Nagios Support Forum

Hi, I've been tasked to see if it is possible for Nagios to monitor the health/services running on EC2 instances that are within an autoscaling group in AWS. (i.e. serverA is removed from the ASG, serverB takes it's place and Nagios starts monitoring the resource usage/services of this new host). Am...

Thanks for the reply both. The home directory does exist - we're using the pre-built virtual appliance.

I'll do a bit more digging tomorrow to see if I can work this out, but for now I'm happy with the workaround I have in place and so the call can be closed if you like.

Thanks for your help.

You said that you ran it as the nagios user, but I'd like to make sure you became nagios correctly. Did you do "su - nagios" or "su nagios"? If you omit the -, your environment won't be pulled in correctly, which might cause this problem. Another possibility is that your plugin ...

I agree that it should stay as an array no matter how many of the objects there are in there. The conversion on our side is the problem and can be updated to wor...

The JSON returned from the API returns inconsistent types depending on whether mutliple results are returned or not. As an example, requesting the status of a single host returns an object but requesting the status of multiple hosts returns an array of objects Would it not be better to return an arr...

We're running Nagios XI 5.5.2 (installed from OVA CentOS 6.9) and are looking to update to the latest version of Nagios XI and perform OS updates at the same time, but the last yum update ran was over a year ago so I'm a bit weary of hitting the go button. In terms of applying the updates, what's th...

Thanks @benjaminsmith I'll look to apply the latest fixes soon - the topic can be closed.
