Alignak demonstration server
############################
*Setting-up a demonstration server for Alignak monitoring framework ...*
This repository contains many stuff for Alignak:
- demo configuration to set-up a demo server (the one used for http://demo.alignak.net)
- some various tests configurations (each having a README to explain what they are made for)
- scripts to run the Alignak daemons for the demo server (may be used for other configurations)
What's behind the demo server
=============================
This demonstration is made to involve the most possible Alignak components on a single node server.
To set-up this demo, you must:
- install Alignak
- install Alignak backend
- install Alignak Web UI
- install Alignak modules (backend and nsca)
- install Alignak checks packs (NRPE, WMI, SNMP, ...)
- import the configuration into the backend
- start the backend, the Web UI and Alignak
- open your web browser and rest for a while looking at what happens :)
**Note**: it is possible to run Alignak without the backend and the WebUI. all the monitoring events are then available in the monitoring logs but, with this small configuration, one will loose the benefits ;)
The monitored configuration
---------------------------
On a single server, the monitored configuration is separated in four **realms** (*All*, *North*, *South* and *South-East*).
Some hosts are in the *All* realm and others are in the *North* and *South* realm, both sub-realms of *All* realm. The *South-East* realm is a sub-realm of *South* and it also contains some hosts.
The *All* realm is (let's say...) a primary datacenter where main servers are located. *North* and *South* realms are a logical group for a part of our monitored configuration. They may be seen as secondary sites.
According to Alignak daemon logic, the master Arbiter dispatches the configuration to the daemons of each realm and we must declare, for each realm:
- a scheduler
- a broker
- a poller
- a receiver (not mandatory but we want to have NSCA collector)
In the *All* realm, we find the following hosts:
- localhost
- and some others
In the *North* realm, we find some passive hosts checked thanks to NSCA.
In the *South* realm, we find some other hosts.
Requirements
------------
Mandatory requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You will need some requirements for setting-up this demonstration:
::
# Update your server
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
# Install git and python
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install python2.7 python2.7-dev python-pip
# Needed for the PyOpenSSL / Cryptography dependencies of Alignak
sudo apt-get install libffi-dev libssl-dev
Optional requirements
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The scripts provided with this demo use the `screen` utility found on all Linux/Unix distro. As such::
sudo apt-get install screen
Some screen hint and tips:
::
# Listing the active screens
screen -ls
# Joining a screen
screen -r alignak-backend
# Leaving a screen (without killing it)
screen -r alignak-backend
Ctrl a+d
# Switching between active screens
Ctrl a+n
**Note**: *It is not mandatory to use the provided scripts, but it is more simple for a first try;)*
Setting-up the demo
===================
We recommend having an up-to-date system;)
::
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
We also recommend using the most recent `pip` utility. On many distros pip is currently available as version 8 whereas the version 9 is available:
::
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
1. Get base components
----------------------
**Note** that all the Alignak components need a root account (or *sudo* privilege) to get installed.
Alignak framework
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
mkdir ~/repos
cd ~/repos
# Alignak framework
git clone https://github.com/Alignak-monitoring/alignak
cd alignak
# Install alignak and all its python dependencies
# -v will activate the verbose mode of pip (not mandatory...)
sudo pip install -v .
# Create alignak user/group and set correct permissions on installed configuration files
sudo ./dev/set_permissions.sh
Alignak backend
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
# Alignak backend
sudo pip install alignak-backend
# To allow alignak user to view the log files
sudo chown -R alignak:alignak /usr/local/var/log/alignak-backend/
**Note** that you will need to have a running Mongo database. See the `Alignak backend installation procedure <http://alignak-backend.readthedocs.io/en/develop/install.html>`_ if you need to set one up and running.
An excerpt for installing MongoDB on an Ubuntu Xenial:
::
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 0C49F3730359A14518585931BC711F9BA15703C6
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/ubuntu xenial/mongodb-org/testing multiverse" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
sudo service mongod start
An excerpt for installing MongoDB on a debian Jessie:
::
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv 0C49F3730359A14518585931BC711F9BA15703C6
echo "deb http://repo.mongodb.org/apt/debian jessie/mongodb-org/3.4 main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mongodb-org-3.4.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y mongodb-org
sudo service mongod start
Alignak backend importation script
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Alignak ships a flat-file configuration importation script to feed the Alignak backend. This script is used to parse, check and import a Nagios-like configuration into the Alignak backend.
