When a service definition uses a Template - this is not obvious from first glance at the Service definition on the NagiosXI GUI - you have to click "Manage Templates" to find out if a service is actively using a template. My suggestion is to make ALL referenced active templates for a servi...

Currently NagiosXI does not allow '-' prefixed arguments in ARG lists in service definitions. This makes support for useful plugins like 'check_multi' difficult - where every variable definition passed on the command line to check multi must be prefixed by '-s' eg. in a service definition that calls...

Currently the 'SCHEDULE_SVC_DOWNTIME' NRPD call does not return a 'schedule downtime ID' which is needed later on to remove that schedule downtime when created via a NRPD call - this is because the Schedule Downtime ID's are assigned in an asynchronous manner and are not known at the time the API re...

No what you have suggested wont work. Each check_multi variable definition must be a standalone argument with "-s VAR=VALUE" you cant have "-s VAR1=VALUE1 VAR2=VALUE2" where in the latter example would be the equivalent of $ARG2$ expanded from "VAR1=VALUE1 VAR2=VALUE2"....

Is there a setting where I can increase the ARG count for services beyond ARG8? I am running a check_multi NRPE script which takes many arguments which consist of "var=value" assignments which are passed into the check_multi script - I need it increased to at least $ARG10 or $ARG12 Thanks

Hi Team,

Just an update, it appears we had an issue with the nagiosxi (ndo side) of the database. Some truncating resolved the issue of the process taking 15+ minutes to startup.

Apologies for any time wasted.

Correct the DB VIP is within /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg; db_servertype=mysql db_host=DB-VIP db_port=3306 db_name=nagiosxi db_prefix=nagios_ db_user=nagios_ndo2db db_pass=***** The hostname behind the VIP has to be manually entered into the nagiosXI configuration instead of using the VIP due to...

Sure, see below; user@host html]# mysql -h DB-VIP -u nagios_ndo2db -p nagiosxi Enter password: Reading table information for completion of table and column names You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connect...

Hi Team, We are running our Databases in a clustered setup with a VIP. Unfortunately when we try to specify the clusterable hostname for the ndoutils database Nagios does not come back up properly. However long we wait we have the 3 green & 3 blue information buttons whilst it tries to start up....

Thanks for the response. The example I have shown is pretty normal, but at one point we hit 151 connections which ended up being the connection limit on the server at the time. I will keep an eye on the connection pool and see how it progresses and raise the issue further should we see it happen aga...
