Re: [API] Possible to add multiple contacts when creating a service?

The API reference documentation at /nagiosxi/help/ uses query parameters as its examples. While it doesn't document how to go about adding multiple contacts to a host in this way, I'd try using some of the examples from /nagiosxi/help/api-common-solutions.php as guides, and using something like &...

Re: Nagios DB issue after nagiosxi upgrade

In addition, if you're going to be changing mysql/mariadb configuration regarding indexes, you wouldn't be remiss in backing up the mysql database with mysqldump: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/using-mysqldump.html or mariadbdump: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mysqldump/ as appropriate to your ...

Re: Monitoring Engine won't start after offline upgrade to 2024R1.1

Re: Nagios XI 5.9.1 convert DB and switch Distro

I'd recommend at least going to a 5.10 release of Nagios XI, and preferably something newer than that. We have a guide for it here:

Re: Every few days all our systems stop sending logs

Incidentally, I've opened up an internal issue to automatically create an alert for host freshness, instead of leaving it blank. I can't promise that we'll ever do anything about it but its there.

Re: Every few days all our systems stop sending logs

Yeah that seems like a big problem with Logstash, and even though Elasticsearch is the big memory user, it does make me wonder if Logstash isn't running out of memory to use somehow.

In my experience logstash was pretty reliable BTW.
Yes, it is generally quite reliable. The big question largely across the board with the ELK stack is system RAM.
