Monitoring your Map 4 server¶

Installing the plugins¶

Access, through SSH, the poller which will be monitoring your Map 4 server. Install all the required plugins through the following commands :

For Centreon 2.8.X

# yum install centreon-pack-operatingsystems-linux-snmp
# yum install centreon-pack-applications-monitoring-centreon-map4-jmx
# yum install centreon-pack-applications-webservers-tomcat-jmx

# yum install centreon-plugin-Operatingsystems-Linux-Snmp
# yum install centreon-plugin-Applications-Monitoring-Centreon-Map4-Jmx
# yum install centreon-plugin-Applications-Webservers-Tomcat-Jmx

## OPTIONAL - Only if you have a local MySQL DB for your Map server

# yum install centreon-pack-applications-databases-mysql
# yum install centreon-plugin-Applications-Databases-Mysql

For Centreon 2.7.X

# yum install ces-plugins-Operatingsystems-Linux-Snmp
# yum install ces-plugins-Applications-Monitoring-Centreon-Map4-Jmx.noarch
# yum install ces-plugins-Applications-Webservers-Tomcat-Jmx.noarch

# yum install ces-pack-Operatingsystems-Linux-Snmp
# yum install ces-pack-Applications-Monitoring-Centreon-Map4-Jmx.noarch
# yum install ces-pack-Applications-Webservers-Tomcat-Jmx.noarch

## OPTIONAL - Only if you have a local MySQL DB for you Map server

# yum install ces-plugins-Applications-Databases-Mysql
# yum install ces-pack-Applications-Databases-Mysql

Configure Jolokia¶

In order to monitor your tomcat, you need to deploy the jolokia application on it.

Download the jolokia war agent and put it on your Map 4 server. The agent can be found here

You can do all that with the following command:

For tomcat 6

# wget  http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/jolokia/jolokia-war/1.3.5/jolokia-war-1.3.5.war -O /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps/jolokia.war

For tomcat 7

# wget  http://search.maven.org/remotecontent?filepath=org/jolokia/jolokia-war/1.3.5/jolokia-war-1.3.5.war -O /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/jolokia.war

Configure your database¶

Access your MySQL server where the Map database is stored (the Map database is called ‘centreon_studio’ by default).

Execute the following commands:

# mysql centreon_studio
# GRANT SELECT ON centreon_studio.* TO 'centreon_map'@'<POLLER_IP>';

• Replace ‘centreon_studio’ by the DB name of your Map 4 server
• Replace <POLLER_IP> by the IP address of the poller which will be monitoring your DB
• Replace ‘PASSWORD’ by any password you want (obviously...)

Configure your services¶

Access your Centreon Web interface. Go to Configuration -> Host -> Add

Fill the basic information about your host and add the following Host Templates:

• OS-Linux-SNMP-custom
• App-Monitoring-Centreon-Map4-JMX-custom
• App-Webserver-Tomcat-JMX-custom

Also add the following only if you have a local MySQL DB on you Map server:

• App-DB-MySQL-custom

1. These are the 3 main templates you need to monitor your Map 4 server

2. The MySQL template is useful only if you have a MySQL server on your Map 4 server (for Centreon Map database)

3. Enter the Jolokia URL, which is composed as follow :

   For HTTP configuration

   http://<MAP4_IP>:8080/jolokia

   For HTTPS configuration

   https://<MAP4_IP>:8443/jolokia

   Note

   Replace <MAP4_IP> by the IP address of your Map 4 server

4. If you have a MySQK server on your Map 4 server, enter the user / password you used in Configure your database.

You can now export your configuration and your Map 4 server will be monitored.
