Is there a way to download the Documentation Guides from Nagios for an offline installation and then edit the html to point to the local copy?

@jsimon Thanks!! I've not done anything in core as, when I inherited this system, core doesn't work - at least the web UI doesn't. It shows "It appears you do not have permission to view information for any of the hosts you requested." I did some simple permission checks on the files/paths...

It has to "exist" as it's being implemented by XI/core so if it "knows" then there should be a way to query it - no? At a minimum, is there a document that shows what the hierarchy is? So is the lowest level the winner? (i.e. host/service level settings over templates) What about...

Given the inheritance nature of XI - which is nice - how do you determine the effective configuration for a given host and/or service? I'm trying to tune my alert settings but they aren't changing as I expect them to. I suspect that some settings are being overridden by an inherited configuration/te...

What are the values that will be different for ARG1/2? If it's something you could do a quick bash script for you can create the files in the /usr/local/nagios/etc/import directory and then use the import function of the config to pull them in. Is there a way to create a single service and then just...

Or even if you want you could run it on the timestamp of the directory, since rsync is pretty smart and will only update individual files if there is a diff, and that way you don't have to loop through every plugin in the directory. That's where my mind was originally going but that doesn't work fo...

I didn't want to make a blanket rsync/scp that basically ran every time the host was checked though. That's a waste of time and network bandwidth. I had found https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/file-and-folder-checks-783.html#file_folder_exists and was trying to find a way to leverage that using ...

I appreciate the replies and to simplify things, I took one of the services and made a separate check and hooked the event script to that. So I have a simple service check: check_xi_ncpa!--timeout=45 --token=a really good token --port=5693 --metric='services' --qqueryargs='service=svcname,status=run...

Hey AngeloMileto Unfortunately I don't believe XI has a way to do this without any modification. I'll dive into it a bit more but what comes to mind initially is that you would probably need to make a script to distribute the plugins to the hosts NCPA is reaching out to. This is a little out of my ...

I found a guide on how to restart a service via an event handler (https://answerhub.nagios.com/support/s/article/Restarting-Windows-Services-with-NCPA-f4a44019) but the problem is that we already have a service check that is monitoring 5 critical services at once. So rather than having 5 different s...
