Support check_mk/nagios monitoring

Hi,

we are planning to monitor petasan with nagios/check_mk. Do you have any plans to include this in a future release?

We could provide the necessary config files and debian packages needed to add easy support. 🙂

How are additional packages/files handled during an upgrade? Will additional packages get deleted or will they be preserved?

 

thanks and cheers,

Currently the upgrade process re-formats the root partition, installs all packages, os, kernel. We do keep a config partition in  /opt/petasan/config/ which is preserved. We store config, data and other files there, you can for example keep you nagios config in /opt/petasan/config/etc/nagios and symlink to the /etc. You would still need to reinstall the packages but the config and data can be preserved.

In addition starting with 2.3.2 we plan to do online patch updates but currently only for any fixes and not for complete upgrades, but this may be supported in the future.

If we do get requests to support nagios, then we most probably will..

We are also interested in a way to monitor using Nagios.
