Nagios Support Forum

I forgot that CCM comes with the two intermediate levels, as tmcdonald wrote: To be clear, are you using something like the Student Core or Pro Core versions with the CCM? So to further help you, we'd need to know if you're running Student Core, Pro Core, or Nagios XI. I'm using Pro Core. Thanks!

What's a faster way to add 200 more hosts than one at a time via CCM? CCM is Nagios XI, not Nagios Core, so you're in the wrong topic. But that's not my problem. :-) My suggestion is to write a script that creates a valid Nagios hosts.cfg file, and then you can dump that into /usr/local/nagios/etc/...

The only bulk wizard I've been able to find is for the XI http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... rd/details

Is there one for Nagio Core?

Thanks!

Using CCM I've now got a bunch of xxx.cfg files. It's a pain to create these one at a time via the CCM web interface so I tried to copy some and give them an edit. CCM deleted them after not adding them. I'm missing something pretty important in this process. Does CCM take these files and write them...

It looks like V-Shell is separate from Core, which makes me wonder what it's purpose is? I...

Anyone have a basic explanation of how one would install a plugin?

Thanks

I suspect if I could write plugins to scrape websites for Nagios I wouldn't be posting simple questions on this forum.

Does anyone now how to monitor the overall watts used by a switch and by port?

Thanks

Is this how most people configure Nagios, one host at a time? Or are there add-ons that can be used?

Or are you saying that Nagios Core is limited and other Nagios versions are not?

I've got Nagios up and running monitoring a few hosts, but it's rather apparent that adding the 200+ hosts I'd like to monitor one at a time is not very productive. I must assume that this has been solved many times and that Nagios even has a discovery tool perhaps? Please don't tell me everyone wri...
