  • Combined analysis of Apache logs – is this possible in Pandora?

    Posted by warpik on August 6, 2009 at 07:03

    I have 3 Apache logs on one server. I would like to monitor the amount of 200, 404 and 503 HTTP status codes on each server and in total.

    I have attached a PNG with a primitive visualisation of what kind of reporting do I need. (hi res: http://pl.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=nv2v75&s=3)

    Is this kind of combinated, filtered reporting possible with bare Pandora FMS? I am kind of new to Pandora and I don’t see such possibility…

    Hi Warpik.

    I don’t know if I understand you correctly, but I think this is perfectly possible. I have a latency graphic that use this feature (area X stacked area). Try out some reports and customized graphics in pandora FMS.

    Regards,

    But can I join/split what data from a module should go to the report?

    Or should I send each portion of data as a separate module, ie:

    module: amount of HTTP 200 on host1
    module: amount of HTTP 404 on host1
    module: amount of HTTP 503 on host1
    module: amount of HTTP 200 on host2
    module: amount of HTTP 404 on host2
    module: amount of HTTP 503 on host2
    module: amount of HTTP 200 on host3
    module: amount of HTTP 404 on host3
    module: amount of HTTP 503 on host3

    That would mean that each module has to cat | grep through Apache log file again and again.

    Is there some repository of best practices for solving such problems with Pandora or am I restricted to my imagination? (that would be too bad)

    You need to get different data in a different module and later, put together in a graph (custom or combined graphs, defined in the report godmode/administration menu).

    Try the latest version (3.0), currently in development, supports flash interactive graphics, plus static with stacked-wire more, take a look of this graphs in our developers blog at http://blog.pandorafms.org
