Editing Monitoring openvz resources using nagios and snmp

== snmpd configuration ==
Debian Etch example:
<pre>
apt-get install snmpd
</pre>

edit '''/etc/default/snmpd''' : remove ''-u snmp'' and replace ''127.0.0.1'' with your ip (ie : 207.46.250.119), Full'''/etc/default/snmpd''' example:
<pre>
export MIBDIRS=/usr/share/snmp/mibs
SNMPDRUN=yes
SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null  -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid 207.46.250.119'
TRAPDRUN=no
TRAPDOPTS='-Lsd -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid'
</pre>

For Debian 4.x:
<pre>
export MIBDIRS=/usr/share/snmp/mibs
SNMPDRUN=yes
SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null  -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid'
TRAPDRUN=no
TRAPDOPTS='-Lsd -p /var/run/snmptrapd.pid'
</pre>

Create user(my_username) and add new mib. Password need a min. of 8 charactes. Username only characters:
<pre>
/etc/init.d/snmpd stop
echo rouser my_username priv >> /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
echo "extend  .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.51  beancounters  /bin/cat /proc/user_beancounters" >> /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
echo "extend  .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.52  vzquota  /bin/cat /proc/vz/vzquota" >> /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
echo  createUser my_username MD5 my_password DES >> /var/lib/snmp/snmpd.conf
/etc/init.d/snmpd start 
</pre>

(Note that the createUser command goes into a separate file. On Centos5 this file is located in /var/net-snmp/snmpd.conf. Make sure you stop snmpd before putting the createUser command there!).

Testing snmp:
<pre>
snmpwalk   -v 3  -u my_username -l authPriv   -a MD5 -A my_password -x DES -X my_password  $(hostname -i)
</pre>

Warning: the minimum pass phrase length is 8 characters.

== nagios configuration ==
=== example nagios configuration ===
add to configuration:
<pre>
define command {
command_name check_snmp_openvz_on_port
# command_line /usr/local/bin/check_snmp_openvz.sh  $HOSTADDRESS$ PORT    USER    PASSWORD
command_line /usr/local/bin/check_snmp_openvz.sh  $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$  $ARG2$  $ARG3$
}
</pre>

<pre>
define host {
        host_name   openvz-server
        alias       Serwer Openvz
        address     207.46.250.119
        use         generic-host
        contact_groups  admins
        }
</pre>

<pre>
define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       openvz-server
        service_description             Virtual Machines Limits
        check_command                   check_snmp_openvz_on_port!161!my_username!my_password
        max_check_attempts              1
        }

The script calls <code>/usr/sbin/vzlist</code> by sudo. When doing this it normally needs a password, which check_nrpe will not know. Because of this it is necessary that you append a line like the following to <code>/etc/sudors</code> (user name an path should be adapted to the right ones on your system):
 nagios   ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_vzquota

Also don't forget to consider this on your <code>nrpe.cfg</code>, so that you call the script with sudo:
