Presentation of the Shinken project

===================================



Welcome to the Shinken project.

  :target: https://travis-ci.org/naparuba/shinken



Shinken is a modern, Nagios compatible monitoring framework, written in

Python. Its main goal is to give users a flexible architecture for

their monitoring system that is designed to scale to large environments.



Shinken is backwards-compatible with the Nagios configuration standard

and plugins. It works on any operating system and architecture that

supports Python, which includes Windows, GNU/Linux and FreeBSD.



Requirements

============



See the `Documentation`__ 



__ https://shinken.readthedocs.org/en/latest/02_gettingstarted/installations/shinken-installation.html#requirements



There are mandatory and conditional requirements for the installation

methods which are described below.



Installing Shinken

==================



See the `Documentation`__ 



__ https://shinken.readthedocs.org/en/latest/02_gettingstarted/installations/shinken-installation.html



Update

------



Launch:



  python setup.py install --update



It will only update the shinken lib and scripts, but won't touch your current configuration



Running

-------



Shinken is installed with `init.d` scripts, enables them at boot time and starts them right after the install process ends. Based on your linux distro you only need to do:



  chkconfig --add shinken

  chkconfig shinken on



or :



  update-rc.d shinken defaults 20



Where is the configuration?

===========================



The configuration is on the directory, `/etc/shinken`.



Where are the logs?

===================



Logs are in /var/log/shinken

(what did you expect?)



I got a bug, how to launch the daemons in debug mode?

=====================================================



You only need to launch:



  /etc/init.d/shinken -d start



Debug logs will be based on the log directory (/var/log/shinken)



I switched from Nagios, do I need to change my existing Nagios configuration?

=============================================================================



No, there is no need to change the existing configuration - unless

you want to add some new hosts and services. Once you are comfortable

with Shinken you can start to use its unique and powerful features.

If you find a bug

================================



Bugs are tracked in the `issue list on GitHub`__ . Always search for existing issues before filing a new one (use the search field at the top of the page).

When filing a new bug, please remember to include:



*	A helpful title - use descriptive keywords in the title and body so others can find your bug (avoiding duplicates).

*	Steps to reproduce the problem, with actual vs. expected results

*	Shinken version (or if you're pulling directly from the Git repo, your current commit SHA - use git rev-parse HEAD)

*	OS version

*	If the problem happens with specific code, link to test files (`gist.github.com`__  is a great place to upload code).

*	Screenshots are very helpful if you're seeing an error message or a UI display problem. (Just drag an image into the issue description field to include it).
