TUE

CMDB+Shinken: Open-Source Monitoring
Ben Adams,
Room : Starvine 6 and 7
Subject : CMDB
Breakout : Sys Admin

Kimberly-Clark has built upon their investment in a comprehensive CMDB by using it to direct the actions of Shinken, a fork of the open-source monitoring engine Nagios, and in this session, you'll get a glimpse behind the scenes.

By adding a few new tables to their instance and some business rules to tie them together, Kimberly-Clark has been able to create a new application that functions as a configuration front-end for Shinken. In this session, you'll hear about how Perl scripts on the internal Shinken server download relevant server and monitoring data via the efficient XML web service interface, while other scripts upload resultant alerts back to ServiceNow through the SOAP API to create incidents.
