MonitoringSUSE Linux Enterprise


Monitoring Overview

• Low level– smartmontools - Monitor for S.M.A.R.T. Disks and Devices– sensors - Hardware health monitoring for Linux– iptraf - TCP/IP Network Monitor– pcp - Performance Co-Pilot

(system-level performance monitoring)– sysstat - Sar and Iostat Commands for Linux– perfmon– blktrace, ltrace, strace– systemtap - Instrumentation System– AIDE – advanced intrusion detection environment

• High Level– argus – network auditing tool– nagios


Monitoring I - WebYaST

Key Benefits

Just like YaST, WebYaST is also open source software, withmaintenance and support delivered by Novell as part of the SUSE Appliance Program. Software vendors and third-party developers are encouraged to develop modules—specifically aimed at facilitating configuration of their application.

Key Features

• Initial configuration wizard• Time, Time zone, NTP• Status, soft-shutdown, reboot• Monitoring (configurable)• Update• Network• License/EULA and Registration• Users• Service start/stop/status• Log visualization


Monitoring II - Ganglia

• Usage in– Novell PlateSpin Orchestrate

– Novell Cloud Manager

• Why Ganglia?– For given use case gathering metrics was more important than alerting

– Ganglia does metrics out of the box

• Novell contributions– Brad Nicholes from Novell has contributed a lot of pieces to the project,

mainly in the 3.1.x releases

• Modular interface

• support for modules written in Python (previously only C/C++, very similar to Apache modules)

• Rewrite of the gmetad agent (Python)


Monitoring III - Nagios

• Used within SUSE R&D Department– Monitor internal services

– Monitor the openSUSE Build Service• https://build.opensuse.org/monitor

• Nagios– Version 3.2.0

– SNMP and NRPE in mixed usage

– Configurations managed in SVN

• PNP4Nagios with RRDtool

• Firefox alert plugin

• Our additional plugins are in the openSUSE Build Service repository

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/server:/monitoring/SLE_11.1/x86_64/

https://build.opensuse.org/monitor


Monitoring III – Nagios II


Best practise @ SUSE

• We join machines to groups that have certain monitoring profiles instead of maintaining individual configuration files per server

• We use nagios for checking maintenance contracts

• Hardening agents with AppArmor
