Errors trying to set up passive checks using NCPA and NRDP

I'm working on configuring passive checks using Nagios XI and NRDP. NRDP seems to be working okay because I'm able using the NRDP API and receive unconfigured objects from it. However, on a remote windows server with NCPA installed, I'm getting errors in the ncpa_passive.log. I've included a snippet...

C:/ disk total reporting different than the actual total

Hello, This is the first I've run into a scenario where the total C:/ disk amount is reporting something different from the ncpa api than what the actual total C:/ disk amount is. Any ideas on why this is the case and how to be sure the agent reports the correct total? Actual: actual_c_drive_capacit...

State Change is not appearing in State History Log

Hello, we had a occurrence recently where we saw the state changed (OK to Warning) for a service but it can't be found anywhere in the state history log. In fact no state history changes appeared for anything being monitored on that day. Any ideas on why this may have occurred? As of today, state hi...

Re: NCPA Socket Timeouts

Okay thanks, I will send that over in a PM. In the meantime, I think there has been some resolution. We found there were a few hung file system mounts. Those got cleared and the monitoring started working again. Is there anything that could help explain that? Is the NCPA dependent on being able to a...

Re: NCPA Socket Timeouts

-D was an invalid option and -v only returned "CRITICAL - Socket timeout". I instead tried this: curl -k "https://<ip address>:5693/testconnect/?token=<token>" -v. A successful return looks like this: [root@<nagios xi host> ~]# curl -k "https://<remote host>:5693/testconnect...

Re: NCPA Socket Timeouts

Thanks for those steps! So what is the difference in stability or success of reaching the agent by adding the plugin to the remote host (plugins/check_http) vs checking the remote host agent api (https://<remote host name>:5693/api/?token=<token>)? I ask because we are seeing a couple scenarios wher...

NCPA Socket Timeouts

Hello, I'm looking for some additional troubleshooting steps around not being able to reach the NCPA agent primarily on linux devices. Here is the command and response: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_http -H <remote host name> -s "Success" -f ok -u '/testconnect/?token=<token>' -S --sni -...

Re: Customize the email notification "send from" for Contact

Adding -r '<email>' to the notify commands worked like a charm!

This thread can be closed. Thanks!

Customize the email notification "send from" for Contacts

Why when an email notification is sent to a contact without an associated user it doesn't use the Outbound Send From email setting in the Admin > System Config settings? These notifications sent to contacts always come from a name with a nagios@<nagios xi host name> and not from the defined Send Fro...
