This works fine for me and has been how I've been doing it. I'm not sure that is going to work for non-linux people here who want to setup checks.... I was under the impression that Nagios XI was supposed to be for non-tech people to set stuff up. If they need to drop to a shell & ssh in, I'm af...

This should have been fixed in version 1.6 of Nagios Xi 2012, what version are you running? Is it possible for you to upgrade to the latest version? "XI 2012 r1.8" Under Admin -> System Profile I have: Nagios XI Installation Profile Download Profile System: Nagios XI Version : 2012R1.8

I've found that if I put an ampersand in the description of a host group, the name comes up wrong in some places. Try this: 1) Add a hostgroup. 2) Put an ampersand (the "&" symbol) in the description, then go to Configure -> Core Config manager -> Host groups. The description will show...

I copied and pasted your example and it did not solve the issue: $ARG3$ [ -l "\\LogicalDisk\\(C:\\)\\% Free Space","Disk Free Space %.2f %%" -w 90 -c 95 ] Output of test command: COMMAND: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nt -H 10.1.5.147 -s "" -p 1248 -v COUNTER -l "...

The test may fail since it may be required to escape the backslashes that are being used in the ARG3 value. See this wiki page for an example of escaping a special character: http://support.nagios.com/wiki/index.php/Nagios_XI:FAQs#Problems_with_.24_Signs_in_the_Check_Command What the test was doing...

Hi, I've run into an issue while evaluating Nagios XI System: Centos 6.4 Platform: Xenserver 5.6sp2 vm Nagios XI Version: 2012R1.8 Since I've used nagios OSS for a while so I'm doing the configuration of our test box via the core config manager. I have the following check command that works fine via...
