Nagios VS Performance Co-Pilot

I've used this opportunity to look at some recent init files.

Here's one of the first I stumbled upon.

https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/blob/master/...

It's 288 lines long; the LSB dependency nonsense is 8 lines of that.

Then I looked up one for Postgres;

https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Lsb_conforming_init_script

This one is a whooping 356 lines long, LSB is again about 10 lines long, depending whether you count the header or not.

I don't think the "LSB dependency" argument holds water.

wget -O nagioscore.tar.gz https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/archive/nagios-4.4.12.tar.gz

Might be this bug? https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/issues/861

As far as i know there is no option to log all executed service checks except the debug log. Probably you are looking for log_service_retries=1 ?

Set up pcp and send the metrics off-host, so when things go south you don't lose the last few seconds.

Performance Co-Pilot -pcp.io - though. It just works for anything you want. Can get low level stats and export them. It is what Cockpit uses for it's stats too. So if you're gonna use cockpit it's a no-brainer. Even if you're not it's really easy to export the stats to nearly anything and use something like Grafana to keep an eye on it.

Wish these sorts of tweaks were integrated properly into https://pcp.io/
