Centreon configuration¶
Template configuration in Centreon are on necessary when using the tarball installation. To fully exploit Centreon-Connector-AS400, it is recommanded to perform a series of actions.
Create a generic check command¶
Go to the « Configuration → Commande » menu and create a ” check_as400_generic ” command.
Insert the command:
| $USER1$/check_merethis_as400_generic –connector “$_HOSTDAEMONHOST$:$_HOSTDAEMONPORT$” –host “$HOSTADDRESS$” –user “$_HOSTAS400USER$” –password “$_HOSTAS400PASSWORD$” –check “$_SERVICECHECK$” –args “$_SERVICEARGS$” |
This command has a series of macros used at different level of host templates , hosts, service templates, services.
Macro prefixed with HOST are retrieved from the host definition (or host template). Macros prefixed with SERVICE are retrieved from the service definition. (or service template) .
| Macro name | Macro value | Resource where the macro must be defined (recommanded) |
| DAEMONHOST | IP or hostname of the server running the daemon AS/400 | Lowest level AS/400 host template |
| DAEMONPORT | Daemon port | Lowest level AS/400 host template |
| AS400USER | AS/400 user name | AS/400 Host |
| AS400PASSWORD | AS/400 password | AS/400 Host |
| CHECK | Check command | Service or AS/400 model service of the highest level |
| ARGS | Check command arguments | Service or AS/400 model service of the highest level |
Create a generic host template¶
Go to the menu « Configuration → Hosts → Templates » and create an host template « as400 ». This model will be the lowest level host template for all AS/400 hosts. Other higher level host template can be created . Configure all the fields as shown in Centreon documentation.
Define the following macros :
| Macro name | Macro value |
| DAEMONHOST | Exemple : 10.30.10.30 |
| DAEMONPORT | Exemple : 8091 |
Create an as400 host¶
Go to the ” Configuration → Hosts ” menu and create an host based on the host template “as400” generic (or a higher-level host template based on the template “as400” generic) .
Define the following macros:
| Macro name | Macro value |
| AS400USER | Exemple : USER123 |
| AS400PASSWORD | Exemple : PASSWORD123 |
Create a service template or service¶
Go « Configuration → Services » or « Template », and create a service or service template
Define the following maccro
| Macro name | Macro value |
| CHECK | Exemple : cpuUsage |
| ARGS | Exemple : 80!90 |
