Gopi,
About 2 years ago, some posted a Nagios check that would check to see if a
device that was on Nagios was also on Racktables. I don't recall who posted it
but you might want to search the archives.

check ping
Hello All,
I'm a new user of racktables.
I would like to know, whether I can have any addon in the software, to check
the ping status of the servers configured in racktables, such that if any host
goes down, then racktables will send an email.
From the dev team, I could know that, there is some method to import devices
listed in Racktables to Nagios, so that we can get the Ping, Service status.
Does any one have such scripts now, so that I can put it my RT installation.
Your help is really appreciated,
Gopihere.

The RT software is already overloaded with many different, non-obvious and
insufficiently interconnected features to add a monitoring stuff into it.
To monitor something you need a daemon or at least a cron job, RT does not have
ones. So you'll actually need to develop a standalone application fetching data
from RT, doing periodical probes and storing the results in the racktables DB
to display in from within RT web UI.
This work is much harder than to import object list from RT to Nagios (e.g.),
and modify the UIs of RT and Nagios to add HTML links from one system to
another.
There are users who already made some kind of such interconnection, please ask
them to share out in racktables-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxx .
Keepalived thing has nothing to do with monitoring - it generates configs for
keepalived software daemon to make network services load-balancing.

Hello Alexey,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. Presently I'm using Nagios. But after seeing
Racktables, I got much interested on this. From Nagios, I'm not able to get an
over view of the servers placed in each rack. But from Racktables it is
possible. Hence I thought, if some monitoring (ping, HTTP service) can also be
added via Racktables as some plugin, it would be more useful.
What is this keepalive stuff in Racktables? Do this have any connection with my
objective?
Sorry for this basic doubts. I'm just a beginner in racktables :-)

It is possible, but why not to use the software specially designed to do this
work (Nagios, Zabbix, etc)?
You can write a script to import a list of objects from RackTables into the
monitoring system.
