Racktables monitoring plugin

! WARNING: The plugin is not ready, yet !

This is an additional plugin for RackTables, that creates a monitoring tab right beside the object page. The plugin is based on Racktables Nagios Plugin v.0.1 from Mogilowski Sebastian sebastian@mogilowski.net ( http://www.mogilowski.net/projects/racktables ).

You can configure multiple monitoring servers (supported and tested: Nagios, Icinga) in the configuration tab - each one with different CSS and JavaScript URLs. The monitoring instance is selected via a RegEx for each object.

Example:

• URL: https://nagios.suse.de/cgi-bin/status.cgi

• RegEx: suse.de

• => For all machines containing a FQDN with "suse.de", the nagios.suse.de machine will be queried.

• URL: https://icinga.suse.cz/cgi-bin/status.cgi

• RegEx: suse.cz

• => For Machines with a FQDN "suse.cz", the icinga.suse.cz machine will be queried.

While the configuration tab allows to enter a default username and password to log in to the monitoring server, I strongly recommend to use the fallback solution and leave the fields empty.

A nice feature might also be the additional CSS and JavaScript URLs you can configure, which allows to customize the look and feel.

Installation

• copy the files in the /plugins/ folder to your RackTables plugins installation
• create additional database tables from the 'monitoring.sql' - an example command might be

mysql -u root -p racktables_database < monitoring.sql
