Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

We have XI configured to send, snmp traps to 3rd party event management tool.

I can see the traps by tailing /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/eventman.log, as they are processed by XI, but couldn't see them getting saved anywhere.

Are they logged somewhere on XI or just the temp log (eventman.log) ?

Thanks! You may lock this thread.

It would be great to have an fully functional API.

I have an idea to run a script on XI by sending passive (HARD DOWN) check to some dummy host through API and then having XI trigger the script through event handler.

What do you think?

Hi,

Do we have an option to run system commands/scripts on XI servers through API. And can we get the status of XI components through API? ex: SNMP trap sender?

As far as i have learnt, we can manipulate host/s and services through REST API.

Version: Nagios XI 5.4.0

Well, I'll try to find a way then.

Thank you for your support. You may lock the thread.

I do not want to create user from the xi interface. Is there a option to create by editing config files?
