Re: reusing dashboard?

thanks. I dont need to make the changes on the fly, I would just like a way to build one dashboard, then make N copies of the dashboard referencing different hostgroups. Is the direct access / modification of the database a supported mechanism? I dont mind doing that, it's straightforward enough. th...

reusing dashboard?

I need to make a series of dashboards, where the panels and layouts will all be the same. The one thing that varies from dashboard to dashboard is the hostgroup that the dashboard is built from. Is there a way outside of the nagiosxi web ui to duplicate or modify dashboards? I would prefer not to ha...

passing $ARG1$ / $ARG2$ values to service when creating

I'm creating services from a template using the rest api. An example of the payload I'm sending via http/post is: payload = {'host_name' : devname, 'service_description': str(service['display_name']) + '--- interface counters', 'servicegroups' : 'huit-its-interface-counters', 'use' : 'huit-its-netwo...

send scheduled report to contactgroup?

I have a scheduled report which I'm happy with. In the development of it, I was having it send directly to my email address. I would like to use a contactgroup as the recipient list for the report.

Re: vsphere monitoring

yes, that is some number of checks on one host. I've got other hosts that have 100+ checks though (interface status on some of the routers in my environment...). Also, the total number of checks that need to be run are the same (ie: if I have 5 esx hosts, and I want to check cpu and memory on all of...

Re: vsphere monitoring

.... that just seems awkward if there is already a place that rolls up all the performance data. Rather than 60 hosts, I can have one host.

That's kind of the point of vsphere.

vsphere monitoring

I'm using the vmware wizard to add my vcenter server. I'm only interested in the status of the esx hosts themselves, not any of the guest machines. Vsphere knows about all of the esx hosts connected to it (all esx hosts roll performance data up to vsphere). however it looks like I have to re-invent ...

check_mrtg usage question

I'm trying to get a check for any errors or discards on a router interface. I have mrtg running on the nagios server, and collecting data for the router in question. I dont think I want to use check_mrtgtraf, since I'm not looking at traffic or utilization rates. I'm interested in getting a notifica...
