Nothing special with the DB schema. There’s no centralized DB that pulls from these different sources. I grab the info directly from my Nagios and Puppet servers.. The key is to get Puppet to run in stored config mode. As for ganglia, I was only concerned with the CPU, Load and Memory graphs and if you know the URL to the graphs, then it’s easy to modify the URL parameter to show whichever host you want to display.

+1 on the hope that you’ll release the code. We have pretty well the same setup and are working on setting up a similar inventory system.

If anything, I’d be very interested in seeing your database schema. Did you pull Nagios, ganglia links, and facts to a aggregated datdbase, or pulling from separate DBs?

Very slick! I would love it if you released this code to the public.

I should make a new blog post, but here’s some more information.

- Install ndoutils for Nagios so that it saves its data into a DB (i.e. MySQL).
- We use Ganglia for our graphs and the URL to each graph is static so it was easy to generate dynamic queries to produce the output.
- Save data from Puppet into a DB and you’ll be able to query for valuable system information.

Let me know if you have any other questions or need help.

I am looking to create something similar.

How are you grabbing your Nagios data? Screen scrape or hooking into Nagios itself?

What about the graphs, are you managing those manually or do you have another tool such as Cacti for graph management?

Any other tips?

PHP queries with MongoDB…

How to return selected fields from query.

// Query against the following field(s)

$query = array( “username” => $profile_id);

// Return only the following field(s)

$fields = array(”username”, “age”, “tags”, “gender”, “seeking”, “email”);

Sorry, I have no plans of releasing the code at this time.