**Note** that it is not mandatory to install and use this script because the Alignak WebUI allows to create all the monitored objects configuration from scratch :)
For this demo, we will install and use the `alignak-backend-import` script? So let's install it
::
# Alignak backend importation script
sudo pip install alignak-backend-import
Alignak webui
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
# Alignak webui
sudo pip install alignak-webui
# To allow alignak user to view the log files
sudo chown -R alignak:alignak /usr/local/var/log/alignak-webui/

2. Install check plugins
------------------------
Some extra installation steps are still necessary because we are using some external plugins and then we need to install them.
The NRPE checks package requires the `check_nrpe` plugin that is commonly available as:
::
sudo apt-get install nagios-nrpe-plugin
The monitoring checks package requires some extra plugins. Installation and configuration procedure is `available here <https://github.com/Alignak-monitoring-contrib/alignak-checks-monitoring/tree/updates#configuration>`_ or on the Monitoring Plugins project page.
You may instead install the Nagios plugins that are commonly available as:
::
sudo apt-get install nagios-plugins
As of now, you really installed all the necessary stuff for starting a demo monitoring application, 2nd step achieved!
3. Get extension components
---------------------------
**Note**: If you intend to set-up your own monitoring configuration, you are yet ready!
The next three chapters explain how to install Alignak modules, checks and notifications for the demo server.
**Note** *because most of the checks packs are able to create the templates, commands,... directly into the Alignak backend during the installation processyou should start the Alignak backend before installing the checks packs and modules ;) See later in this document how to start the Alignak backend...*
To avoid executing all these configuration steps, you can install a all-in-one package that will install all the other packages thanks to its dependencies:
::
# Alignak demo configuration
# IMPORTANT: use the --force argument to allow overwriting previously installed files!
sudo pip install alignak-demo --force
# Re-update permissions on installed configuration files
sudo ./dev/set_permissions.sh
mkdir ~/demo
cp /usr/local/var/libexec/alignak/*.sh ~/demo
**Note**: it is the easisest solution to quickly have a running demo server, but it will miss all the important configuration part for a monitoring system :)
**Note**: If you install the alignak-demo package, go directly to the step 5.
Modules
~~~~~~~
*Execute these steps only if you did not installed `alignak-demo`*
Get and install Alignak modules::
# Those two modules are "almost" necessary for the essential alignak features
# If you do not install this module, you will not benefit from the Alignak backend features (retention, logs, timeseries, ...)
sudo pip install alignak-module-backend
# If you do not install this module, you will miss a log of all the alignak monitoring events: alerts, notifications, ...
sudo pip install alignak-module-logs
# Those are optional...
# Collect passive NSCA checks
sudo pip install alignak-module-nsca
# Write external commands (Nagios-like) to a local named file
sudo pip install alignak-module-external-commands
# Notify external commands though a WS and get Alignak state with your web browser
sudo pip install alignak-module-ws
# Improve NRPE checks
sudo pip install alignak-module-nrpe-booster
# Note that the default module configuration is not suitable, but it will be installed later...
Notifications
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Execute these steps only if you did not installed `alignak-demo`*
Get notifications package::
# Install extra notifications package
sudo pip install alignak-notifications
**Note** *that this pack requires an SMTP server for the mail notifications to be sent out. If none is available you will get WARNING logs and the notifications will not be sent out, but the demo will run anyway :) See later in this document how to configure the mail notifications...*
Checks packages
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Execute these steps only if you did not installed `alignak-demo`*
**Note** *that most of the checks packs are able to create the templates, commands,... directly into the Alignak backend during the installation process. To allow this creation, your Alignak backend must be running and available on its default interface (http://127.0.0.1:5000).*
Get checks packages::
