ui_msg "\n *** To complete the Argus install ***

1) Modify the httpd.conf for Argus
----------------------------------------------
-Uncomment the line:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi

-Add a directive for the Argus data directory

ScriptAlias /argus \"${argus_htdocs}/cgi-bin/arguscgi\"

Allow from all
Options ExecCGI



2) Setup postfix so Argus can send mail via the command-line
----------------------------------------------
cd ${prefix}/etc/postfix
sudo cp master.cf.sample master.cf
sudo cp main.cf.sample main.cf
sudo cp aliases.sample aliases

Redirect OS X's sendmail executable to the one from MacPorts.
sudo mv /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail.old
sudo ln -s ${prefix}/sbin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail

Startup postfix and set it to run at sytem boot.
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.postfix.plist

Test postfix by sending a test email from a terminal window.
mail joe mycompany.com

NOTE: Make sure the SMTP server of the receiving domain will relay
mail from your Argus workstation.


2) Setup the Argus config files
----------------------------------------------
-Remove the suffix \".example\" from the files config and user in
${argus_data_dir} and customize them. Also see ${prefix}/share/${name}/examples.


3) Make the Argus files owned by the Apache user/group (default is \"www\")
----------------------------------------------
-Execute this terminal command:
sudo chown -R : ${prefix}/share/${name}/
sudo chown -R : ${argus_data_dir}/


4) Rename config.example and user.example to config and user and customize them.
----------------------------------------------
For full config file information, see the developer documentation at
http://argus.tcp4me.com/docs.html. But in a nutshell, it goes like this ....

-The Argus config file is hierarchical; parameters that can be specified at
an upper level are inherited by objects below when not explicitly specified.

So you may use service groups:

Group \"WebServers\" {
frequency: 5min
retries: 5
retrydelay: 10min
notify: mail:netadmins mycompany.com

Host \"webserver.mycompany.com\" {
Service TCP/HTTP
Service TCP/HTTPS
Service Ping
}

Host \"webmail.mycompany.com\" {
Service TCP/HTTP
Service TCP/HTTPS
Service TCP/POP
Service TCP/POPS
Service TCP/IMAP
Service TCP/IMAPS
Service TCP/SMTP
Service TCP/SMTPS
Service Ping
Service UDP {
port: 501
}

}

Host \"dns1.mycompany.com\" {
Service UDP/DNS

}
}

-Or you may use the \"shorthand\" notation and fully specify the characteristics
of individual hosts completely.

Host \"www.example.com\" {
Service TCP/HTTP
Service TCP/HTTPS
Service Ping
Service TCP {
port: 12345
info: YoyoDyne Application Server
}
}

NOTE: Unlike C or Perl, you cannot place the opening \{ on a different line,
and the closing \} must be on a line by itself (with optional whitespace).

-Rename config.example to config and customize it with your login passwords.


5) Start argusd.
----------------------------------------------

-Start argusd in the foreground to test it:
sudo argusd -fd (foreground & debug)

-When you have argusd starting without errors, shutdown the foreground
processs using argusctl (or Control-C) and use launchctl to start argusd
in the background and set it to run at boot:

argusctl shutdown
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.argusd.plist

-NOTE: Config file changes are detected automatically by Argus within a few minutes,
but the impatient may use argusctl:

argusctl hup


5) Login to the Argus web interface to monitor your services.
----------------------------------------------
Login at http://localhost/argus

If you haven't already installed Darwin Ports, you can find easy instructions for doing so at the main Darwin Ports page.
Once Darwin Ports has been installed, in a terminal window and while online, type the following and hit return:

%  cd /opt/local/bin/portslocation/dports/argus-monitor
%  sudo port install argus-monitor  
Password: 

You will then be prompted for your root password, which you should enter. You may have to wait for a few minutes while the software is retrieved from the network and installed for you. Y ou should see something that looks similar to:

--->  Fetching argus-monitor
--->  Verifying checksum for argus-monitor
--->  Extracting argus-monitor
--->  Configuring argus-monitor
--->  Building argus-monitor with target all

--->  Staging argus-monitor into destroot

--->  Installing argus-monitor

- Make sure that you do not close the terminal window while Darwin Ports is working. Once the software has been installed, you can find further information about using argus-monitor with these commands:

%  man argus-monitor
%  apropos argus-monitor
%  which argus-monitor
%  locate argus-monitor
