Nagios Support Forum

Hey Peter, You're on the right path - at least from what I managed to get working. First, sorry if my explanation of what I did to make it work was confusing but I can't copy/paste any of the configurations and was too lazy to hand-jam all of them ANYWAY, you're on it! The trick that I found is, as ...

Perfect! It would be great if that simple explanation could be added to the Info pop-up for those fields in the web interface.

I'm trying to find - obviously unsuccessfully - what the difference is between the two misc settings of icon image and status image. Where do they show up? I'm guessing the icon image is maybe on the main screen when looking at any list with the host in it? What's the status image for then? Or is th...

Sorry for the confusion but my "Got it" at the beginning was that I figured it out and it was working. I probably should have stated it a lot clearer. I got the custom variables to work and it was, as I thought, just a hierarchy issue as I had put the default 443 in the wrong place and it ...

Got it. I'll use our esxi hosts as an example. Also apologize that I can't get screen shots but the system is not connected to the outside networks so if anyone has any questions, please ask and I'll provide as much as I can to include retyping some of the config files. The host itself has no check ...

I know. I must have something in the wrong place in the hierarchy. The problem is that I can't test it directly from the CCM because, as you pointed out, it doesn't do interpretation of the Macros - which is why I guess it asks for the HostAddress :) I have a few things broke - not in Nagios - that ...

The default port is 80 for HTTP and 443 for HTTPS. I'm not sure why a custom macro/var is needed. Just run the service with an argument with the port. Macros won't be interpreted when you run the service check from CCM. You could define a small number of services each with a different port. You cou...

Along with this, I have another question: If I use $_HOSTHTTP_PORT$ in the parameter for the check, how do I make a default port for any host without a custom variable? In my case, I have 20-30 hosts that I'm checking http/certificates for but only a few that are using something other than 443. So h...

If you know how to create custom plugins, just make a quick powershell script and call that from XI. Unless there is a way to just execute PowerShell directly from XI. Anyway, the PowerShell is simple: (Get-Counter '\Process(*)\% Processor Time').CounterSamples This will get you a list of processes ...

I don't know if it's been asked/answered/reported before - my advanced search turned up nothing recent - and I don't know if it's a bug/feature/whatever so I figured I'd post and ask. I just started reading up on Custom Variables and though Wow! I could use that for my HTTP checks as I wanted to eli...
