Agent setup
To gather data from remote systems you can use LibreNMS in combination with check_mk (included in the scripts directory).
On each of the hosts you would like to use the agent on then you need to do the following:
-
Copy the check_mk_agent script into /usr/bin/ and make it executable.
cp scripts/check_mk_agent /usr/bin/check_mk_agent chmod +x /usr/bin/check_mk_agent
-
Copy the xinetd config file into place.
cp scripts/check_mk_xinetd /etc/xinetd.d/check_mk
-
Make the relevant directories.
mkdir -p /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/plugins /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local
-
Copy each of the scripts from scripts/agent-local/ into /usr/lib/check_mk_agent/local
-
Now restart xinetd.
/etc/init.d/xinetd restart
-
Login to the LibreNMS web interface and edit the device you want to monitor. Under the modules section, ensure that unix-agent is enabled.
-
Then under Applications, enable the apps that you plan to monitor.
-
Wait, in around 10 minutes you should start seeing data in your graphs under Apps for the device.
