[op5-users] Nagios 3.2.1 + Latest Merlin & Ninja GIT on Ubuntu or CentOs

[Peter Östlin]

Hi Mirza

A colleague send the following installation instruction for ubuntu to
the list a few month ago:

# Nagios3:
Settings:
	object_cache_file=/var/cache/nagios3/objects.cache
	
	
aptitude install nagios-nrpe-plugin nagios-snmp-plugins nsca \
nagios-plugins nagios-plugins-basic nagios-plugins-standard nagios3 \
nagios3-common nagios3-dbg nagios3-doc libdbd-mysql libdbi0 libdbi0-dev \
mysql-server php5-cli php5 php5-mysql

cd /etc/nagios3/
htpasswd -c htpasswd.users nagiosadmin


# Merlin:
mkdir /etc/nagios3/addons
cd /etc/nagios3/addons
git clone git://git.op5.org/nagios/merlin.git merlin-src

cd merlin-src
make
./install-merlin.sh --nagios-cfg=/etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg
--dest-dir=/etc/nagios3/addons/merlin

remove vrml_image from nagios config (bugreport unknown field 'vrml_image' ?)
/etc/init.d/nagios3 restart

./import.php
/etc/init.d/merlind start


# Ninja
cd /etc/nagios3/addons
git clone git://git.op5.org/nagios/ninja.git
mkdir ninja-gui
cd ninja-gui
ln -s /etc/nagios3/addons/ninja/op5build/index.php .
ln -s /etc/nagios3/addons/ninja/application .

cd /etc/nagios3/addons/ninja/op5build
edit ninja.httpd-conf and correct paths
cd /etc/apache2/conf.d
ln -s /etc/nagios3/addons/ninja/op5build/ninja.httpd-conf ninja.conf
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

edit /etc/nagios3/addons/ninja/op5build/index.php
correct following:
	$ninja_base = '/etc/nagios3/addons/ninja';

edit /etc/nagios3/addons/ninja/application/config/config.php
correct following:
	$config['nagios_base_path'] = '/etc/nagios3';
	$config['nagios_etc_path'] = '/etc/nagios3';
	$config['logos_path'] = '/nagios/images/logos/';
	$config['pnp4nagios_path'] = false;

	

# To create the ninja db and import user/password from htpasswd:
cd /etc/nagios3/addons/ninja/install_scripts
./ninja_db_init.sh /etc/nagios3/addons/ninja
./auth_import.php /etc/nagios3/addons/ninja


Then point your browser to <server-ip>/ninja


I hope this help.
