- Python >=2.4 (>= 2.6 for the Web interface)
- Pyro, a python module, available in nearly all distributions, or with easy_install pyro wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-0.6c11.tar.gz tar zxf setuptools-0.6c11.tar.gz; cd setuptools-0.6c11; python setup.py install easy_install http://www.xs4all.nl/~irmen/pyro3/download/Pyro-3.10.tar.gz
Get the an already configured virtual appliance !
All Shinken versions are shipped as standalone applications, but also as a pre-configured virtual appliance. You can get it for some virtualisation tools:
How to launch it
You can connect with the account shinken/shinken, and then launch all the programs with :
./launch_all.sh
The default keyboard is in qwerty. To change it, launch sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup
Then you can connect to http://IPOFTHEVM/ (should be 192.168.56.101 for Virtual Box). You will have links to both Ninja, Thruk and NagVis interfaces.
For Ninja, you can connect with the account monitor/monitor, and nagiosadmin/nagiosadmin for NagVis.
Look at the README.txt file to know how to test high availability and other advanced features.
Good monitoring
