Modification. Nconf. NConf is an open source tool for configuring the Nagios network monitoring system (and its fork Icinga). It is mainly targeted at sysadmins who are looking for a more convenient way of managing their Nagios configuration files through the use of a graphical user interface, as opposed to maintaining the configuration files with a text editor. NConf allows central management of a distributed monitoring environment. It also offers various enterprise-like features such as LDAP authentication, a database API and configuration deployment over secure protocols (SCP, HTTPs).

An import mechanism for importing existing configuration files is also available. NConf is written mainly in PHP and Perl. History[edit] Development on NConf began in 2006.

Download and unpack Download the NConf archive. Upload it onto a webserver of your choice. Make sure your server covers all of the NConf system requirements. If you have console access, upload the uncompressed archive to your server and uncompress it there.

Another option is to uncompress the archive on your local PC, then upload all the files with an FTP account to your webserver. 2. Make sure the following directories are writable to your webserver user. You can change permissions on the console or via FTP client (CHMOD) 3. Create a new MySQL database for NConf, create a user to access the database, grant the apropriate privileges. InnoDB Make sure InnoDB for MySQL is set up properly prior to creating the database! Depending on your setup, you can create the database with phpMyAdmin, on the commandline, or with whatever tool is at your disposal (for detailed instructions on how to set up MySQL by commandline, please refer to the manual installation section). 4. 5.

NConf, une interface Web pour Nagios. Utilisateurs de Nagios, votre rêve va bientôt se réaliser ! Une équipe Suisse travaille sur le saint Graal de la supervision système et réseau. En effet leur projet NConf vient répondre à un besoin récurrent des utilisateurs de Nagios: l'impossibilité d'administrer son serveur via une interface Web. Nous allons dans ce billet tester la version 1.2.6 de NConf sur un serveur Nagios 3.1. Je pars sur l'hypothèse ou le serveur Nagios a été installé en suivant mes deux premiers tutos (1 et 2). On commence par récupérer la dernière version disponible de NConf (la 1.2.6). wget On décompresse l'archive: tar zxvf nconf-1.2.6-0.tgz Puis on copie le répertoire nconf à la racine de son serveur Web et on change les droits: sudo mv nconf /usr/local sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/local/nconf Notes: les sous-répertoires suivants doivent avoir les droits en écriture pour l'utilisateur www-data: .

Puis relancer Apache: #!
