Nagios Support Forum

If you look at the main page for NagiosQL, which the Core Config Manager is based upon, config_id is used to support multiple configuration sets: mcapra , This might be kind of a newbie question but I see you cite NagiosQL documentation. Does that mean I'm using this configuration tool for my Nagio...

I see that many of the Nagios tables include columns called config_id and access_rights. I don't see these documented anywhere on the usage. The access_rights always seems to be null and the config_id is always populated with number 1. Can someone tell me the purpose of these and whether and how the...

lmiltchev and scottwilkerson , You both were correct, thank you. scottwilkerson , the example scenario you gave solidified it. Just as you indicated, the values changed in the DB after I changed these settings. These three options (+, null, and standard) are available on most or all the object mana...

I'm using the REST API operation POST config/host. In this POST, I want to empty out the hostgroup column for a given host. The problem I'm having is that when I send an empty string or null, the hostgroup value still remains on the host. How can I clear this value using the POST config/host operati...

thanks @tmcdonald, you can lock this down.

First off, impressive diagram :) I wish all DB questions were this precise. Thanks! :D I personally agree with your thoughts that the hostgroup definition is the proper place to create associations between hosts and their hostgroups (and between services and their servicegroups). XI tends to do it ...
