Xeriom Alert Service

We're building a service which will let you run checks on your host and alert you in various ways if certain conditions (specified by you) are met.

Availability alerts

To get availability alerts (ie "your host is down / up") you'll have to allow monitor.xeriom.net to ping your host.

sudo iptables -I INPUT 4 -p icmp --icmp-type 8 -s monitor.xeriom.net -j ACCEPT

After that give us a yell on support@xeriom.net and ask for these notifications to be sent to you.

Backup alerts

If you're using the XeriomBackupService you'll automatically get alerts about your backups when using the alerts service.

Custom Alerts

While the standard alerts service (above) works fine, the below is an extension to that service and is still in it's infancy. If you'd be interested in helping us test it, please give us a yell on support@xeriom.net.

Install NRPE, define some commands, and get in touch with us.

sudo apt-get install nagios-nrpe-server
sudo nano -w /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg

Add 193.219.108.245 to the allowed_hosts.

If firewalled, allow port 5666 from the same IP address.

# Change the insert offset to match your firewall configuration.
sudo iptables -I INPUT 4 -p tcp --dport 5666 -s 193.219.108.245 -j ACCEPT

Restart NRPEd

sudo /etc/init.d/nagios-nrpe-server restart

Once you've done this, define some checks in your NRPE config and tell us what you'd like to be checked and who to alert. We can't promise it'll be great; this is just a test.
