Hi, you have probably noticed that the new LTS release is out 
So I decided to update the intallation process. You’ll probably notice that it didn’t change so much regarding to the 8.04 (in fact a few packages have their name changed, rsyslog natively integrated into the system, and so on)
Before starting the installation process, let define some rules we will follow: I recommend that before you start any installation you define a template for the naming scheme of your monitored machines. I decided to uses this one (but it’s up to you to create your own): 3 first letters for customer-name of the machine-environment. In my case it’s ACT-CENTREON-TEST (ACT for ACTIVLAN, Centreon for my computer and test for the target environment) for the central monitoring machine.
Here is a spreadsheet for the different login and passwords that will be used for the installation process (some of them are used in further post):
| Account role | Login | Password |
| MySQL root access | root | mysqlcentaccess03 |
| Nagios | nagios | nagaccess03 |
| User account | activlan | remoteaccess03 |
| Mysql account | centreon | mysqlcentreon03 |
| Web Nagios | nagiosadmin | nagwebaccess03 |
| Web Centreon | admin | actwebaccess03 |
Let start the installation process
Insert you CD, boot from it and proceed for a minimal install. For the partition scheme let the system choose one for you (I recommend using LVM because in case of “out of disk space” it will be easier to extend disk).
When asked, disable the automatic update.
DO NOT INSTALL ANY ROLE EXCEPT SSH AND MAIL.
For the mail configuration, choose local mail.
System update
Once it’s installed, proceed to a system update
sudo aptitude update sudo aptitude full-upgrade -y
Switch to fixed IP address
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
Please verify that you are working with fixed IP address. If not, please change your settings. You should see something like this at the end of the file (the value should be different for you):
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1
REBOOT
Compilation component install
sudo aptitude install build-essential -y sudo aptitude install linux-headers-$(uname -r) -y
The headers should be already present.
If you are using a virtual machine, it’s time to install the appropriate tools (it’s up to you).
MySQL
sudo aptitude install mysql-server libmysqlclient-dev -y
Use mysqlcentaccess03 for root MySQL password
System
sudo aptitude install sysutils policykit ntp -y
Web and php5
sudo aptitude install apache2 apache2-mpm-prefork libapache2-mod-php5 -y sudo aptitude install php5 php5-mysql -y sudo aptitude install php-pear php5-ldap php5-snmp php5-gd -y
RRDTool
sudo aptitude install rrdtool librrds-perl -y
Perl
sudo aptitude install libconfig-inifiles-perl libcrypt-des-perl libdigest-hmac-perl libdigest-sha1-perl libgd-gd2-perl -y
SNMP
sudo aptitude install snmp snmpd libnet-snmp-perl libsnmp-perl -y
GD-Libraries
sudo aptitude install libgd2-xpm libgd2-xpm-dev libpng12-dev -y
Other needed library
sudo aptitude install libldap2-dev libssl-dev libsnmp-dev -y
Now we are ready to install Nagios and Centreon.
User install
PS: use “nagaccess03” as password for nagios account.
sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash nagios sudo passwd nagios sudo groupadd nagcmd sudo usermod -G nagios,nagcmd nagios sudo usermod -a -G nagios,nagcmd www-data
Nagios Core
cd /usr/local/src sudo wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nagios/nagios-3.2.1.tar.gz sudo tar xvzf nagios-3.2.1.tar.gz cd nagios-3.2.1 sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios --with-command-group=nagcmd --enable-nanosleep --enable-event-broker sudo make all sudo make install sudo make install-init sudo make install-commandmode sudo make install-config sudo update-rc.d -f nagios defaults cd ..
Nagios plugins 1.4.14
sudo wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nagiosplug/nagios-plugins-1.4.14.tar.gz sudo tar xvfz nagios-plugins-1.4.14.tar.gz cd nagios-plugins-1.4.14 sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios sudo make sudo make install cd /usr/local/src
Ndoutils 1.4b9
sudo wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/nagios/ndoutils-1.4b9.tar.gz sudo tar xvfz ndoutils-1.4b9.tar.gz cd ndoutils-1.4b9 sudo ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios/ --enable-mysql --disable-pgsql --with-ndo2db-user=nagios --with-ndo2db-group=nagios sudo make sudo cp ./config/ndo2db.cfg-sample /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg sudo cp ./config/ndomod.cfg-sample /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndomod.cfg
It apears that with large monitoring system, ndoutils use a lot of IO and slows down drasticly the system. It’s better to installe the patched version.
cd /usr/local/src sudo wget -r -k -np http://svn.centreon.com/trunk/Patch-NDOutils/ cd svn.centreon.com/trunk/Patch-NDOutils sudo bash ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios/ --enable-mysql --disable-pgsql --with-ndo2db-user=nagios --with-ndo2db-group=nagios sudo make sudo cp src/ndomod-3x.o /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o sudo cp src/ndo2db-3x /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db sudo chmod 775 /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o sudo chown nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndo2db sudo chown nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o
Nagios web interface
I also recommend installing Nagios web interface as it could help you comparing your centreon checks and nagios exported configuration.
Use “nagwebaccess03” as password
cd /usr/local/src/nagios-3.2.1 sudo make install-webconf sudo htpasswd -c /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin
SNMP settings
Please edit /etc/default/snmpd
sudo nano /etc/default/snmpd
and change these sections:
#SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid 127.0.0.1' SNMPDOPTS='-Lsd -Lf /dev/null -u snmp -I -smux -p /var/run/snmpd.pid 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.148'
Replace 192.168.0.148 by your IP address.
#TRAPDRUN=no TRAPDRUN=yes
Edit snmpd configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
and change this section:
# sec.name source community #com2sec paranoid default public com2sec readonly default public com2sec readonly 127.0.0.1 public com2sec readonly 192.168.0.0/24 public #com2sec readwrite default private
NDO database configuration

#reconnect_warning_interval=15 reconnect_warning_interval=900
#config_output_options=2 config_output_options=3
Edit ndo2db configuration file:
sudo nano /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg
find and replace these sections:
#socket_type=unix socket_type=tcp
db_name=ndo
# Keep timed events for 24 hours max_timedevents_age=1440
# Keep system commands for 1 week max_systemcommands_age=1440

broker_module=/usr/local/nagios/bin/ndomod.o config_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/ndomod.cfg
Edit sudoers grant file:
sudo nano /etc/sudoers
and add nagios user account after root account:
nagios ALL=(ALL) ALL
Create ndo2db file:
sudo nano /etc/init.d/ndo2db
Paste the following script (be carefull if you choose to use diferent credentials than nagios:nagios, you’ll have to modifiy the corresponding lines below(find NdoUser and NdoGroup)):

Reload your web server
sudo service apache2 reload
We will finalise the installation process in the next post.
Connect to your web interface: by default, it’s http://YOUR_SERVER_IP_ADDRESS/centreon
Proceed as follow:
For picture 6 use mysqlcentaccess03 as Mysql Root password and mysqlcentdb03 for the mysql database password
For picture 8 use admin and actwebaccess03 for Centreon Web Access.
PS: Some versions should differ from your screenshots as it was taken from the previous post (Ubuntu 8.04 LTS)
Optimise your setup:
After saving prepare yourself for your first export
note: I don’t know why the service ‘Disk-/’ on Centreon-Server wont work with 127.0.0.1
If you want to correct this, edit the host and change the ip address 127.0.0.1 with localhost. If you plan to check your central server from a pooler, set back the real IP adress.
You should see no errors at all. This time export for real the settings:
Reboot your monitoring system. After loging back you should see Centreon monitoring itself (you’ll have to wait approximatively 5 minutes to see all graphs generated).
