A probe data source, or simply a monitoring source, defines a core monitoring system where RealOpInsight retrieves probe status to compute application status.
Supported Sources
The following sources are currently supported:
- Kubernetes >= 1.9
- Zabbix >= 1.8
- Nagios >= 3.x/Centreon >= 3.x (Requires Livestatus >= 1.2.5i1. )
Source configuration parameters
The following screenshort gives an overview of the source configuration page. Each field is described hereafter.
- Source Type: Set the type of source (Kubernetes, Zabbix, Nagios).
- API Endpoint URL (Kubernetes, Zabbix): Sets the base API URL of the source.
- For Kubernetes this must be either the API address or the URL for a proxied access.
- For Zabbix it shall be something like http://zabbix-server/zabbix/, while changing
zabbix-serverwith the address of the Zabbix server.
- Disable SSL Peer Verification: To be checked for self-signed certificate.
- Auth String: Sets credentials for authenticating against the remote API. If not explicitly stated for a given monitoring system, this setting should be considered as optional or not needed at all:
- For Kubernetes (optional), if set this value shall hold a token with at least read access to the following API resources (
/api/v1/namespaces,/api/v1/services,/api/v1/pods). It shall be typically left empty if RealOpInsight uses a proxied API access or is launched as a pod with sufficient RBAC permissions on Kubernetes. - For Zabbix, it shall be set with a pair
login:password(note the colon:) representing a valid user account.
- For Kubernetes (optional), if set this value shall hold a token with at least read access to the following API resources (
- Livestatus Host (Nagios & alike): Sets the hostname or the IP address of the machine hosting the Livestatus service.
- Livestatus Port (Nagios & alike): Sets the port of the Livestatus service.
- Update Interval: This global setting sets the interval after which the Operations Console will be refreshed with new status information retrieved from probe sources.
