Monitoring I - WebYaST

Monitoring II - Ganglia
• Usage in– Novell PlateSpin Orchestrate
– Novell Cloud Manager
• Why Ganglia?– For given use case gathering metrics was more important than alerting
– Ganglia does metrics out of the box
• Novell contributions– Brad Nicholes from Novell has contributed a lot of pieces to the project,
mainly in the 3.1.x releases
• Modular interface
• support for modules written in Python (previously only C/C++, very similar to Apache modules)
• Rewrite of the gmetad agent (Python)

Monitoring III - Nagios
• Used within SUSE R&D Department– Monitor internal services
– Monitor the openSUSE Build Service• https://build.opensuse.org/monitor
• Nagios– Version 3.2.0
– SNMP and NRPE in mixed usage
– Configurations managed in SVN
• PNP4Nagios with RRDtool
• Firefox alert plugin
• Our additional plugins are in the openSUSE Build Service repository
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring/SLE_11.1/x86_64/
© Novell, Inc. All rights reserved.16
Best practise @ SUSE
• We join machines to groups that have certain monitoring profiles instead of maintaining individual configuration files per server
• We use nagios for checking maintenance contracts
• Hardening agents with AppArmor
