Nagios Integration

Consolidate and integrate your monitoring tools. Alanata's Nagios integration enables you to connect existing Nagios monitoring with Dynatrace. Enrich Dynatrace SmartScape with Nagios hosts, ingest Nagios problems, and let Davis AI engine process the problems together with native Dynatrace events in an integrated AIOps solution. With this extension, you can use Dynatrace as a unifying platform for data from external monitoring solutions, eliminate event storms and minimize the time spent investigating.

Synchronization:

• Host information to Dynatrace custom devices, including Nagios host IP and monitoring configuration.
• Status for monitored hosts and services in form of Dynatrace events. Filter for Nagios object state:
  • State is not OK
  • State type is HARD
  • Active check or Passive check is enabled
  • Notification is enabled for Host or Service
  • Host and Service is not in scheduled downtime

Filtering:

• Filtering on host groups
• Filtering on service names via regular expressions list

Context information:

• Dynatrace Environment URL to link Hosts/Custom Devices and problems in Dynatrace with Nagios hosts and problems

Problem metric:

• Metric showing problem count for each device, only for custom devices (optional)

Nagios technology:

• Groups all custom devices from Nagios servers created by Nagios ActiveGate extension
• The special group with name Nagios Servers created. For each endpoint representing Nagios server is one custom device created there.
