CoffeeSaint Description

A Nagios status viewer CoffeeSaint is a Nagios status viewer. It grabs the status from a Nagios server and displays it in a fullscreen GUI.CoffeeSaint is written in Java so it should run on all platforms (tested on Linux and Windows XP).CoffeeSaint works with Nagios versions 1, 2 and 3.How to use itInvokingStatus from a fileThis way is used if you can reach the nagios status-file (look for 'status_file' in the Nagios configuration-file nagios.cfg) via either NFS or the local filesystem.You might need to replace '/var/cache/nagios3/status.dat': see the file configured in nagios.cfg with the status_file-statement.java -jar CoffeeSaint.jar --file /var/cache/nagios3/status.dat --interval 30 --image http://198.92.142.133/jpg/image.jpg --version 3 --nrows 10Status via an URLFor this you need to make the Nagios status-file available via a webserver. E.g. ln -s /var/cache/nagios3/status.dat /var/www/htdocs.java -jar CoffeeSaint.jar --url http://keetweej.vanheusden.com/status.dat --interval 30 --image http://www.xs4all.nl/~gemgouda/stadhuis.jpg --nrows 12Status via a network connectionjava -jar CoffeeSaint.jar --host keetweej.vanheusden.com --port 33333 --interval 30 --image http://pwa.sonologic.nl/cam/dvcam.jpg?ts=224937 --nrows 12Replace 'keetweej.vanheusden.com' with the host-address of your Nagios server, same thing for '33333'. Interval is in seconds. '--image' selects one or more webcams to view in the background (can be omitted to get a green/gray (depends on state) background). '--version' selects the Nagios version; this can be either 1, 2 or 3. '--nrows 10' will make the program show at must 9 statusses.Invoke with '--help' to see a complete list of options.Configuring your Nagios server (for status via a network connection)Add the following line to /etc/inetd.conf:33333 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /bin/cat /var/cache/nagios3/status.datYou might need to replace '/var/cache/nagios3/status.dat': see the file configured in nagios.cfg with the status_file-statement.Then, restart inetd (on Debian that can be accomplished with: /etc/init.d/openbsd-inetd restart).This configures inetd to serve the Nagios status on port 33333.When the program is loading the current status, a blue block is displayed in the upper-right corner. If there was a problem loading the status, a red block will appear.The values in the row at the top tell you the number of critical-, warning-, ok-, up-, down-, unreachable- and pending- statusses. Here are some key features of "CoffeeSaint": · Can prioritize configurable hosts/services (using a file with regular expression patterns). · Can display an image on the background (this can be an URL so you can display webcam images as well) · Handles all Nagios versions · Can retrieve remotely Nagios statuses · Can play a sound if the status goes to error · Written in Java so should run on all systems (linux, microsoft windows, apple mac) · Font/font size/background color/number of rows displayed are configurable · Configurable via build-in webserver Requirements: · Java 2 Standard Edition Runtime Environment · Nagios What's New in This Release: · Sparklines: show meta data when zooming in, new fullscreen mode which spans multiple physical screens, splitted scrolling mode: e.g. only scroll the plugin-output part, counter can be positioned anywhere on the screen.
