We have a number of servers and I would like to know if there is a way to count the number of active checks from the command line or via API so we can get MSP pricing and to be able to keep track of tracks to avoid any surprises if we move to MSP licensing. I am looking for a shell command that retu...

We are beginning a hardware refresh and moving from CentOS to Ubuntu for the base OS. I am planning to use the manual backup/restore process to move over the data from the old machines but I would prefer to automate these tasks. I am looking for a command line way to do the following: From the core ...

We are currently starting a refresh cycle to get some of our older machines updated and wanted to know what others use in the field. Our current replacement is the following: Supermicro Superserver E300-9D-8CN8TP with Intel Xeon D-2146NT 16GB RAM 250GB M.2 SSD VMware 7 VMware installed on 32GB SATAD...

We have multiple Nagios servers that send alerts to a single pagerdury instance. So the purpose of the variable is to send to pagerduty to identify the location of the particular site in the alert. The variable that is available on the pagerduty side is called "client". I need to map a var...

I am trying to populate the "client" variable from Nagios to Pagerduty. I know I can do this from pdagent with the -f flag but do you know what variable I can use or where I can set that variable in Nagios itself? Here is a sample of my notification command: /usr/share/pdagent-integrations...

That worked! I am just trying to figure out how to Ansibleize that one as the shell module will not be idempotent. Probably going to have to template out the yum.repos.d and add that to our deploy playbook.

We configured Yum to use the Nagios repo. To be clear, the install works and we get a working version of Nagios. I have repeated this process several times.
