Nagios Support Forum

Thanks. We're all good with it. Please close this tread.

Thanks. There's an API to create a service not to deactivate it. If I try to create an existing object but with disabled notification, would that overwrite the existing service for that host?

Can you suggest if there is API in Nagios that would allow to do something like this: get a list of all failed services, if the host matches some string then disable the service.

Thanks

Thanks. It's clear what you meant now. I defined $USER9$ as a community string that has all special characters escaped.

Thanks. I added the macro. Just to confirm. I still need to change /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/switch/switch.inc.php:1027 to refer to the newly created macro instead of using $snmpopts['snmpcommunity'] right ? When I used the wizard, I did not see an option to select a macro for ...

Once I define the community string as a macro (with escaped special chars), how would I tell network wizard to use that when generating the config files?

Hi, Our SNMP community string has special characters (! and &). If we use the wizard to configure Network Switch / Router, then the services do not work and we need to escape special characters. We have 10s of routers/switches to monitor. Each of the port statuses has the port number, so we cann...