# Install checks packages according to the hosts you want to monitor
# Checks hosts thanks to NRPE Nagios active checks protocol
sudo pip install alignak-checks-nrpe
# Checks hosts thanks to old plain SNMP protocol
sudo pip install alignak-checks-snmp
# Checks hosts with "open source" Nagios plugins (eg. check_http, check_tcp, ...)
sudo pip install alignak-checks-monitoring
# Checks mysql database server
sudo pip install alignak-checks-mysql
# Checks Windows passively checked hosts/services (NSClient++ agent)
# As of now, use ==1.0rc1 to get the correct version
sudo pip install alignak-checks-windows-nsca
# Checks Windows with Microsoft Windows Management Instrumentation
sudo pip install alignak-checks-wmi
# Note that the default packs configuration is not always suitable, but it will be installed later...
# Restore alignak user/group ownership and set correct permissions on installed configuration files
sudo ./dev/set_permissions.sh

alignak-webui (0.8.8.1)
As of now, you installed all the necessary Alignak stuff for starting a demo monitoring application, 3rd step achieved!
4. Configure Alignak and monitored hosts/services
-------------------------------------------------
**Note:** *you may configure Alignak on your own and set your proper monitored hosts and declare how to monitor them. This is the usual way for setting-up your monitoring solution... But, as we are in a demo process, and we want to make it simple, this repository has a prepared configuration to help going faster to a demonstration of Alignak features.*
For this demonstration, we imagined a distributed configuration in three *realms*: All, North and South. This is not the default Alignak configuration (*eg. one instance of each daemon in one realm*) and thus it implies declaring and configuring extra daemons. As we are using some modules we also need to declare those modules in the corresponding daemons configuration. Alignak also has some configuration parameters that may be tuned.
If you need more information `about alignak configuration <http://alignak-doc.readthedocs.io/en/update/04-1_alignak_configuration/index.html>`_.
To avoid dealing with all this configuration steps, this repository contains a default demo configuration that uses all (or almost...) the previously installed components.::
# Alignak demo configuration
cd ~/repos
git clone https://github.com/Alignak-monitoring-contrib/alignak-demo
Some extra configuration files are shipped in the *alignak_demo/etc* directory. You may copy those files to replace the default Alignak shipped configuration, but, as we will use the Alignak backend, most of the configuration will stay in the backend database and copying the files is not necessary.
cp -R ~/demo/alignak-demo/alignak_demo/etc /usr/local/etc/alignak
Some utility scripts are also shipped in the *alignak_demo/libexec* folder. For ease of use, you may copy those scripts in your home directory.
::
mkdir ~/demo
cp /usr/local/var/libexec/alignak/*.sh ~/demo
As explained previously, the shell scripts that you just copied use the `screen` utility to detach the process execution from the current shell session.
As of now, Alignak is configured and you are ready to run, 4th step achieved!
5. Configure, run and feed Alignak backend
------------------------------------------
It is not necessary to change anything in the Alignak backend configuration file except if your MongoDB installation is not a local database configured by default. Else, open the */usr/local/etc/alignak-backend/settings.json* configuration file to set-up the parameters according to your configuration.
start / stop the backend
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Run the Alignak backend:
::
cd ~/demo
# Detach a screen session identified as "alignak-backend" to run the backend processes
sudo ./alignak_backend_start.sh
# This will run the alignak-backend-uwsgi in a screen session. If you do not mind about a
# backend screen, you should run: sudo alignak-backend-uwsgi
# Using sudo because we assume that you are logged with a user account that is not the alignak one
ps -aux | grep uwsgi-
root 25193 0.5 0.4 238604 72044 9 I+J 10:13AM 7:10.69 uwsgi --ini /usr/local/etc/alignak-backend/uwsgi.ini
root 25191 0.0 0.0 17096 2076 9 I+J 10:13AM 0:00.00 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/alignak-backend-uwsgi
root 25192 0.0 0.1 55876 10816 9 S+J 10:13AM 0:03.18 uwsgi --ini /usr/local/etc/alignak-backend/uwsgi.ini
root 25194 0.0 0.3 189536 57440 9 S+J 10:13AM 0:31.97 uwsgi --ini /usr/local/etc/alignak-backend/uwsgi.ini
root 25195 0.0 0.4 190048 60532 9 S+J 10:13AM 3:00.39 uwsgi --ini /usr/local/etc/alignak-backend/uwsgi.ini
root 25196 0.0 0.4 190304 60708 9 S+J 10:13AM 0:41.29 uwsgi --ini /usr/local/etc/alignak-backend/uwsgi.ini
# Joining the backend screen is 'screen -r alignak-backend'
# Ctrl+C in the screen will stop the backend
# kill -SIGTERM `cat /tmp/alignak-backend.pid`
# The alignak backend writes some logs as a Web server does
tail -f /usr/local/var/log/alignak-backend-error.log
tail -f /usr/local/var/log/alignak-backend-access.log
The alignak backend runs thanks to uWSGI and its configuration is available in the */usr/local/alignak-backend/uwsgi.ini* where you can define the log files location. You can also configure the Alignak backend to send its internal metrics to a Graphite timeseries database.
