Usefull ...

by KikO

When you work with a Travelmate 290 ... and the last thing you want is to download and install a "just another silly application for a couple of minutes".

Found this website today when browsing trough another blog.
It's an online website that converts files into other formats, and, for free!


The other website i found, and i think it can help you out to work better is the http://www.keyxl.com

It's an online keyboard shortcut database. Yes, keyboard shortcuts.
Like CTRL+C to copy, CTRL-V to paste, and another application shortcuts.
Browse it and enjoy!

Cheers! :)

CentOS + Nagios + Centreon [All about it]

Tuesday, May 26, 2009 by KikO

Well, i'm creating this post because i think that "too much information" is never too much!

Recently, i was forced to stop using Zabbix, a powerfull monitoring tool, perfect, till the day the host machine died. Time to move on and get better, Centreon, better or not, different and i want to test it.
So, read a couple of things and tried to install it!
Many problems ... ndoutils bugs after bugs, ndo2db missconfiguration, probably my fault, i was using a old CentOS distro and already used with some Oracle aplication server.
Decided to get a new, fresh instalation of CentOS latest release.

Install went ok, no PEAR traps or RRDs.pm traps, nothing! 100% ok!
But, when browsing into the centreon webinterface i notice that there was no graphs, no nothing, just the menu, the header and the footer! GREAT!

Went to support, forums, google ... and found out that the problem was related to the PEAR modules ... these to be exactly :

DB_DataObject
DB_DataObject_FormBuilder
MDB2
Numbers_Roman
Numbers_Words
HTML_Common
HTML_QuickForm
HTML_QuickForm_advmultiselect
HTML_Table
Auth_SASL
HTTP
Image_Canvas
Image_Color Image_Graph
Image_GraphViz
Net_Traceroute
Net_Ping
Validate
XML_RPC

solution ?

pear install -o -f --alldeps DB_DataObject DB_DataObject_FormBuilder MDB2 Numbers_Roman Numbers_Words HTML_Common HTML_QuickForm HTML_QuickForm_advmultiselect HTML_Table Auth_SASL HTTP Image_Canvas Image_Color Image_Graph Image_GraphViz Net_Traceroute Net_Ping Validate XML_RPC

Attention to the -f! It forces pear to install them, without it, you won't be able to view centreon webinterface correctly, believe me!

Well, i'll leave you the links i followed to install Nagios+Centreon on CentOS 5.

Centreon setup process.


When you get to the end of point 5 of the installation process, run the command i wrote so you don't even notice the centreon isn't working well.

After that, enjoy centreon as well as i'm enjoying it so far!

Cheers :)

PS : I promise i'll work on the CSS in the weekend! :)

Thursday, May 21, 2009 by KikO

Welcome to my newest blog!

I'm Ricardo, 23, IT, from Lisboa - Portugal.

This blog it's all about OpenSource projects, non-opensource projects, computers and technologie in general, lattest IT news you know ... geek stuff in the most!

I'll try to keep everybody in touch about the lattest and hottest projects, manuals, how-to's, etc!

Hope to achive my goals with this blog; 
# 1 - Get enough information about open and free applications for everybody.
# 2 - Convert some people to use, help, and develop OpenSource projects.
# 2 - ... get enough readers ...! and of course, contributers.

The company i'm working for almost 4 years, had recently focous their applications needs to the OpenSource ones.
So, the latest i've been working with are these :

- Nagios
- Zabbix
- Centreon
(Yes, i love to have all servers up!)
- JBoss
- MySQL
- CentOS (Linux distribution)
- OpenVZ
- OpenFire
- iJab

Some few to come, but for now i work with this.
If anyone has some feedback to give, or give me better ideas, be my guest, i wont bother if someone uses a better application. I'll only bother if i don't use it too!

Well, time to get back to work!

PS : Hope to get this blog some CSS!

Cheers! :)
