Nagios Support Forum

I have to do this every time I make a change to a host or service configuration when using nagios core. Then I write to the files and everything comes back normal again but when I go back to view the hosts or services anything I had just changed shows an Out of Sync status again. Not sure why I have...

Nagios is running on a VM and is running version 2009R1.2. My ESX servers run on HP blades (BL 465c) running vsphere. The ESX servers and the nagios vm are on the same subnet. The interconnect bays on the blade chassis has cisco 3020 catalyst switches and Brocade fiber switches.

I recently installed the VMware wizard and added two ESX hosts to monitoring. I checked off all of the options for what I wanted to monitor on each host. I used the ESX host's root credentials when I went through the wizard. The hosts have been successfully added to Nagios. In the Host Status page b...

Ding Ding Ding...we have a winner.

You indicate that if we were to take the 1.1H VM image and then add hosts using the wizard that it would work up to a point and then stop? At what point did it stop, when did you enable "your vary own" /proxy server/(Used as a pronoun in-place of your real problem)? That exactly what happ...

Sorry but I'm not a Linux guy. I can only do basic stuff so I am not fluent in Penguin talk. I apologize if my posts aren't clear enough for you but I don't know what other details you need. I explained exactly what I did and what the outcome was. I would happily try what cczp1 did if someone could ...
