Re: Optimizing Email Alerts in Nagios for Multi-Server Systems

Not sure what you mean exactly. Do you have multiple Nagios instances? Can you give an example of a specific issue? Do you have mukltiple checks for the same services? I have my checks setup almost in a BPI manner that I monitor the actual service itself. e.g. website.com which is comprised of serve...

Nagios Graphing Issue

Had an issue where I wanted to take a number from an F5 snmp poll and convert to Mb/s. I attempted to create a new php file in the /usr/local/nagios/share/pnp/templates/ directory and made sure that permissions and everything else looked good. After troubleshooting for a bit I made simple changes to...

What about SNMP Polling? Check is simple and the BGP MIB is standard across most platforms. Using this methodology on CheckPoint and OPNsense

Nagios API free variables

Is it possible to query or list free variables via the API? I read a post that adding &customvars=1 would list, however I am not seeing them. We are running Nagios XI 5.8.4. I usually just curl then I parse using jq, but I am open if there is a way to search via the API as well.


Thanks!
John

Re: Nagios XI Host and service History are empty/ Graph Ques

This is resolved. I updated to the latest version of Nagios XI. I think my blank service history issue was related to the URL, I was accessing via the shortname instead of the fqdn. Until the update I used to get an error about the URLs not matching. As for gapping, this was an oversight on my part....
