== Monitoring == |
|||
=== The basics=== |
|||
* <code>linode.openhatch.org</code> is the main OpenHatch box, which runs the website. |
|||
* <code>linode2.openhatch.org</code> is the secondary server for OpenHatch. It hosts the Hudson continuous integration server, as well as Nagios! |
|||
* The Nagios configuration is owned by a user called ''nagios'' on ''linode2.openhatch.org''. |
|||
=== Access === |
|||
* We use ssh keys for login. |
|||
* If you want SSH access to that account, file a bug requesting it, and attach an SSH key. You should hear back within 2 days; if you don't hear back by then, try to find paulproteus or jesstess on IRC. |
|||
* Then you can do: |
|||
ssh nagios@linode2.openhatch.org |
|||
* You'll know it's working if you are logged in. If you see a "Password:" prompt, then it is not working. |
|||
=== Notifications === |
|||
* Nagios notifications go to [http://lists.openhatch.org/mailman/listinfo/monitoring monitoring@lists.openhatch.org]. Anyone can subscribe to this list or read its archives. |
|||
=== Making changes === |
|||
In brief, here's what you need to know: |
|||
* Edit files in ~nagios/ |
|||
* Once you know what changes you want to make, create a local branch with those changes: |
|||
git checkout -b my_changes |
|||
* As you make changes, make meaningful commits. Also, tell "git commit" to use your identity: |
|||
git commit --author="Some Body <some.body@example.com>" |
|||
* After you have made the changes, ask someone to review them and merge the changes to ''master''. |
|||
* '''Rationale''': If you stick to the above process, it is fairly easy to roll back to the "master" branch of the Nagios configuration. |
|||
* '''History''': We came up with this process during [https://openhatch.org/bugs/issue332 issue332]. |
|||
=== Viewing the web interface, and handling the daemon === |
|||
* On <code>linode2</code>, <code>~nagios/secrets/</code> contains the mailman and Nagios web interface passwords. |
|||
* View the Nagios web interface at <code>http://linode2.openhatch.org/nagios3/</code> |
|||
* To restart the Nagios daemon, run |
|||
sudo /etc/init.d/nagios3 restart |
|||
===In case of emergency=== |
|||
* See [[Emergency operations for the openhatch server]]. People with ssh keys set up for the Linode Shell (Lish) can reboot the box and have other limited emergency capabilities. |
|||
== TODOs == |
|||
# Send Nagios notifications to IRC (<code>#openhatch-auto</code>?)? |
|||
# Make the Nagios web interface world-viewable. |
|||
# Version the monitoring configurations. |
|||
# Send SMS alerts to people who want them. |
|||
# Add historical trending (Munin)? |

This is a page about improving or modifying OpenHatch.
We call that "Hacking OpenHatch," and there is a whole category of pages about that.
We are updating our documentation system. This page is now included in our project package, and is automatically generated by sphinx at openhatch.readthedocs.org [Monitoring
