PNP4Nagios for Debian
---------------------
PNP4Nagios supports several modes of operation. They differ in the way how
performance data is being processed and, thus, the efficiency of PNP. Detailed
documentation is available at <http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/modes>.
Using bulk mode for Nagios3
---------------------------
We recommend to use bulk mode with NPCD and npcdmod. This will facilitate an
easy installation and fast processing of performance data. To enable NPCD, set
'RUN' to 'yes' in /etc/default/npcd.
In order to enable processing of performance data in Nagios, please change the
"process_performance_data" statement in "/etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg" to
"process_performance_data=1".
To register the NPC event broker module (npcdmod), add the following line
(without quotes) to "/etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg":
"broker_module=/usr/lib/pnp4nagios/npcdmod.o config_file=/etc/pnp4nagios/npcd.cfg"
Finally reload your Nagios server by running "service nagios3 reload". All
performance data should be processed now.
Using bulk mode for Icinga
---------------------------
We recommend to use bulk mode with NPCD and npcdmod. This will facilitate an
easy installation and fast processing of performance data. To enable NPCD, set
'RUN' to 'yes' in /etc/default/npcd.
In order to enable processing of performance data in Icinga, please change the
"process_performance_data" statement in "/etc/icinga/icinga.cfg" to
"process_performance_data=1".
To register the NPC event broker module (npcdmod), copy the file
"/usr/share/doc/pnp4nagios-bin/examples/npcdmod.cfg" to
"/etc/icinga/modules"
Finally reload your Icinga server by running "service icinga reload". All
performance data should be processed now.

Add links for PNP4Nagios to Nagios / Icinga Webfrontend
-------------------------------------------------------
If you want links to PNP4Nagios for your monitored hosts and services in the
Nagios web frontend just add
- "action_url /pnp4nagios/graph?host=$HOSTNAME$"
to your hosts or host template(s)
- "action_url /pnp4nagios/graph?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=$SERVICEDESC$"
to your services or service template(s)
For more information and different modes of operation, see
<http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/config>.

Using Gearman mode
------------------
Starting with version 0.6.12, PNP4Nagios may operate as a Gearman worker. This
is useful in large, distributed setups using Nagios's mod_gearman. To use
the PNP Gearman worker, you'll need a running mod_gearman environment. See
<http://labs.consol.de/lang/en/nagios/mod-gearman/> for detailed setup
instructions.
In addition, the following configuration is required to get you started:
- Enable processing of performance data in Nagios: set
'process_performance_data=1' in "/etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg" or
"/etc/icinga/icinga.cfg" and reload your monitoring system:
"service nagios3 reload" / "service icinga reload".
- Enable the PNP Gearman worker daemon by setting 'RUN' to 'yes' in
/etc/default/pnp_gearman_worker. Check the Gearman related options in
"/etc/pnp4nagios/process_perfdata.cfg" (GEARMAN_HOST and encryption
settings) and start the Gearman worker: /etc/init.d/pnp_gearman_worker start
- Enable distribution of performance data in mod_gearman by setting the
'perfdata=yes' option.
When operating in Gearman mode, process_perfdata.pl requires the
Gearman::Worker, MIME::Base64, and Crypt::Rijndael Perl modules. These are
available in the libgearman-client-perl, perl, and libcrypt-rijndael-perl
Debian packages (see packages suggested by pnp4nagios-bin).
