Lync 2013

Prerequisites​

Centreon Plugin​

Install this plugin on each needed poller:

yum install centreon-plugin-Applications-Lync-2013-Mssql

Username​

The username string should not be longer than 32 chararacters. Username must be in the following form: [Servername|Domainname] In order for the plugin to operate correctly, a database user with specific privileges is required. The most simple way is to assign the Nagios-user the role “serveradmin”. As an alternative you can use the sa-User for the database connection. Alas, this opens a serious security hole, as the (cleartext) administrator password can be found in the nagios configuration files Birk Bohne wrote the following script which allows the automated creation of a minimal, yet sufficient privileged monitoring-user.

declare @dbname varchar(255)
declare @check_mssql_health_USER varchar(255)
declare @check_mssql_health_PASS varchar(255)
declare @check_mssql_health_ROLE varchar(255)
declare @source varchar(255)
declare @options varchar(255)
declare @backslash int

/*******************************************************************/
SET @check_mssql_health_USER = '"[Servername|Domainname]\Username"'
SET @check_mssql_health_PASS = 'Password'
SET @check_mssql_health_ROLE = 'Rolename'
/******************************************************************

PLEASE CHANGE THE ABOVE VALUES ACCORDING TO YOUR REQUIREMENTS

- Example for Windows authentication:
SET @check_mssql_health_USER = '"[Servername|Domainname]\Username"'
SET @check_mssql_health_ROLE = 'Rolename'

- Example for SQL Server authentication:
SET @check_mssql_health_USER = 'Username'
SET @check_mssql_health_PASS = 'Password'
SET @check_mssql_health_ROLE = 'Rolename'

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is strongly recommended to use Windows authentication. Otherwise
you will get no reliable results for database usage.

*********** NO NEED TO CHANGE ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE *************/

SET @options = 'DEFAULT_DATABASE=MASTER, DEFAULT_LANGUAGE=English'
SET @backslash = (SELECT CHARINDEX('\', @check_mssql_health_USER))

BEGIN

EXEC ('USE [' + @dbname + '] print ''Permissions in the db '' + ''"'' + DB_NAME() + ''" granted.''')
fetch next from dblist into @dbname
end
close dblist
deallocate dblist

Please keep in mind that check_mssql_health’s functionality is limited when using SQL Server authentication. This method is strongly discouraged . Normally there is already a Nagios-(Windows-)-user which can be used for the Windows authentication method.

RPM​

In order to use this template, the following RPM are needed:

  • freetds-0.82-6.el6.$ARCH
  • perl-DBD-Sybase-1.10-1.el6.rf.$ARCH
  • unixODBC-2.2.14-14.el6.$ARCH
  • unixODBC-devel-2.2.14-14.el6.$ARCH

Configuration of freetds.conf file​

The /etc/freetds.conf file have to be modified in order to encrypt the password. To do that :

vi /etc/freetds.conf

Modify line tds 'version = 4.2' to 'tds version = 8.0'. Then remove comment symbol at the beginning of this line.

Centreon Configuration​

Create a new Lync MSSQL instance​

Go to "Configuration > Hosts" and click "Add". Then, fill the form as shown by the following table :

FieldValue
Host nameName of the host
AliasHost description
IPHost IP Address
Monitored fromMonitoring Poller to use
Host Multiple TemplatesApp-Lync-2013-MSSQL-custom

Click "Save" button.

Host Macro Configuration​

The following macros must be configured on host:

MacroDescriptionDefault value
MSSQLUSERNAMEMSSQL username
MSSQLPASSWORDMSSQL password
MSSQLPORTPort Of the MSSQL instance (need to check in the SQL Studio if dynamic)