**Note** that a Grafana dashboard for the Alignak backend is available in the */usr/local/etc/alignak/sample/grafana* directory created when you installed the alignak-demo package;)
Feed the backend
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Run the Alignak backend import script to push the demo configuration into the backend:
::
# Import the demo configuration into the backend
cd ~/repos/alignak-demo
alignak-backend-import -d ./alignak_demo/etc/alignak-backend-import.cfg
**Note**: *there are other solutions to feed the Alignak backend but we choose to show how to get an existing configuration imported in the Alignak backend to migrate from an existing Nagios/Shinken to Alignak.*
Once imported, you can check that the configuration is correctly parsed by Alignak:
::
# Check Alignak demo configuration (from the git repo)
alignak-arbiter -V -a ~/repos/alignak-demo/alignak_demo/etc/alignak.cfg
[2017-01-06 11:57:28 CET] INFO: [alignak.objects.config] Creating packs for realms

[2017-01-06 11:57:28 CET] INFO: [alignak.daemons.arbiterdaemon] Arbiter checked the configuration
**Note** *because the backend is now started and available, there is no more ERROR raised during the configuration check! You may still have some information about duplicate elements but nothing to take care of...*
As of now, Alignak is ready to start... let us go!
6. Run Alignak
--------------
Run Alignak:
::
cd ~/demo
# Define where to find the Alignak configuration file
# As default, it will use the */usr/local/etc/alignak/alignak.cfg* file. If you copied the
# files to the default location, it is not necessary to define those variables
export ALIGNAKCFG=~/repos/alignak-demo/alignak_demo/etc/alignak.cfg
export ALIGNAKCFG=~/repos/alignak-demo/alignak_demo/etc/daemons
# For FreeBSD users:
setenv ALIGNAKCFG /root/repos/alignak-demo/alignak_demo/
setenv ALIGNAKDAEMONS /root/repos/alignak-demo/alignak_demo/etc/daemons/
# Detach several screen sessions identified as "alignak-daemon_name"
./alignak_demo_start.sh
# Stopping Alignak is './alignak_demo_stop.sh'

Log files
~~~~~~~~~
Each Alignak daemon has its own log file that you can find in the */usr/local/var/log/alignak* folder. If any error happen there will be at least an ERROR log in the corresponding file. You can *tail* the log files or use more sophisticated tools like *multitail* to stay tuned with Alignak activity
::
# Using tail
tail -f /usr/local/var/log/alignak/*.log
# Using multitail
sudo apt-get install multitail
multitail -f /usr/local/var/log/alignak/arbiterd.log\
-f /usr/local/var/log/alignak/brokerd.log \
-f /usr/local/var/log/alignak/brokerd-north.log \

-f /usr/local/var/log/alignak/schedulerd.log \
-f /usr/local/var/log/alignak/schedulerd-north.log \
-f /usr/local/var/log/alignak/schedulerd-south.log
Tracking the plugin execution
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When setting up a new configuration and installing or testing plugins it may be interesting to have information about the launched check plugins and the returned results. Alignak allows to add information in the log files about plugins execution:
::
# Set and export an environment variable
export TEST_LOG_ACTIONS=1
This variable make some more logs in the log files for:
- launched command for the check plugins
- check plugins result
- notification commands
Monitoring events
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can follow the Alignak monitoring activity thanks to the monitoring events log created by the Logs module. You can *tail* the */usr/local/var/log/alignak/monitoring-logs.log* file:
::

Monitoring events configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This file is a log of all the monitoring activity of Alignak. The *alignak.cfg* allows to define what are the events that are logged to this file. By default, only the active and passive checks ran by Alignak are not logged to this file:
::
# Monitoring log configuration
# ---
# Note that alerts and downtimes are always logged
# ---
# Notifications
# log_notifications=1
# Services retries
# log_service_retries=1
# Hosts retries
# log_host_retries=1
# Event handlers
# log_event_handlers=1
# Flappings
# log_flappings=1
# Snapshots
# log_snapshots=1
# External commands
# log_external_commands=1
# Active checks
# log_active_checks=0
# Passive checks
# log_passive_checks=0
# Initial states
# log_initial_states=1
Configure Alignak notifications
-------------------------------
As explained previously the alignak notifications pack needs to be configured for sending out the mail notifications. This demo configuration is using default parameters for the mail server that may be adapted to your own configuration.
