Nagios Support Forum

Hello everyone, We use BigFix for our Windows patching and we have to put all of those servers in downtime during that patching window. Is there a way to automate that? We use Ansible for our Red Hat servers, and that works fine. But we have the directive to use BigFix for Windows so we can't do that.

Thanks, I'll download that and give that a try.

I can run some command line checks. Run from /usr/local/nagios/libexec

XI did show that the email was sent, and I could manually send emails from the XI server to my email (command line). This is fixed now however. The snmp demon had some issues and after resolving that, mail sent.

Hello everyone,

As of Friday my XI server (2024R2, Red Hat 8.10) started to stop sending alert emails. I can send emails from the server using SMTP with no issues as the nagios user so I don't think it that. And using the GUI I can send test emails.

Anyone ever see this? Any help is appreciated!

When I run it via the command line, it works. /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_vsphere_xi.py -H <hostname> -u <user> -p <password> - nagios -L -v 2495859.39 MB 8795824.59 MB (28.38%) 1234233.72 MB 8795824.59 MB (14.03%) 1127666.94 MB 8795824.59 MB (12.82%) But using the wizard in the GUI, I get an er...

Hello all, I'm in the process of changing the local password for the nagios account. When I do that on Red Hat 8/9, there are no issues. But when I do that on Red Hat 7, I get "UNKNOWN: An error occurred connecting to API. (Connection error: '[Errno 113] No route to host')". I tried restar...

Thanks, I'll check that again and report back.

Using the Config Wizard for vsphere, I get to the 2nd step Monitor Metrics, and I choose the Datastores tab.

All I see there is Datastores Selection
Specify which datastores you'd like to monitor on the VMware host (server).
