Thanks for the responses. Using some process sleuthing (compare output of ps -ef before/after triggering the wizard), I determined that it was the MRTG /usr/bin/cfgmaker process that was taking forever to complete, causing the wizard (or at least my HTTP session) to become unresponsive. sh -c /usr/b...

I am running into trouble while attempting to monitor a particular switch. During the scanning phase, the browser hangs and ultimately returns to an error stating "nagiosxi didn’t send any data.". I suspect there is something configured badly on the switch since other switches can be scann...

Returning from a 2 week vacation and I see we have accumulated >300 nsca processes, so it would appear the problem still persists in the newer version of the nsca daemon.

Any chance of a direct download that I could use to patch it now? If not, any ETA one when the next release will be cut?

Attempting to mass schedule downtime using the "Schedule downtime for all hosts in this hostgroup" link available from "View Hostgroup Commands" seems to not be working in Nagios XI 5.2.5: http://nagiosxi/nagiosxi/includes/components/nagioscore/ui/cmd.php?cmd_typ=84&hostgroup...

Add me to the list of customers who would like to see the multi-user feature implemented soon. I recently split our Nagios XI deployment into separate Production and Test instances.
