End of Life

Is there a version of XI that is no longer supported? What is the oldest we are 'allowed' to run.

Thanks

NRPE easy question

Using NRPE 4.x

What is the correct syntax for allowed_hosts in order to allow any connection, every connection.

I need to temporarily change to an open format.

Do you simply comment out the line?

Please advise.

Thanks

Re: how to make sound on some of Service alert

Can't you make a small NagVis page with those devices on it - turn on sound for them?
Then they just keep that one small window open.

Re: "JMX CRITICAL - objectName not found" GarbageCollector

Sometimes the names are not what you expect. I get past this by listing all the possible mbeans to a file which I can look through to find the proper names. Try this syntax jmx4perl http://localhost:8080/jolokia \ --target service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://[IP of system]:[JMX port]/jmxrmi \ --target-use...

Re: API and Hostgroups

Benjamin, Thanks for the information. Can I get an enhancement request added: Can we use the API to add one Host to an existing Hostgroup without needing to recreate the group? I already have a large infrastructure. I am tripling our monitoring footprint. My company has been acquired 2 times in the ...

Re: find out 1minute checks

There is a file Nagios creates where all the items are expanded out such that each definition is complete with no underlying templates involved. In your /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg file you can see where your file is located grep object_cache /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg # object_cache relo...

Re: API and Hostgroups

Finally had time to try this out. After reading in all the host additions, I now have one host assigned to the hostgroup. It would appear that this is not an additive process? It wipes out existing members and adds the one new item? Is there syntax I can use such that when I add a new host, I can ad...

Re: Can we pass additional description in alert for Nagios X

I have some thoughts on this as I need to also pass along extra data in the messages people get. Look at the Misc Settings tab for your Host and Service definitions. (I prefer using Templates actually so All host and All services inherit the definitions from one place) Add data to the Notes field. U...
