Nagios Support Forum

i use SNMP and WMI for 1 reason: I do not want to install any third party client on all my 146 hosts, that also needs to be updated manually. SNMP is a part of windows, and can be activated quickly. and on our linux servers SNMP is already installed by default (OpenSUSE), the service only needs to b...

I have already installed snmp service in host but do I need to make any changes in windows.cfg file. For Example for nsclinet we use the following configuration define service{ use generic-service host_name ERMS8-HP service_description NSClient++ Version check_command check_nt!CLIENTVERSION Do I ne...

I only use SNMP to monitor remote hosts, this is a default service in windows, you just have to enable it google how to enable snmp and you will find a guide for sure..

i found the problem! :) I was actually what i thought, i just had to find it: I looked into the nagios log (<nagios folder>/var/nagios.log) as i was restarting the nagios service and i got the following line: [1354184763] Warning: Could not open object cache file '/usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache...

Well that completely blew that theory out of the water as soon as you posted your cgi.cfg where all users had full permissions. But I don't know what else could cause exactly this issue... A similar issue can be observed in 3.x versions of Nagios when multiple instances of Nagios start (missing hos...

Hmmmmm this all smells a lot like a lack of Nagios privileges... Can you post the authorization section from your cgi.cfg? Are you also able to post the contact, contact-group, host, a single service and host-template if relevant for the DC4 host? I know that's a lot of information but if my hunch ...

Hi again, I just ran a check of the configuration files because i add'ed a new host like usual, and i noticed that it outputs a number of hosts, services, groups and so on. and to show you how many hosts my nagios configuration actually has i took a screenshot of this too. As you can see i have 147 ...

I think a pretty good way to describe it is to show you, so i made some screenshots of it and attached it to this post. As you can see, there is executed active checks on the host named DC4. but if i click on the host, the host is not found in the web interface (if i search for DC4 in the menu to th...

hello, where you can't see the host on webinterface? The tactical overview only shows hosts with problems, not all hosts. do you find the host, if you search it in quick search box? kind regards V3xX Hi, Well, the Tactical overview also shows a "# Active Host / Service Checks: 122 / 712" ...

Something i have been thinking about is, since i run linux it maybe a permission problem? Can anyone tell me, where the webinterface reads to get the hosts/service to show in tactical overview, hosts view and services view ? maybe the problem is, that when i restart the nagios service it cant write ...
