Ansible nagios-server role
Home > CentOS > CentOS 6.x > System administration tools > ansible > Ansible roles > Ansible nagios-server role
A nagios-server role for ansible for configuring nagios server which can monitor both public services and internal details using nrpe can be created using following steps:
Create roles/nagios-server folder
mkdir -p roles/nagios-server
Create roles/nagios-server/{files,handlers,tasks,templates} folders
mkdir -p roles/nagios-server/{files,handlers,tasks,templates}
Change working directory to roles/nagios-server folder
cd roles/nagios-server
Create files/commands.cfg file with following contents:

Finally following variables need to be defined either in the host file implementing nagios-server role, or in common-vars or in vars/main.yaml of nagios-server role itself:
nagios_contacts: - { name: nagiosadmin, alias: "Nagios administrator", email: logs@example.com } - { name: saurabh, alias: "Saurabh", email: saurabh@example.com } nagios_contactgroups: #Do not remove or rename this group. Change alias or members as necessary. - { name: admins, alias: "Logs admin list", members: [ nagiosadmin ] } - { name: engineers, alias: "Saurabh and Nagios admin", members: [ nagiosadmin, saurabh ] } nagios_client_list: - { hostname: server1.sbarjatiya.com , ip: "10.4.20.201", contactgroup: admins, service: [ "ping", "ssh", "users", "disk", "load", "processes", "zombie", "swap" ] } - { hostname: server2.sbarjatiya.com , ip: "10.4.20.171", contactgroup: saurabh, service: [ "ping", "ssh", "users", "disk", "load", "processes", "zombie", "swap" ] }
Other service options are: imap, imaps, smtp, smtps, http, https
