Monitoring (moved)

This is a page about improving or modifying OpenHatch.

We call that "Hacking OpenHatch," and there is a whole category of pages about that.

Monitoring

The basics:

• linode.openhatch.org is the main OpenHatch box, which runs the website.
• Nagios is running on linode2.openhatch.org. This is also the machine where OpenHatch runs Hudson.

Access:

• There is a nagios user on linode2. We use ssh keys for login. To get ssh access to linode2, paulproteus will need a public ssh key from you. After he's granted ssh access, you should be able to ssh nagios@linode2.openhatch.org.

Notifications:

• Nagios notifications go to monitoring@lists.openhatch.org. Anyone can subscribe to this list.

Viewing the web interface, and handling the daemon:

• On linode2, ~/nagios/secrets/ contains the mailman and Nagios web interface passwords.
• View the Nagios web interface at http://linode2.openhatch.org/nagios3/
• 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

1. Send Nagios notifications to IRC (#openhatch-auto?)?
2. Make the Nagios web interface world-viewable.
3. Version the monitoring configurations.
4. Send SMS alerts to people who want them.
5. Add historical trending (Munin)?
