Alignak Monitoring general presentation

1. ALIGNAK MONITORING INTEGRATED MONITORING SOLUTION
2. INTRODUCTION Alignak is a complete monitoring solution. It will help you to easily implement the monitoring of your resources (servers, applications, network devices...). The reporting is too an important part of the solution and we especially worked on it to offer powerful views on webui.
3. FEATURES Fail-over Load balancing REST API for con guration and reporting Database for con guration, history, reporting WebUI Nagios / Shinken compatible features Robust code (many [unit|integration|functional] tests) Software quality with pep8 + pylint conformity Native support of grafana, timeseries (graphite/carbon, in uxdb), logs and also standard monitoring features...
4. GLOBAL SCHEMA
5. ALIGNAK: THE MONITORING FRAMEWORK (1/2)
6. ALIGNAK: THE MONITORING FRAMEWORK (2/2) Alignak is made of several parts that can be run on the same server or distributed: Arbiter: manages con guration and is an orchestra conductor Scheduler: schedules the checks to execute Poller: executes the checks Broker: gets event broks. As an example, populate the live state to the Backend Reactionner: executes actions scripts (noti cations, event handler...) Receiver: collects passive checks. As an example: NSCA
7. ALIGNAK-BACKEND: CONFIGURATION & REPORTING
8. HOW-TO CONFIGURATION 1/2 The steps: Add / update elements in backend (commands, hosts, services...) via API (command line, client, webui, plugin Monitoring for GLPI...) Start Alignak arbiter and it will get the con guration from the backend through the REST API Alignak arbiter dispatchs the con guration to other Alignak modules Periodically, the Arbiter checks if the con guration changed in backend. If so it gets and loads the new con guration
9. HOW-TO CONFIGURATION 2/2
10. HOW-TO RESOURCES CHECKS
11. WHERE CHECKS RESULTS GO
12. BACKEND CLIENT We support different clients / libraries to dialog with the Backend: Python 2.7 / 3.x client: PHP library: https://github.com/Alignak-monitoring-contrib/alignak- backend-client https://github.com/Alignak-monitoring-contrib/alignak-backend-php- client For information, the python client is used by the Alignak Arbiter, the Broker modules and the WebUI. Of course, any other low-level client may be used: curl, postman, ...
13. WEBUI In the WebUI, we can: Widget used to compose your dashboard Worldmap used to display on map works your hosts and state Minemap See all elements (hosts, services, commands, timeperiods...) See log table Manage acknowledge, downtime and recheck Graph of each check and more...
14. WEBUI - GRAPHS (1/2) The Alignak backend: Creates dashboards and graphs for each command (host / service) in Grafana Stores the id of the graph in host / service endpoint The webui: Gets and displays the graphs from Grafana
15. WEBUI - GRAPHS (2/2)
16. LOAD-BALANCING USAGE
17. FAIL-OVER USAGE
18. REALMS USAGE
19. MIGRATE FROM ANOTHER MONITORING SYSTEM If you already have Nagios or Shinken con guration les, you can: Start Alignak with your con guration les (without using the Alignak Backend) Import your data into the Alignak Backend thanks to an importation script
20. DOCUMENTATION We try to have a best complete documentation. Perhaps not really complete (you can help us!) but want it simple and understandable.
