Nagios Support Forum

I ditto rkennedy's suggestion. Let us know if the outcome is any different this time around, perhaps something was imported out of step previously.

First, a public service announcement: Always be mindful of what you see from Nagios related Google searches as most are for Nagios Core which is a different product and the procedure for adding hosts/services is far different from Nagios XI Ok, now If your XI system is installed on Ubuntu, this is a...

Please let us know which plugin you are using to make this check - most plugins have a 'timeout' argument that can be set - '-t 120' or similar, it may be as simple as adding that to the end of your check. We need to know the plugin name to tell you for certain. You can check this from the CLI by ac...

I think we've got a misunderstanding of this here. When you login to XI the time is always local (of course) and when configuring scheduled downtime for another server in a different timezone you'll have to manually account for the time diff.

You'll have to create a separate check_CPU service for Host # 3 where only 'Contact Y' is listed as the contact. Unfortunately there is not a way to isolate Contact Y when the same service check is applied to all hosts in a host group, at least not that I'm aware of.

I'd attempt to describe it in detail here, but we have a doc which does that:

Hopefully that clears things up for you but of course let us know if you have any additional questions.
