[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#626456: nagvis: configuration after install does not work (error MySQLConnectionFailed)

[Knaller, Thomas]

Package: nagvis
Version: 1:1.4.6-1.1
Severity: important

After installing nagvis by apt-get install nagvis, the url http://ip-address/nagvis does not work.

In order to get it working, you need to edit several files:
/etc/default/ndoutils
set ENABLE_NDOUTILS=1
remove # in front of SOCKET=..

/etc/nagios3/nagios.cfg
add line broker_module=/usr/lib/ndoutils/ndomod-mysql-3x.o config_file=/etc/nagios3/ndomod.cfg


restart ndoutils and nagios3 services


/etc/nagvis/nagvis.ini.php
under the section [backend_ndomy_1]
you need to specify dbname, dbuser and dbpass, even though it's stored
under /etc/dbconfig-common/ndoutils-mysql.conf and there is a file called
/etc/dbconfig-common/nagvis.conf in which there is nothing configured.

after that http://ip-address/nagvis works fine.

automatically adding a link to nagvis from nagios menu would also be great,
this is an edit in /usr/share/nagios3/htdocs/side.php,
specifying something like this:
<li><a href="/nagvis" target="<?php echo $link_target;?>">Nagvis</a></li>

somewhere the nagvis-link fits (i.e. under the link to "Map".



It would be nice to have those changes done automatically after the install or at least have some documentation in /usr/share/doc/nagvis/README.Debian about it.

This issue applies to both x86 and x64 versions of debian 6.
