NagStamon – Nagios status monitor for KDE GNOME
Posted by admin on June 22nd, 2009
Install Nagstamon in openSUSE
Before installing Nagstamon, the “python-lxml” package needs to be installed for Nagstamon to work. Install python-lxml as follows:
opensuse:~ # yast2 -i python-lxml
Now, download Nagstamon installation RPM package from here and install as follows:
opensuse:~ # yast2 -i nagstamon-0.7.1-2.noarch.rpm
This should install Nagstamon under “Applications – Internet – More Programs”.
Click to launch Nagstamon, enter the Nagios server information like the URL to access, the CGI path, user account details and then customize the view like to have a floating status bar on the desktop or a systray icon etc. Once done, you should see the nagios monitoring at a click of a button.

On Debian, you need to install at least these packages:
shell$ sudo aptitude install python-setuptools python2.5 python-gnome2-extras python-lxml
I would imagine some of these or similar packages are needed on SuSE also, especially since you have KDE4′s menu, you’d need the GNOME packages.
However, I still cannot get the app to run:
shell$ nagstamon
No module named Nagstamon

Replying to myself here, the fix for Debian Sid is to install the package, ‘librsvg2-common’.
I’ve written up a quick HowTo for Debian Sid on my blog at http://gnuski.blogspot.com/2009/08/nagstamon-nagios-status-monitor-on.html

yast2 -i python-lxml is deprecated, one should use “zypper in python-lxml” instead. And the second package is installed better with “rpm -ivh nagstamon-0.8.2-2.noarch.rpm” (depending on the version, of course). The rason for that is that since SUSE 10.1 zypper is the software in the middle, so to install a package from a known repository you should use zypper, and fro packages lying around on the disk, rpm -i was always the best choice
