Nagios Support Forum

Hello redacted, In UNIX and Linux, there is no timestamp representing when a file is created. And in Nagios XI, the date and time that a config (node) was created is not stored in the database. Consequently, there is no way to script out determining when a node was added to the system. That said, if...

Hello truongquyen, The plugin check_snmp returns what it return; ie: /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp -H 10.18.0.254 -C public -o sysUpTime.0 SNMP OK - 395059058 | DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance=3950590581 There does not seem to be a provision in the plugin to return the value in days. Howe...

I'm sorry,

I neglected to ask which version of Nagios XI you are running. The contents of your /usr/local/nagiosxi/scripts is substantially different than that of a stock current Nagios XI installation. Which version are you running?

Hello elade, Duplicating the functionality of the switch router wizard via scripting with the api certainly could be done. The script would first need to perform an snpm walk to identify the ports on the switch and then loop through the results to create a service check for each port. Hope this help...

Hello nib01, Does your smtp server require authentication? SSL, TLS? Are you connecting via directives in a /etc/postfix/main.cf file? We would need more information to diagnose your issue. Please attach the output of: tail -100 /var/log/maillog Immediately after attempting to send the message. Than...

Hello Andyb4u,

If you would attach the log file you've created as well as the system profile from your XI host, we'd be happy to take a look.

Admin >> System Profile >> Download System Profile.

The other option would be to define a system "Send From" email address in your/etc/postfix/main.cf file. I'll look into how to do this and also see if there are other options.

Hello Bruce,

I was unable to find anything in your system profile. The only two scenarios where I have seen this have been where two users have the same phone number or when a user configured for sms alerts is set to receive host and service notifications via sms. Could either of these be the case?

Hello Bruce, The command "notify-host-by-email" simply calls the /bin/mail program to send notifications. In this implementation, the "Send From" argument is not passed to the /bin/mail program. The resolution for this is to use the xi_host_notification_handler and xi_service_not...

Yes praveenkumar, Create the user (or edit if the user already exists), then under security settings select user as authorization level and check only the Read Only check box. Save the settings. Then in your host and service configs, make this user a monitoring contact only for the hosts you want th...
