Re: Can you please provide url to access nagios db.

If you're referring to an application like phpMyAdmin , such an application does not exist. I would absolutely not install phpMyAdmin on top of Nagios XI. You should be able to use any generic MySQL client to access the database on localhost:3306 . The default database root user is root:nagiosxi . I...

Re: nagios encyrpted password for url monitoring

Yeah, you'll probably need to use Selenium or WebInject for something like this. Refer to the docs shared by tmcdonald earlier for some steps to get started. The Selenium docs in particular aren't Nagios XI specific until page 10, which is just configuring a Nagios service and command ; Not that har...

Re: Incorrect memory reporting

Step 1 is setting up NSClient++ to listen to check_nrpe connections. The official documentation is pretty good for that: https://docs.nsclient.org/howto/nrpe/ box293 has some very useful examples of leveraging check_nrpe with NSClient++ listed on his website: http://sites.box293.com/nagios/guides/co...

Though since you are switching major operating system versions, please pay special attention to the "Changed Operating System Version or Architecture" section.

Re: Graphical Representation of usage

Nagios XI includes graphing out-of-the-box, but it's only free to try or up to 7 hosts. Most people who want to graph performance data are using PNP4Nagios . There's also guides out there for integrating Nagios with Grafana: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Documentation/Nagios-with-InfluxDB,-...

Re: How to display the CPU Utilization of linux machine in %

check_nrpe is a plugin that reaches out to an NRPE agent on a remote machine and executes Nagios plugins to return their results back to Nagios Core. It's only one piece of the puzzle, we would need to know what script your colleague is using to assist further. Here's good walkthrough for setting up...

Re: Nagios graphing - what to use?

Nagios Core/XI aren't super duper geared towards time-series monitoring. Nagios XI can do the collection/analysis out of the box, but in terms of alerting on trends, there isn't much. For simple graphing and recording time-series data, PNP4Nagios is pretty popular. I can think of a few ways to go ab...

Re: BIOS/Firmware error

It's probably the BIOS settings of your physical machine, but I would also double check to make sure you aren't installing an 64-bit VM on a 32-bit system, or installing a 32-bit system and flagging it as a 64-bit system in your virtualization application. I've seen VirtualBox toss out those errors ...