With the default parameters, you will have some WARNING logs in the *schedulerd.log* file, such as:
::
[2017-01-07 10:00:47 CET] WARNING: [alignak.scheduler] The notification command '/usr/local/var/libexec/alignak/notify_by_email.py -t service -S localhost -ST 25 -SL your_smtp_login -SP your_smtp_password -fh -to guest@localhost -fr alignak@monitoring -nt PROBLEM -hn "alignak_glpi" -ha 127.0.0.1 -sn "Disk /var" -s CRITICAL -ls UNKNOWN -o "NRPE: Command 'check_var' not defined" -dt 0 -db "1483779644.85" -i 2 -p ""' raised an error (exit code=1): 'Traceback (most recent call last):'
To configure the Alignak mail notifications, edit the */usr/local/etc/alignak/arbiter/packs/resource.d/notifications.cfg* file and set the proper parameters for your configuration:
::
#-- SMTP server configuration
$SMTP_SERVER$=localhost
$SMTP_PORT$=25
$SMTP_LOGIN$=your_smtp_login
$SMTP_PASSWORD$=your_smtp_password
# -- Mail configuration
$MAIL_FROM$=demo.server@alignak.net
You may also adapt the contacts used in this demo configuration else WE will receive you notification mails :). the used contacts are defined as is:
- alignak.administrator@alignak.net, as the administrator contact for the realm All
- north.administrator@alignak.net, as the administrator contact for the realm North
- south.administrator@alignak.net, as the administrator contact for the realm South
You will find their definition in the */usr/local/etc/arbiter/realms* folder, in each realm (All, North,...) *contacts* sub-folder.
Use Alignak Web services
------------------------
The alignak Web Services module exposes some Web Services on the port 8888.
Get the Alignak daemons status:
::
http://127.0.0.1:8888/alignak_map
**Note** that the default configuration requires an HTTP authorized access with a basic HTTP authorization from a user existing in the alignak backend. You can disable this in the `mod-ws.cfg` file, else use *curl* with this syntax:
::
$ curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET -d '{"username":"admin","password":"admin"}' http://127.0.0.1:8888/alignak_map
For more information about the Alignak available services, please see the `Alignak Web Services online documentation <http://alignak-module-ws.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_.
7. Configure/run Alignak Web UI
-------------------------------
As of now, your configuration is monitored and you will receive notifications when something is detected as faulty. Everything is under control but why missing having an eye on what's happening in your system with a more sexy interface than tailing a log file and reading emails?
Install the Alignak Web User Interface:
::
# Alignak WebUI
sudo pip install alignak-webui
The default installation is suitable for this demonstration but you may update the *(/usr/local)/etc/alignak-webui/settings.cfg* configuration file to adapt this default configuration.
