Help with installation problems and techniques for installing OpenNMS on various platforms and operating systems

Distributed Monitoring

Hello All,

I am quite new to OpenNMS (and linux as well) I have recently successfully installed OpenNMS on Debian sarge in a few of my clients environment. My question is about distributed monitoring. I read about it in the wiki however I can not seem to find anything like a how to. Im fairly self sufficient if pointed in the right direction so I am not asking for detailed help (hopefully!). The idea is to have my company’s main OpenNMS server be the go to guy for at a glance monitoring. If I could have my clients report back to my server and see that information on the main webpage I would be all set! Is this possible and if so could anyone help me?

OpenNMS tubeweasel on Debian sarge.

Thank you very much in advance.

opennms-remote-poller.jar

Hello All,

To add to my previous post, I believe I am nearly there on the setup process. The problem is now that when I run ” java -jar opennms-remote-poller.jar rmi://onms-server-name RDU “ I get “Unable to access jarfile opennms-remote-poller.jar”. For the life of me I can not find this file. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Thank you

Paul

Distributed Poller

All,

Im utterly lost. Here is the situation.

I have 2 very “straight out of the box” installations of onms tubesnake. One is in my office, one is at a remote branch.

What I am trying to accomplish is to have the remote branch show up on my office ONMS. I believe I would accomplish this by setting up remote polling.

What I have done in that direction is changed the rmi address in my remote’s opennms.properties

I have made these additions to my office’s onms

Monitoring-locations.xml

<location-def location-name="Lakewood Pathology Associates" monitoring-area="LPA" polling-package-name="LPA"/>

</locations>

Poller-configuration.conf

<filter>IPADDR IPLIKE *.*.*.*</filter>

<include-range begin="1.1.1.1" end="254.254.254.254"/>

<rra>RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:2016</rra>

<rra>RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:12:4464</rra>

</rrd>

</service>

<outage-calendar>zzz from poll-outages.xml zzz</outage-calendar>

</package>

I have restarted onms in both locations

And finally I have tried to envoke the remote connection by running the three suggestions at the bottom of this page (http://www.opennms.org/index.php/Distributed_Monitoring)

I am having no success, and frankly im not sure I am even going in the right direction.

I apologize for posting so many times in a row.

Have a nice weekend.

Paul

broken dependencies at debian.opennms.org?

I'm trying to install opennms 1.5.91-1 from
  deb http://debian.opennms.org unstable main
on Debian/Lenny.

Please upload iplike >=3D 1.0.8 as reqired by opennms-db. The current
version in unstable is 1.0.7-1.

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies.

Dangit, yeah, I forgot to release the iplike, jicmp, and jrrd updates.

I'll post back when I've fixed it.  =)

Thanks, this was pretty fast :) I've installed the packages, it worked.

Configuration on Ubuntu Server

Aloha All,

I have installed and successfully detected my network. But I am unable to get notification working. I can’t seem to figure it out from the gui.

I have mail relaying working from the host to my mail server. I am seeing what appears to be outages etc but getting no notification. I have setup a destination path and a on call schedule but I can’t seem to get what exactly is required. I mean I am just trying to get the basics working for now.

What am I missing here?

Thanks in advance,

Chris

What version are you using? I would edit the javamail- 
configuration.properties file and set useJMTA to false. This should  
use the MTA on localhost to send mail, and if you have it working from  
the command line you should be golden.

Re: Configuration on Ubuntu Server

It was already set false.  What are the basic require things to get a
node down alert working?

I mean I see that is a lot of complexity out there.  I just want to
start with a list of nodes that are "monitored" and have an email
address where all events/alarms are sent to.
