Hi i'm working on this ticket. Could you please assign me?

The nagios host definition under '''ansible/roles/nagios/server/files/nagios/hosts''' could be:

{{{

define host {
host_name magazine.fedorainfracloud.org
alias magazine
use defaulttemplate
address magazine.fedorainfracloud.org
}

}}}

nagios magazine.fedorainfracloud.org
magazine.cfg

The nrpe definition could be (adding magazine) under '''ansible/roles/nagios/server/files/nagios/services''' editing nrpe.cfg file:

{{{
define service {
host_name hosted03, bastion02, bastion01, bastion-vpn, sundries01, sundries01.stg, sundries02, wiki01, wiki01.stg, wiki02, pkgdb01, pkgdb02, pkgdb01.stg, magazine
service_description nrpe
check_command test_nrpe
max_check_attempts 2
normal_check_interval 2
use defaulttemplate
}

}}}

nrpe.cfg

The Http check could be added in website.cfg under '''ansible/roles/nagios/server/files/nagios/services

{{{
define service {
host_name magazine
service_description HTTP check
use websitetemplate
check_command check_website!magazine.fedorainfracloud.org
}

}}}

websites.cfg

Hi what do you think about it?
It's ok or needs some modification?

That looks good, but can you make it in the form of a git patch? ;)

Basically you clone the ansible repo on batcave01, then make your changes to your copy.
Then do a 'git add' for new files and 'git commit -a' and enter a commit message, then use 'git format-patch' to create a patch to attach here. ;)

This way we can see exactly whats changed and also when we apply it you will get credit, etc. :)

Please ask on irc if that doesn't make sense or you get stuck anywhere.

Add monitoring for fedoramagazine
Add-monitoring-for-fedoramagazine.patch

You're right! :)
Everything it's clear and i added the patch.

Thanks nirik! ;)

ok, applied! :)

I did have to do a bit of tweaking (which is normal with nagios as it's config is such a pain):

• I swapped host and alias, we for some reason use the short name for host and the fqdn for alias.

• I added the nagios/client role to the magazine playbook so it could be answering nrpe on its end.

• I added the nagios security group to the magazine cloud instance so nrpe would be allowed to it.

I think all is working now. Thank you very much for working on this!