Run the Alignak WebUI:
::
cd ~/demo
# Detach a screen session identified as "alignak-webui"
./alignak_webui_start.sh
# This will run the alignak-webui-uwsgi in a screen session. If you do not mind about a
# WebUI screen, you should run: alignak-webui-uwsgi
ps -aux | grep uwsgi
root 26312 0.0 0.0 17096 2076 13 I+J 10:23AM 0:00.00 /bin/sh /usr/local/bin/alignak-webui-uwsgi
root 26313 0.0 0.2 157324 38204 13 S+J 10:23AM 0:01.32 uwsgi --ini /usr/local/etc/alignak-webui/uwsgi.ini
root 26318 0.0 0.4 178952 64724 13 S+J 10:23AM 0:20.76 uwsgi --ini /usr/local/etc/alignak-webui/uwsgi.ini
root 26319 0.0 0.4 181512 68360 13 S+J 10:23AM 0:28.29 uwsgi --ini /usr/local/etc/alignak-webui/uwsgi.ini
root 26320 0.0 0.5 203016 86876 13 S+J 10:23AM 1:00.70 uwsgi --ini /usr/local/etc/alignak-webui/uwsgi.ini
root 26321 0.0 0.7 227336 111520 13 S+J 10:23AM 1:45.06 uwsgi --ini /usr/local/etc/alignak-webui/uwsgi.ini
# Joining the webui screen is 'screen -r alignak-webui'
# Ctrl+C in the screen will stop the WebUI
# kill -SIGTERM `cat /tmp/alignak-webui.pid`
# The alignak webui writes some logs as a Web server does
tail -f /usr/local/var/log/alignak-webui-error.log
tail -f /usr/local/var/log/alignak-webui-access.log
Use your Web browser to navigate to http://127.0.0.1:5001 and log in with *admin* / *admin*.
To use the WebUI from another machine (eg. if you are using a virtual machine), you can set a fake local loop:
::
ssh -L 5001:127.0.0.1:5001 login@ip_vm_test
The alignak WebUI runs thanks to uWSGI and its configuration is available in the */usr/local/alignak-webui/uwsgi.ini* where you can define the log files location. You can also configure the Alignak WebUI to send its internal metrics to a Graphite timeseries database.
**Note** that a Grafana dashboard for the Alignak WebUI is available in the */usr/local/etc/alignak/sample/grafana* directory created when you installed the alignak-demo package;)
8. Configure/run Alignak desktop applet
---------------------------------------
Except when you are in Big Brother mode, you almost always do not need a full Web interface as the one provided by the Alignak WebUI. This is why Alignak provides a desktop applet available for Linux and Windows desktops.
Install the Alignak App:
::
# For Linux users with python2
sudo apt-get install python-qt4
# For Linux and Windows users with python3
pip3 install PyQt5 --user
# For Windows users, we recommend using python3, else install PyQt from the download page.
# Otherwise, you can find a Windows installer on repository, with all packages inside, to run it.
# Alignak App
pip install alignak_app --user
# As of now, the last version is not yet pip installable, so we:
git clone https://github.com/Alignak-monitoring-contrib/alignak-app
cd alignak-app
pip install . --user
# Linux: Run the app (1st run)
$HOME/.local/alignak_app/alignak-app start
# Then you will be able for next runs to
alignak-app start
# Windows: Run the app
python "%APPDATA%\Python\alignak_app\bin\alignak-app.py
# If you used the Windows installer, just run the desktop shortcut "Alignak-app"
The applet will require a username and a password that are the same os the one used for the Web UI (use *admin* / *admin*). Click on the Alignak icon in the desktop toolbar to activate the Alignak-app features: alignak status, host synthesis view, host/services states, ...
A notification popup will appear if something changed in the hosts / services states existing in the Alignak backend.
The default configuration is suitable for this demonstration but you may update the *settings.cfg* configuration file that is largely commented. On Linux, this file is located under *$HOME/.local/alignak_app/* folder. On Windows, configuration file can be found under *%APPDATA%\Python\alignak_app\* or *%PROGRAMFILES%\Alignak-app* if you run installer.
9. Configure Alignak backend for timeseries
-------------------------------------------
The Alignak backend allows to send collected performance data to a timeseries database. It must be configured to know where to send the timeseries data.
**Note**: Using StatsD as a front-end to the Graphite Carbon collector is not mandatory but it will help to have more regular statistics and it will maintain a metrics cache. But the purpose of this doc is not to discuss about the benefits / drawbacks of StatsD...
Using the Alignak WebUI makes it really easy to configure. Navigate to the Web UI Alignak backend menu and select the *Backend Grafana* item. Enter edition mode and add a new item. Also create a new Graphite item related to the Grafana item you just created, and that's it ...
