Re: upgrade to latest from old version 5.10

When restoring nagios it has to be done to the same version that was backed up. Don't quote me but I think you may want to look into what the oldest nagios version is supported by your oracle 9. If 5.10 is supported there's no need for the following step. If needed upgrade the nagios to that version...

Re: Monitoring Cisco Switch with SNMP

You can use check_snmp to check most anything in the switch, but you need to figure out which OIDs to use. You can search nagios exchange for plugins. You should use traps sent from the switch to create alerts as well. For this you need to install Cisco MIBs.

Re: NCPA to monitor files on client server

It looks like check_files is part of nsclient as suggested, but should still work with ncpa. Ncpa just needs to be set up to use it.

Re: Warning - hard - does not appear on dashboard

I'll guess you mean the color of the service. Nagios sets the color based on the value returned by a check. Hard/soft, and max checks make no difference. Chances are your check return value (object state) isn't what you think. Also, the text of a check makes no difference. A check can say it's criti...

Re: Service Check Notifications w/ Multiple Teams

The OP means they have the same services running on multiple hosts and the hosts are owned by different groups. Group 1 shouldn't get notifications for group 2 service alerts.

Re: Upgrading NagiosXI - mod-gearman not found

nagios-mod-gearman needs to be in one of the repos so it's available to be installed. repos.nagios.com listed above might be the one.

Re: Flooding Alert history

As far as I know a passive check shouldn't have check or retry intervals. Since the check appears to be running it looks like check_dummy isn't being found. I'd run the check manually from the nagios web page to test. Also set the intervals correctly. I'd get rid of the template and just have the se...

Re: NCPA to monitor files on client server

The simplest solution is to copy the original plugin used that was working to the windows servers and set up ncpa to use it.
