Re: info in parenthesis next to host names

It would be really nice if this was a toggle, I don't like the new display format. I have my hosts set up with short names for the host name, IP for the address, and the FQDN for the alias. I need the alias the for reference, but I don't ever need or want to see it displayed. Can this be a feature r...

Re: LDAP bind options?

I talked to our LDAP/AD admin, and to use LDAP we definitely need to bind with the uid. The good news is that since we run both LDAP and AD I was able to authenticate against active directory once he gave me the proper base DN and server addresses to use, so I still think LDAP auth may have some iss...

Re: Timeout issue

Were you able to find a solution to this yet? I ran across this problem today when a network interruption caused ~250 hosts to become unavailable and around 1300 SNMP checks to go critical at the same time. Alert messages spammed the mail server, the mysql database filled up the partition and crashe...

Re: Default check and notification periods via monitoring wi

Looks like this is still happening in Nagios XI 2014R1.2. Has there been any change to the code that would let me override the default behaviour? I'm writing a custom wizard for our Linux servers, which forces them to use our enterprise-wide templates that define check and notification intervals, ti...

Re: Add notes to host status page

Not exactly, it's just the notes text, not a button.
Here's a screenshot of what it looks like, the part circled in red is the note.

Add notes to host status page

Most of my hosts have some additional information defined in the notes field. Currently, the only way to see that information in Nagios XI from the host status page is to open the Advanced tab and click "See this host in Nagios Core". What I'd like to see is an option to have that displaye...
