/
Once downloaded, please follow the installation screenshots
Choose generic.
Choose complete:
Choose the default path:
Now, under allowed hosts, please add the naemon host. Here in our setup it is 192.168.1.170.
Make sure you give a complex password. For this example, I have used the password as "howtoforge". Next check enable nsclient and nrpe.
Once the installation is complete, please make sure the service is up and running.
We will now validate from naemon host, to make sure we are able to reach it.
Validate nrpe and nscp from Naemon Server to check the connectivity
[root@naemon ~]# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.182 NRPE v2.15 [root@naemon ~]# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H 192.168.1.21 NRPE v2.15 [root@naemon ~]#

Monitoring of Servers
We will monitor the server's performance in this tutorial.
In a production environment, we will need to monitor the CPU , memory and harddisk utilization, along with the host alive check.
Adding the following lines in nrpe conf /etc/nrpe.d/base.cfg
192.168.1.21 - nrpe client - centos 6
[root@centos6 ~]# cat /etc/nrpe.d/base.cfg command[check_disks]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$ command[check_disk]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_disk -X nfs -X cifs -X none -X tmpfs -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ command[memory]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_memory -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ command[load]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ command[check_total_procs]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ command[check_procs_c]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_procs -c $ARG1$ -C $ARG2$ command[check_procs_a]=/usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_procs -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$
Save and restart the file, then restart nrpe.
[root@centos6 ~]# /etc/init.d/nrpe restart Shutting down nrpe: [FAILED] Starting nrpe: [ OK ] [root@centos6 ~]#
Memory plugin will not be available as default plugin. We will use the below plugin.
[root@centos6 ~]# cd /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/ [root@centos6 plugins]# vim check_memory
Add the below content.

