Re: [Nagios-users] Splunk Integration Question...
From what I can tell, after trying it, the query string appended to the
splunk_url parameter referneces Nagios specific things...
e.g. https://*splunk_url*/?q=search?%20*hostname*%20*
Nagios_command_description
*
So, the implication is that somehow splunk has data about nagios checks, by
name.
For my environment, splunk uses short names. We set this up to avoid
having a mix of both short names and fqdns in the host field since most of
our splunk data is sourced from syslog which doesn't provide fqdn. Because
of this clicking the link for this in Nagios would result in splunk on the
FQDN and producing no results.
The other issue is that at this point, splunk has no data about nagios
checks, so searching the check name, also does nothing for us. So I hope
you can see why I'm confused about the purpose of this integration.

I agree, it’s not terribly clear to me what that option does, but it does
reference “Splunk IT” which is a special Splunk package that you can use
for Splunk benchmarking. That still doesn’t make it clear what it’s used
for.

I see a second parameter, “splunk_url” that lets you specify the URL for
your Splunk server.

Maybe it just somehow says to pepper the logs with your Splunk URL in
appropriate places.

Just what's in the nagios doc on CGI.cfg. The doc is lacking about what it
does, so I guess I'm a little curious what that config is about.

Sean,
Can you describe what you’re doing for Splunk integration with Nagios?
I’ve used Splunk with Nagios in a couple different ways, but I’m not aware
of any single standard for doing so.
Originally, I just had Splunk run a scheduled search, which would trigger
a script which sent a passive check result back to a Nagios service via
NSCA. That way – having Nagios process passive check results from Splunk
– was the only way I could see to do that.
Recently, I played around a bit with writing scripts that made use of
Splunk’s REST API so the checks could be run as active checks from Nagios.
(I always prefer active checks). I set this up for only one check, but
once I got it working it worked pretty well.
As a side note, I’m still a little on the fence about whether or not I
really want to have Nagios find problems through Splunk and then alert on
them or have Splunk find an alert on them directly without using Nagios at
all…
Are you referring to another way of making Splunk and Nagios talk together?

Greetings,
I was hoping I might find someone who's got the splunk integration
actively working. I'm running Nagios Core (via EPEL) and Splunk 5.0.3 on
OracleLinux 6.4.
When I edit cgi.cfg and enable splunk integration, then set the splunk
URL to https://mysplunkserver:8000/en-US/app/search/flastimeline, I
notice the nagios URLs look like: https://
mysplunkserver:8000/en-US/app/flashtimeline?q=search%20test1.udayton.edu%20nagios
plugin check. I have two questions...
· Is there a way I can make nagios use the hostname only, not the
FQDN? We use short names in splunk so we don't a mix of fqdn and short
names since we use both forwarders and syslog as input.
· What data is this query looking for, is it expected that I
should have my nagios log in splunk? The nagios plugin check in the
query doesn't seem useful to me, unless there's splunk data specifically
tied to that check, and I'm hoping someone could provide an example.
Kind regards,

Re: [Nagios-users] Odd Problem with check_yum on one server...
I apologize... I should have pasted that, but I thought the fact that I could execute the check_yum script as the nrpe user on the host with the problem would have implied that it functions as expected. Yum is located where we would expect it to be on a standard CentOS machine.