You can also use command line scripts to create such information in the Alignak backend. Using the `alignak-backend-client` script makes it easy to configure this:
::
cd ~/demo
# Get the example configuration files
cp /usr/local/etc/alignak/sample/backend/* ~/demo
If you **do not** intend to use the StatsD daemon, execute these commands:
::
# Use Alignak backend CLI to add a Grafana instance
alignak-backend-cli -v add -t grafana --data=example_grafana.json grafana_demo
# Use Alignak backend to add a Graphite instance
alignak-backend-cli -v add -t graphite --data=example_graphite.json graphite_demo
If you **do** intend to use the StatsD daemon, execute these commands:
::
# Use Alignak backend CLI to add a Grafana instance
alignak-backend-cli -v add -t grafana --data=example_grafana.json grafana_demo
# Use Alignak backend CLI to add a StatsD instance
alignak-backend-cli -v add -t statsd --data=example_statsd.json statsd_demo
# Use Alignak backend to add a Graphite instance
alignak-backend-cli -v add -t graphite --data=example_graphite_statsd.json graphite_demo
You can edit the *example_*.json* provided files to include your own Graphite / Grafana (or InfluxDB) parameters. For more information see the `Alignak backend documentation <http://alignak-backend.readthedocs.io/en/develop/api.html#timeseries-databases>`_.
**Warning**: It will be mandatory to update the Grafana configuration with your own Grafana API key else the backend will not be able to create the Grafana dashboards and panels automatically!
**Note**: `alignak-backend-cli` is coming with the installation of the Alignak backend client.
10. Upgrading
-------------
Some updates are regularly pushed on the different alignak repositories and then you will sometime need to update this demo configuration. Before upgrading the application you should stop Alignak:
::
cd ~/demo
# Stop all alignak processes
./alignak_demo_stop.sh
# Check everything is stopped
ps -ef | grep alignak-
# Kill remaining processes. It may happen on a demo server;)
pkill alignak-broker
To upgrade Alignak, you can:
::
cd ~/repos/alignak
# Get the last develop version
git pull
# Install alignak and all its python dependencies
# -v will activate the verbose mode of pip
sudo pip install -v .
# Create alignak user/group and set correct permissions on installed configuration files
sudo ./dev/set_permissions.sh
To upgrade all the alignak packages that were installed, you can:
::
pip install -U pip list | grep alignak | awk '{ print $1}'
To list the currently installed packages and to know if they are up-to-date, you can use this command:
::
pip list --outdated | grep alignak
To get the list of outdated packages as a pip requirements list:
::
pip list --outdated --format columns | grep alignak | awk '{printf "%s==%s\n", $1, $3}' > alignak-update.txt
and to update:
::
pip install -r alignak-update.txt
What we see?
============
Monitored system status
-----------------------
The `Alignak Web UI <http://demo.alignak.net/>`_ running on our demo server allows to view the monitored system status. Have a look here: `http://demo.alignak.net <http://demo.alignak.net>`_. Several login may be used depending on the user role:
* admin / admin, to get logged-in as an Administrator. You will see all the hosts and will be able to execute some commands (acknowledge a problem, schedule a downtime,...)
* northman / north, to get logged-in as a power user in the North realm. You will see all the hosts of the All and North realms and will be able to execute commands.
* southman / south, to get logged-in as a power user in the South realm. You will see all the hosts of the All and South realms and will be able to execute commands.
Alignak internal metrics
------------------------
Alignak maintains its own internal metrics and it is able to send them to a `StatsD server <https://github.com/etsy/statsd>`_. Install the StatsD server locally (as explained later in this document) and update the `alignak.cfg` configuration file to enable this feature:
::
# Export all alignak inner performances into a statsd server.
# By default at localhost:8125 (UDP) with the alignak prefix
# Default is not enabled
statsd_host=localhost
#statsd_port=8125
statsd_prefix=alignak
statsd_enabled=1
We are running a `demo Grafana server <http://grafana.demo.alignak.net>`_ that allows to see the Alignak internal metrics. Several dashboards are available:
* `Alignak internal metrics <http://grafana.demo.alignak.net/dashboard/db/alignak-internal-metrics>`_ shows the statistics provided by Alignak. This sample dashboard is available in the Alignak repository, *contrib* folder.
