• 1. In /etc/ncg-metric-config.d create the file wenmr-probes.conf with json formatted directives
• 2. In /usr/libexec/grid-monitoring/probes/wenmr/wnjob/etc/wn.d/wenmr/ edit the services.cfg and commands.cfg files
• 3. Implement the probe in the file /usr/libexec/grid-monitoring/probes/wenmr/wnjob/probes/wenmr/probe_name (see e.g. gromacs probe)

How to add quickly new WeNMR probes

• 1. In /etc/ncg-metric-config.d create the file wenmr-probes.conf with json formatted directives
• 2. In /usr/libexec/grid-monitoring/probes/wenmr/wnjob/etc/wn.d/wenmr/ edit the services.cfg and commands.cfg files
• 3. Implement the probe in the file /usr/libexec/grid-monitoring/probes/wenmr/wnjob/probes/wenmr/
• 4. Ensuring the following:

cat /etc/ncg/ncg-localdb.d/wenmr-custom.conf
MODIFY_METRIC_PARAMETER!org.sam.CREAMCE-JobState!--add-wntar-nag!/usr/libexec/grid-monitoring/probes/wenmr/wnjob/
MODIFY_METRIC_PARAMETER!org.sam.CE-JobState!--add-wntar-nag!/usr/libexec/grid-monitoring/probes/wenmr/wnjob/

• 5. Adding the new metrics to Poem through its application http://grid-monitor03.pd.infn.it:50180/poem/admin
• 6. Reconfigure with

Also the sites BCBR, ZA-UCT-ICTS, ZA-UJ, uncertified or not present in GOCDB, are monitored.

Detailed documentation and instructions about Nagios could be found here

Information about latest update 09

Management instructions

For its probes, Nagios uses Badoer's certificate, that must be renewed before it expires (it lasts one week):

• [badoer@grid-monitor03]# myproxy-init --voms enmr.eu:/enmr.eu/ops -k NagiosRetrieve-grid-monitor03.pd.infn.it-enmr.eu -s prod-ui-02.pd.infn.it -l nagios -x -Z "/C=IT/O=INFN/OU=Host/L=Padova/CN=grid-monitor03.pd.infn.it"

After a yaim reconfig, do the following instructions:

• Keep only WMS of CERM, removing the other WMSes from
  • /opt/glite/etc/enmr.eu/glite_wms.conf
  • /opt/glite/etc/enmr.eu/glite_wmsui.conf

• Add WeNMR BDII for SRM probes in sites not belonging to EGI-GOCDB
  • add the following line to /etc/ncg/ncg-localdb.d/uncert.conf
    • MODIFY_METRIC_PARAMETER!org.sam.SRM-All!--ldap-uri!ldap://bdii-wenmr.pd.infn.it:2170
  • or equally:
    • cp /etc/ncg/ncg-localdb.d/uncert.conf.GOOD /etc/ncg/ncg-localdb.d/uncert.conf

• Configure ncg to find sites not belonging to EGI-GOCDB on their site-BDII
  • add the following lines to /etc/ncg/ncg.conf.d/uncert.conf for each site outside EGI-GOCDB
    • #
    • ADD_HOSTS=1
    • LDAP_ADDRESS=
  • or equally:
    • cp /etc/ncg/ncg.conf.d/uncert.conf-OK-OutOfGOCDB_sites /etc/ncg/ncg.conf.d/uncert.conf

To add a site:

• if the site is certified in EGI-GOCDB:
  • edit yaim configuration file adding the NGI of the site (if not already present) in variable NCG_GOCDB_ROC_NAME.
  • reconfigure with yaim
• if the site is present in EGI-GOCDB but not certified:
  • edit yaim configuration file adding the site name on variable UNCERTIFIED_SITES (it should be present in TopBDII bdii-wenmr.pd.infn.it)
  • reconfigure with yaim
• if the site is not present in EGI-GOCDB
  • edit yaim configuration file adding the site name on variable UNCERTIFIED_SITES (it should be present in TopBDII bdii-wenmr.pd.infn.it)
  • reconfigure with yaim
  • edit grid-monitor03:/etc/ncg/ncg.conf.d/uncert.conf changing:
    • <NCG::SiteInfo SITE_NAME>
    • #
    • LDAP_ADDRESS=SITE_BDII
    • # ADD_HOSTS=0
    • ADD_HOSTS=1

