Nagios Support Forum

Thank you. I followed the PDF and Nagios recognizes the plugin and it appears in the combo box. Adding the plugin manually was a waste of time. I'll just use the CGI from now on and be resigned to never knowing why the manual method didn't work. ... the plugin did run on the CLI because it was a sta...

Nagios does not offer my plugin in the CGI. CCM> Services> AddNew> CheckCommand combo box. As a test I have duplicated and renamed one of the plugins that comes with Nagios check_mssql to become check_ts. Here's what I've done do far. Made a sub-folder for the plugin /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ia Cop...

Standard Nagios check programs are stored in /usr/local/nagios/libexec. Which folder do I use to store my custom check programs? Defining my check program. Does it get defined it in /usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg or do I define it in a new file /usr/local/nagios/etc/static/myKoolCommands.cfg? I ...

Sorry, I'm looking in CCM> Monitoring> HostGroups and I don't see anything to link service templates.

Nagios XI 2012R2.1
I setup five service templates and one host template. What are the steps to attach the five service templates to the host template in the CGI?
When I apply the host template to my two hosts, each host will have five services.

Attaching check-host-alive to a host in the Service Management screen gives a duration.

Perf grapher is running. All dots green. TYVM.

I can't use check-host-alive for Star because of a firewall. The ping times out.

I do use check-host-alive for Sync and workhorse and they have N/A duration. Does the blinking System Problem: "performance grapher is not running" have anything to do with this?

I have five hosts. 1. localhost has a duration time and is OK. 2. Host Sim was up and had N/A duration. Sim was then shutdown, nagios reported DOWN and reported a correct down duration. Sim was just powered up and nagios is reporting UP duration correctly. the check is check-host-alive. 3. Host Star...

Some of my hosts show "N/A" in the duration column. Which variable do I set to get a time?
The Admin> System Profile shows the system time and PHP time are the same and correct. PHP time zone is also correct.
