Description
Each tier 2 site is monitored by various services from outside. The
Prague T2 is monitored by SAM tests, GSTAT monitoring, RTM from RAL, regional
nagios monitoring and experiment specific tools. Besides that we monitor our
own site for hardware and software failures and middleware status.
All these tools produce an output that must be regularly checked by
site administrators. We will present our solution built on nagios that allows our
administrators to check just one service (nagios) that encapsulates the
results from all monitoring tools (outside and inside) and presents them in a
single web page. The solution is based on simple plugin for every service. Nagios
uses these plugins to check the results of monitoring tools. We use plugins developed
at SRCE, RAL and Prague.
We will also present automatic configuration scripts that allow us to
generate nagios configuration from local database of servers and services.