To authorize a user whose DN isn't automatically retrieved from VOMS to /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users:

• copy user's DN in a file /etc/voms2htpasswd-static.d/*.conf

Information about old update 07

This Nagios monitors hosts published by Top BDII bdii-enmr.cerm.unifi.it

Detailed documentation and instructions about Nagios could be found here

Management instructions

Nothing to do about published information, a cron keeps them up-to-date.

After a reconfiguration

• ''service nagios restart''

Installation and configuration instructions

Initially this documentation was followed:

• https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/EGEE/GridMonitoringNcgYaim
• http://igrelease.forge.cnaf.infn.it/doku.php?id=doc:guides:install-3_2

After a series of problems, due to database name errors (only one database named 'mrs' must be used, while in previous links the names of databases are defined by user as yaim variables - see ticket https://gus.fzk.de/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=65594) the following documentation was used to correctly complete the first installation:

• https://tomtools.cern.ch/confluence/display/SAM/Clean+egee-NAGIOS+installation
• https://tomtools.cern.ch/confluence/display/SAMDOC/Update-05
• https://tomtools.cern.ch/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3245295

"All on one box" configuration (Nagios + NRPE + ig_UI) was installed.

Here's the steps executed on grid-monitor03.pd.infn.it.

Installation

• host certificates (''hostkey.pem'' and ''hostcert.pem'') installed in ''/etc/grid-security/''

• copied repo files in ''/etc/yum.repos.d/'' as described in documentation
  • ''lcg-CA.repo''
  • ''glite-BDII.repo''
  • rpmforge (''rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm'')
  • sa1-release (''sa1-release-3-1.el5.noarch.rpm'')
  • ''ig.repo''
  • ''dag.repo'' (different versions for ig and for glite)
• disabled (renamed with different extension) ''dag.repo'', ''sl.repo'' and ''sl-security.repo'' because it's used the option

• ''yum install httpd''
• ''yum install lcg-CA''
• ''yum groupinstall ig_UI_noafs''
• ''yum install egee-NAGIOS''

Configuration

Nagios specific variables was defined in /opt/nfs_install/3_2/nodes/grid-monitor03.pd.infn.it In particular:

• NAGIOS_ROLE=vo
  • it creates some databases (ATP, MDDB, MS)... don't know if really necessary...
  • it searches voms for the specified VO
• NCG_VO=enmr.eu
• BDII_HOST=bdii-enmr.cerm.unifi.it
  • set the Top BDII where to find sites to be monitored
• NCG_LDAP_FILTER="GlueSiteUniqueID=*"
  • this is a "false" filter (* implies every site), but this variable must have a value in order to let yaim (config_ncg) to create by its own the correct file ''/etc/ncg/ncg.conf'', in such a way that ncg considers only the Top BDII; if this variable is not set, ncg searches for all sites belonging to other parameters, for example ROC=Italy

A lot of bugs had to be resolved before having a good configuration.

    • error starting ncg; the log in /var/log/ncg.log:
      • ERROR: Could not get results from SAM: 500 Server closed connection without sending any data back
      • ERROR: Could not get list of critical metrics from SAM: 500 Server closed connection without sending any data back

After correcting the bugs, finally the yaim configuration command:

• /opt/glite/yaim/bin/ig_yaim -c -d 6 -s /usr/local/nfs/3_2/ig-site-info.def.current -n ig_UI_noafs -n glite-NAGIOS 2>&1 | tee /root/yaim38.log

Post configuration

• changed https port to make site visible outside pd.infn.it
  • edited ''/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf'' changing from 443 to 50080

• set variable NAGIOS_HTTPD_ENABLE_CONFIG=false in yaim configuration file, in order to avoid https configuration to be reset after every reconfiguration
