Re: LDAP authentication

For my organization, it should be fairly straightforward ... we use Quest's Authentication Service (formerly Vintella's Authentication Service) to provide a single-sign-on structure for our enterprise. This allows the Linux servers to authenticate user/group policies off the AD tree, as well as othe...

Re: LDAP authentication

I'm in the evaluation stage of Nagios XI in my organization (roughly 1600 people, 1300 servers, ~800 TB storage), and I can also say that LDAP authentication is critical to my organization. The lack of LDAP integration is a serious detriment in our evaluation, to be honest. The LDAP server that we u...

Update check failure

I have two evaluation systems setup in my work environment. One running as a VM on a VMware ESX cluster, and the other is a physical install (on an HP BL460c G1 w/ 2 x X5470 CPUs and 32GB RAM) that I've manually built on Centos 5.4. Neither of the two test servers is able to perform a successful upd...

Re: Nagios XI, Trial Manual Install

Ah ... actually, I should have mentioned I did import DAG as well, but things like php-mcrypt aren't in DAG. They're part of the Centos repos, but not the RHEL repos. I was clued into the DOS formatted file problems on RHEL when I ran the 0-yum script, which then broke yum. After a few minutes of in...

Re: Nagios XI, Trial Manual Install

Do you have a recommendation on a standalone platform? RHEL5.5 ended up being a cumbersome install, due to missing deps (php-mcrypt, php-mhash, and so forth, are not included in the base repos), so I've downloaded CentOS 5.4 to see how the install procedure works on that distro (given that the VM is...

Re: Nagios XI, Trial Manual Install

There are apparently a lot of dos formatted files in the installation package (don't the devs use Linux?!). As an example: [root@bob xi]# ./B-installxi Creating product directory... Adding password for user nagiosadmin -bash: /tmp/xi/nagiosxi/create_postgres_db.sh: /bin/sh^M: bad interpreter: No suc...

Re: MSSQL Service Checks

PHP? All you should need is one of these: yum provides perl"(DBD::Sybase)" and this http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Databases/SQLServer/check_mssql_health/details As a side note ... the 1-prereqs script for the manual installation uses the same syntax as the command above for...

Roadmap?

Is there a roadmap of features/fixes for future Nagios XI releases?

Of particular interest are NagVis and SNMPTrap integration.

Re: High Availability with Nagios XI?

I would assume it would be slightly more complicated, given the databases and extra configuration items involved. I've used Nagios core for a long time, but never with NDOutils, PNP4 and nagiosQL.