* `Graphite server <http://grafana.demo.alignak.net/dashboard/db/graphite-server-carbon-metrics>`_ reports on Carbon/Graphite own monitoring. This dashboard is available from the Grafana.net web site.
Installing StatsD / Graphite / Grafana
--------------------------------------
**NOTE** this section is a draft chapter. Currently the installatin described here is not fully functional !
StatsD
~~~~~~
Install node.js on your server according to the recommended installation process.
On FreeBSD:
::
pkg install node
On Ubuntu / Debian:
::
# For Node.js 6
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_6.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs
To get the most recent StatsD (if you distro packaging do not provide it, you must clone the git repository:
::
$ cd ~
$ git clone https://github.com/etsy/statsd
$ cd statsd
# Create an alignak.js file with the following content (for a localhost Graphite)
$ cp exampleConfig.js alignak.js
$ cat alignak.js
{
graphitePort: 2003
, graphiteHost: "127.0.0.1"
, port: 8125
, backends: [ "./backends/graphite" ]
/* Do not use any StatsD metric hierarchy */
, graphite: {
/* Do not use legacy namespace */
legacyNamespace: false
/* Set a global prefix */
, globalPrefix: "alignak-statsd"
/* Set empty prefixes */
, prefixCounter: ""
, prefixTimer: ""
, prefixGauge: ""
, prefixSet: ""
/* Do not set any global suffix
, globalSuffix: "_"
*/
}
}
# Start the StatsD daemon in a screen
$ screen -S statsd
$ node stats.js alignak.js
# And leave the screen...
$ Ctrl+AD
# Test StatsD
$ ll /var/lib/graphite/whisper/alignak-statsd/statsd/
total 84

As of now you have a running StatsD daemon that will collect the Alignak internal metrics to feed Graphite.
Graphite Carbon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
::
$ sudo su
$ apt-get update
# Set TZ as UTC
$ dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
=> UTC
# Install Carbon
$ apt-get install graphite-carbon
# Configure Carbon
$ vi /etc/default/graphite-carbon
# Enable carbon service on boot
=> CARBON_CACHE_ENABLED=true
# Configuration file
$ vi /etc/carbon/carbon.conf
# Enable log rotation
=> ENABLE_LOGROTATION = True
# Aggregation configuration (default is suitable...)
$ cp /usr/share/doc/graphite-carbon/examples/storage-aggregation.conf.example /etc/carbon/storage-aggregation.conf
# Start the metrics collector service (Carbon)
$ service carbon-cache start
# Monitor activity
$ tail -f /var/log/carbon/console.log
# Test carbon (send a metric test.count)
$ echo "test.count 4 `date +%s`" | nc -q0 127.0.0.1 2003
$ ls /var/lib/graphite/whisper
=> test/count.wsp
Graphite API
~~~~~~~~~~~~
No need for the Graphite Web application, we will use Grafana ;)
::
$ sudo su
# Install Graphite-API
##### $ apt-get install graphite-api; do not seem to survive a system restart :)
$ wget https://github.com/brutasse/graphite-api/releases/download/1.1.2/graphite-api_1.1.2-1447943657-ubuntu14.04_amd64.deb
$ dpkg -i
# Install Nginx / uWsgi
$ apt-get install nginx uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python
# Configure uWsgi
$ vi /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/graphite-api.ini
[uwsgi]
processes = 2
socket = localhost:8080
plugins = python27
module = graphite_api.app:app
buffer = 65536
$ ln -s /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/graphite-api.ini /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled
$ service uwsgi restart
# Configure nginx
$ vi /etc/nginx/sites-available/graphite.conf
server {
listen 80;
location / {
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass localhost:8080;
}
}
$ ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/graphite.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
$ service nginx restart
StatsD

To be completed !
Grafana
~~~~~~~
::
# Install Grafana (Version 4 only supported by the Alignak backend!)
wget https://grafanarel.s3.amazonaws.com/builds/grafana_3.1.1-1470047149_amd64.deb
apt-get install -y adduser libfontconfig
dpkg -i grafana_3.1.1-1470047149_amd64.deb
# Configure Grafana (not necessary...)
$ vi /etc/grafana/grafana.ini
$ service grafana-server start
# Open your web browser on http://127.0.0.1:3000
