Meet The New Nagios Core Services Platform

Built on over 25 years of monitoring experience, the Nagios Core Services Platform provides insightful monitoring dashboards, time-saving monitoring wizards, and unmatched ease of use. Use it for free indefinitely.

Monitoring Made Magically Better

  • Nagios Core on Overdrive
  • Powerful Monitoring Dashboards
  • Time-Saving Configuration Wizards
  • Open Source Powered Monitoring On Steroids
  • And So Much More!
Nagios Business Process Intelligence is an advanced grouping tool that allows you to set more complex dependencies to determine groups states. Nagios BPI provides an interface to effectively view the 'real' state of the network. Rules for group states can be determined by the user, and parent-child relationships are easily identified when you need to 'drill down' on a problem. This tool can also be used in conjunction with a check plugin to allow for notifications through Nagios.

This review rating is meant for Mr. Stecino only for providing nice way guidance to run Nagips BPI very well.

Below are the perfect steps:
* cd /tmp
* git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/nagios/nagiosbpi nagios-nagiosbpi
* cd nagios-nagiosbpi
* cp -R nagiosbpi /usr/local/nagios/share
* *cd /usr/local/nagios/share/nagiosbpi
* mkdir /usr/local/nagios/share/nagiosbpi/tmp
* chmod o+rx config_functions functions images tmp
* chmod o+rxw tmp
* chmod +x set_bpi_perms.sh

Edit "/usr/local/nagios/share/nagiosbpi/constants.conf" as below:

CONFIGFILE= /usr/local/nagios/share/nagiosbpi/bpi.conf
CONFIGBACKUP=/usr/local/nagios/share/nagiosbpi/tmp/bpi.conf.backup

##optional xml output of BPI group data. USE ABSOLUTE DIRECTORIES FOR ALL FILE LOCATIONS
XMLOUTPUT=/usr/local/nagios/share/nagiosbpi/tmp/bpi.xml

Finally, open NagiosBPI:
http://Nagios_IP/nagios/nagiosbpi

Enjoy....!!!

The link above only provides the version 2 of BPI which is only compatible with Nagios XI. If we can't get a v2 for Core, can we at least get a link to the last version that worked with Nagios Core?
Owner's reply

Looks like that link may have been removed. I don't have access to the packaged zip anymore, but you can checkout the 1.3 version here. http://sourceforge.net/p/nagios/svn/HEAD/tree/nagiosbpi/

zip don't contains tmp dir, set_bpi_perms.sh file, constants.conf file...
I installed nagiosbpi in the past and it worked perfectly. Now it seems that the INSTALL file is outdated. Can not install.

This review is considering the installation and documentation Nagios Core only.

This might be a great Add-On but I have to rate it as very poor because there is no such file set_bpi_perms.sh as mentioned in the INSTALL file.

I consider this really poor. As a work-around, it would have been nice to know what permissions/privileges are needed so one could do it manually.

Right now I'm only guessing (like chown nagios:www-data) and guessing is rarely good when reliably mapping business processes into Nagios.

If I get it running manually I might change the rating.

Is there still any development in this tool?

Easy to install. Easy to configure. Nice overview.
Disable iexplore compatibility mode or use Firefox or Chrome

One drawback I found is that failure of a non essential service causes a critical state for the group if it is the only non essential service. I would prefer if failure of non essential services would cause a warning state.
