Naigos automate count of checks for licensing

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...

Re: NagiosXI 5.7 custom variables in notifications best prac

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...

NagiosXI 5.7 custom variables in notifications best practice

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...

Re: Nagios XI on Centos 8 yum/dnf update failure

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.

The problem is that we can no longer run a yum update due to packages in the Nagios repo. No amount of flushing or resetting yum or dnf fixes t...