Download link check_memory plugin
You have to give execute permissions to the file:
[root@centos6 plugins]# chmod 755 check_memory
Adding the following lines in nrpe conf /etc/nagios/nrpe.d/base.cfg
192.168.1.182 - nrpe client - ubuntu
Here the file path is different:
The plugin folder is lib and not lib64.
root@ubuntu:~# cat /etc/nagios/nrpe.d/base.cfg command[check_disks]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ -p $ARG3$ command[check_disk]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_disk -X nfs -X cifs -X none -X tmpfs -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ command[memory]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_memory -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ command[load]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_load -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ command[check_total_procs]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$ command[check_procs_c]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -c $ARG1$ -C $ARG2$ command[check_procs_a]=/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_procs -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$
Add the same check_memory script in /usr/lib/nagios/plugins.
root@ubuntu:~# vim /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_memory root@ubuntu:~# chmod 755 /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_memory root@ubuntu:~# systemctl restart nagios-nrpe-server.service root@ubuntu:~#
Configuration on Naemon Server
Login as naemon user:
[root@naemon ~]# su - naemon Last login: Thu Mar 9 17:11:39 CET 2017 on pts/0 -sh-4.2$
Change the admin mail in /etc/naemon/naemon.cfg
........ ........ [email protected] [email protected] ........ ........
Now we will configure the custom commands to do the check in /etc/naemon/conf.d
Create a custom commands called custom_commands.cfg with below content.
$ vim /etc/naemon/conf.d/custom_commands.cfg
## Host Alive check ##
# command 'check_icmp Host Alive'
define command{
command_name host_alive
command_line $USER1$/check_icmp -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -n 1 -w 3000.00,80% -c 5000.00,100%
}
### Service Command ##
# command 'check_nrpe_disks'
define command{
command_name check_nrpe_disks
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -t 55 -u -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c check_disks -a $ARG1$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$
}
# command 'nrpe'
define command{
command_name nrpe
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -t 55 -u -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$
}
# NRPE With Arguements
define command{
command_name check_nrpe_a
command_line $USER1$/check_nrpe -t 55 -u -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -c $ARG1$ -a $ARG2$ $ARG3$ $ARG4$
}
#####################################
# Windows NSClient++ Checks
# command 'check_nt'
define command{
command_name nt
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 12489 -v $ARG1$ $ARG2$ -s $USER4$
}
For safety purpose save the nscp clients password in /etc/naemon/resource.cfg
........... ........... $USER4$=howtoforge ........... ............
Now we need to define the host config.
We create a file called linux.cfg.
$ vim /etc/naemon/conf.d/linux.cfg
define host {
host_name centos6.sunil.cc
alias Centos
address 192.168.1.21
use linux-server
hostgroups linux-servers
}
define host {
host_name ubuntu.sunil.cc
alias Ubuntu
address 192.168.1.182
use linux-server
hostgroups linux-servers
}
We do the same for the windows host.
$ vim /etc/naemon/conf.d/windows.cfg
define host {
host_name ad.sunil.cc
alias My Windows Server
address 192.168.1.75
use windows-server
}
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name windows-servers
alias Windows Servers
}
Now we need to define the service config.
$ vim linux_services.cfg
define service {
service_description Disks Status
hostgroup_name linux-servers
use generic-service
check_command check_nrpe_a!check_disk!15%!5%
}
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name linux-servers
service_description Load Average
check_command check_nrpe_a!load!30,25,20!45,40,35
}
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name linux-servers
service_description Memory Usage
check_command check_nrpe_a!memory!80!90
}
For Windows, we create a similar config.
$ vim window_services.cfg
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name windows-servers
service_description Disk - C:
check_command nt!USEDDISKSPACE!-l c -w 80 -c 90
}
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name windows-servers
service_description Load Average
check_command nt!CPULOAD!-l 60,90,95
}
define service{
use generic-service
hostgroup_name windows-servers
service_description Memory Usage
check_command nt!MEMUSE!-w 90 -c 95
}
Now we will change the contact email address.
$ vim contacts.cfg
define contact {
contact_name naemonadmin ; Short name of user
alias Naemon Admin ; Full name of user
use generic-contact ; Inherit default values from generic-contact template (defined above)
email [email protected] ; <<***** CHANGE THIS TO YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ******
}
We now remove the unnecessary configs which are not required.
$ mv switch.cfg switch.cfg.bkp
$ mv printer.cfg printer.cfg.bkp
To validate the configs.
$ naemon -v /etc/naemon/naemon.cfg

[root@naemon conf.d]#
Login to dashboard and you should see the services up and running.
We see that services fail for Ubuntu host.
It is seen that nrpe package compiled for ubuntu had enable arguments disabled for security vulnerabily and that is the reason it is failing
We will need to recompile the package to enable arguments, to manage the tuning from naemon.
The below link shows you how it can be recompiled. You also find the package already compiled with enable arguments in this site. I will be using this precompiled package for this tutorial.
https://www.claudiokuenzler.com/blog/626/nrpe-debian-jessie-command-ags-arguments-not-working-error

Now we are monitoring all the hosts using naemon.
Configuration of pnp4nagios
We will need to configure pnp4nagios for performance graph.
Now we will use the same authentication method as the thruk dashboard, we will first take a backup of the file and change the following lines.
[root@naemon conf.d]# cd /etc/httpd/conf.d/
[root@naemon conf.d]# cp pnp4nagios.conf pnp4nagios.conf.bkp
[root@naemon share]# cat /etc/httpd/conf.d/pnp4nagios.conf
# SAMPLE CONFIG SNIPPETS FOR APACHE WEB SERVER
Alias /pnp4nagios "/usr/local/pnp4nagios/share"
<Directory "/usr/local/pnp4nagios/share">

