actually i`m building a complete infrastructure from scratch; 3 * ibm 3650m3 => 2 * vmware esxi, 1 * debian stable as nfs storage, ghettoVCB to nfs, icinga monitoring for all devices, high security segmented network design, vlan trunken switching, ibm lto5 sas drive with baclua, postix/amavisd-new/postgrey/sa mta, exchange 2010 + 2k8 ad, svn / jenkins developing machine, juniper srx220h firewall and a mag2600 as vpn-ssl solution and some other stuff … day 7 …

 


monitoring vsphere 4.1 with icinga / pnp4nagios

Posted: December 1st, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: debian, ibm, infrastructure, it, linux, networking, virtualization | Tags: , , , , , | No Comments »

the first time i build a icinga monitoring for a vsphere environment. before i configured only checks for esxi machines directly. love the check_esx3.pl module from op5.com. some pics from pnp4nagios:

got the system running on a debian squeeze, all packages from the main,nonfree,controb repositories. pnp4nagios is backported. so all packages are covered with security updates and the normal apt super cow power !


openldap logs

Posted: September 15th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: debian, it, linux | Tags: , | No Comments »

to have a separate logfile for openldap add to /etc/rsyslog.conf:
local4.* /var/log/openldap.log
touch /var/log/openldap.log
/etc/init.d/rsyslog restart

to have the logfile in the logrotation add a config file to /etc/logrotate.d/ :

/var/log/openldap.log
{
rotate 7
daily
missingok
notifempty
delaycompress
compress
postrotate
invoke-rc.d rsyslog reload > /dev/null
endscript
}

to change the loglevel edit /etc/ldap/slapd.d/cn\=config.ldif :

olcLogLevel: 256

juniper <-> openswan ipsec with multiple subnets again

Posted: July 13th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: debian, it, juniper, linux, networking | Tags: , , , , | No Comments »

did the upgrade to screenos 6.3r8 – now i got the option to add multiple proxy id`s for the different subnets. everything working fine. also the ipsec dialup setup with multiple subnets via routing based vpn works.

multiple vpn tunnels juniper <> openswan linux ipsec

Posted: July 3rd, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: debian, it, juniper, linux, networking | Tags: , , , , | No Comments »

a singel tunnel makes no problems at all. (see http://metrox.org/2011/02/24/openswan-ipsec-juniper-screenos-ipsec/) yesterday i spent hours to get multiple ipsec tunnels working for different subnets. (lan to lan) in a “route based vpn” setup there are some routing issues with different subnets … also with nhtb. after switching to a “policy based vpn” setup on juniper side it seems to work now. need to update some boxes to 6.3 : http://kb.juniper.net/InfoCenter/index?page=content&id=KB16008&actp=search&searchid=1273847680110


icinga

Posted: June 21st, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: cisco, debian, ibm, infrastructure, it, juniper, linux, networking | Tags: , , , , , , , , | No Comments »

building a large scaled monitoring system for a customer with icinga 1.4.0 + pnp4nagios 0.6 (bulk mode with npcd), db logging. it will monitor very different stuff …. from servers to network, from esx(i) to linux machines, from firewalls to printers … good to see that all the needed software comes from the debian stable repositories (non-free). once again debian FTW !

today i upgraded my workstation to debian testing aka wheezy with kernel 2.6.38-2-amd64. some problems with the mysql-server-5.1 and with vmware workstation 7.1.4 but overall ok. ( vmware patch : http://www.linuxinsight.com/vmware-workstation-7.1.3-runs-great-on-linux-kernel-2.6.37.html )
