Use Shinken with Old CGI and VShell

For the Old CGI & VShell

The Old CGI and VShell uses the old flat file export. Shinken can export to this file, but beware: this method is very very slooooow!

Warning

You should migrate to a Livestatus enabled web interface.

Declare the status_dat module

Export all status into a flat file in the old Nagios format. It’s for small/medium environment because it’s very slow to parse. It can be used by the Nagios CGI. It also exports the objects.cache file for this interface.

Edit your /etc/shinken/modules/status-dat.cfg file:

define module{

     module_name              Status-Dat
     module_type              status_dat
     status_file              /var/lib/shinken/status.data
     object_cache_file        /var/lib/shinken/objects.cache
     status_update_interval   15 ; update status.dat every 15s
}

Enable it

Edit your /etc/shinken/brokers/broker-master.cfg file and find the object Broker:

define broker{
    broker_name      broker-1
[...]
    modules          Simple-log,Status-Dat
}