#
# Use the same value as defined in nagios.conf
#

Require valid-user
# Turn on URL rewriting

# Allow any files or directories that exist to be displayed directly
RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}" !-f
RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_FILENAME}" !-d
# Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL
RewriteRule "^.*$" "index.php/$0" [PT]
[root@naemon share]#
[root@naemon conf.d]# systemctl restart httpd.service
Now we will need to change the config page.
[root@naemon share]# cd /usr/local/pnp4nagios/share/ [root@naemon share]# mv install.php install.php.txt
Now we will need to change the config file for pnp4nagios.
Change nagios to naemon in the config file.
[root@naemon conf.d]# vi /usr/local/pnp4nagios/etc/config_local.php ............................ ................................ $conf['nagios_base'] = "/naemon/cgi-bin"; .................................. ............................
Enable performance data from 0 to 1.
[root@naemon conf.d]# vi /etc/naemon/naemon.cfg ..................... ..................... process_performance_data=1 ...................... ......................
Add the below lines to the bottom of the naemon.conf.
[root@naemon conf.d]# vi /etc/naemon/naemon.cfg
# # service performance data # service_perfdata_file=/usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/service-perfdata service_perfdata_file_template=DATATYPE::SERVICEPERFDATA\tTIMET::$TIMET$\tHOSTNAME::$HOSTNAME$\tSERVICEDESC::$SERVICEDESC$\tSERVICEPERFDATA::$SERVICEPERFDATA$\tSERVICECHECKCOMMAND::$SERVICECHECKCOMMAND$\tHOSTSTATE::$HOSTSTATE$\tHOSTSTATETYPE::$HOSTSTATETYPE$\tSERVICESTATE::$SERVICESTATE$\tSERVICESTATETYPE::$SERVICESTATETYPE$ service_perfdata_file_mode=a service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=15 service_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-service-perfdata-file # # # host_perfdata_file=/usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/host-perfdata host_perfdata_file_template=DATATYPE::HOSTPERFDATA\tTIMET::$TIMET$\tHOSTNAME::$HOSTNAME$\tHOSTPERFDATA::$HOSTPERFDATA$\tHOSTCHECKCOMMAND::$HOSTCHECKCOMMAND$\tHOSTSTATE::$HOSTSTATE$\tHOSTSTATETYPE::$HOSTSTATETYPE$ host_perfdata_file_mode=a host_perfdata_file_processing_interval=15 host_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-host-perfdata-file
Now we need to add the below lines in custom_commands.conf.
[root@naemon conf.d]# vim /etc/naemon/conf.d/custom_commands.cfg
define command{
command_name process-service-perfdata-file
command_line /bin/mv /usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/service-perfdata /usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/spool/service-perfdata.$TIMET$
}
define command{
command_name process-host-perfdata-file
command_line /bin/mv /usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/host-perfdata /usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/spool/host-perfdata.$TIMET$
}
Now we create a template for host performance and service performance graph.
$ cd /etc/naemon/conf.d/templates/
$ cat pnp.cfg
define host {
name host-pnp
process_perf_data 1
action_url /pnp4nagios/index.php/graph?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=_HOST_' class='tips' rel='/pnp4nagios/index.php/popup?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=_HOST_
register 0
}
define service {
name service-pnp
process_perf_data 1
action_url /pnp4nagios/index.php/graph?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=$SERVICEDESC$' class='tips' rel='/pnp4nagios/index.php/popup?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=$SERVICEDESC$
register 0
}
Now to access performance graph for services you need, we need to update the service.cfg file.
$ cat linux_services.cfg
define service {
service_description Disks Status

To check host graph, we need to include it in below file.
$ cat linux.cfg
define host {
host_name centos6.sunil.cc
alias Centos
address 192.168.1.21
use linux-server,host-pnp
hostgroups linux-servers
}
define host {
host_name ubuntu.sunil.cc
alias Ubuntu
address 192.168.1.182
use linux-server,host-pnp
hostgroups linux-servers
}
$ cat windows.cfg
define host {
host_name ad.sunil.cc
alias My Windows Server
address 192.168.1.75
use windows-server,host-pnp
}
define hostgroup {
hostgroup_name windows-servers
alias Windows Servers
}
Validate the config.
