Re: RDP services monitoring

Check (GUI or CLI) does not produce any results: "No handler for that command" instead. This means you don't have your external script properly defined in your nsc.ini/nsclient.ini - post the contents of that file for further troubleshooting. It might also be handy for us to see the outpu...

Re: Nagios XI logentries table crashes frequently

It's not uncommon for the backup process to fill the disk (on a nightly basis) which then causes the databases to crash. Is your free disk space adequate to absorb your nightly uncompressed backups prior to compression/shipping?

Re: Nagios XI Linux Client Wizard Install Fails

Something is definitely haywire with your system. I suggest in order to get your install done just create the following file in the directory containing the fullinstall script: installed.usersgroups Then re-run fullinstall, it shouldn't bother mucking about with creating the users if that file is th...

Re: Log into Nagios Core via AD

You can authenticate using AD:

However you'll still have to assign privileges in cgi.cfg, create contacts and contactgroups for notifications, etc.

Re: Passive Check Freshness Not Working

Also, can the host group that the host is in have any effect on this? Now that I think about it the host was in a group named w2k8r2-servers and I moved it to w2k12-servers. Not really - not as long as active checks are indeed disabled, which they are. I would still try to put it back and see if th...

Re: Database Setup -- Still Supported ???

due to my database departments standard practices I'd like to make you aware that your database department's standard practices aren't necessarily industry standards, although I'm certain you can't affect that: https://www.google.com/search?q=database+multiple+schemas+vs+multiple+databases&ie=u...

Re: SMS alert for specific service

If I had a dime for every time I've answered this question - I'd be $0.20 richer (after this posting). No - obviously notification commands are a contact construct, not a service construct. The only shenanigans I can think of that you can piece together would be using a notification command as the e...

Re: Passive Check Freshness Not Working

Why are we obsessing and what is your obsessive command? I don't know how/why it would matter in this case, especially almost 2 minutes after a passive result. Maybe best if you can just post your nagios.cfg in its entirety for me to review. I'm also curious about max_check_attempts... in my mind th...

Re: How monitoring python program output values in nagios?

Since this script only exits on error it won't work being called by NRPE. Your options are as follows. 1) Rewrite the script so that it sends passive results after every sleep state. 2) Rewrite the script to exit upon every invocation using sys.exit(0) for OK, sys.exit(1) for WARNING, sys.exit(2) fo...
