Re: Web transaction monitoring - possible choices

Could a more current version of core have the same capabilities? No version of Core currently has the configuration wizards mentioned in that documentation. WebInject will still work the same in Nagios Core as it does in Nagios XI, it'll just take a bit more time to set up and configure: https://ex...

Re: WMI - Backend login to the Core Config Manager failed.

Can you share the full output of reconfigure_nagios.sh executed from the CLI of your Nagios XI machine? Multiple steps can produce that message, and knowing which step specifically broke things is massively helpful. Was SSL enabled on this server? Page 8 and 9 of this documentation contain informati...

Re: Monitor a Folder Size in Windows

Or have your NSClient++ command definition for check_foldersize accept an argument that represents the path. Then you would configure the individual folders on the Nagios side of things. Both are viable options.

Re: Check two websites for one service...

You essentially have 2 "checks" who's states are tightly coupled with one another. If it were my problem to solve, I would write a custom plugin for this. In pseudocode: $site1_content = http_request_to(site1); $site2_content = http_request_to(site2); if($site1_content IN ('idle', 'active'...

Re: JDBC related error.

If you can share the specific plugin you are using, where you found it, and what documentation you followed, that would be massively helpful in beginning to troubleshoot this. However, this is not strictly a Nagios related problem; It's a Java problem. Literally the only reason you'd be seeing that ...

Re: notifications not going out

I would double-check the settings mentioned under the "User Notification Configuration" section (Page 2 into Page 3) of this document: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/docs/Configuring-Email-And-Text-Notifications-in-Nagios-XI.pdf Making sure both "Enable Notifications&quo...

Re: Received an event that has a different character encodin

Stripping out the problematic characters is one solution. This can be done in nxlog prior to shipping it to Logstash, as you've indicated. The other option is to properly define, within the Logstash rule, what charset the Windows machine is using. CP1252 and CP437 are remarkably similar (just as one...

Re: Installing NRPE on a large number of RHEL servers

You could build it on each host version (6/7) however you would need to create a whole installer that builds the services, places all the files/plugins in the correct directory, etc. Chef , Ansible , or Puppet might be useful to this end. Here's a cookbook for Chef that looks ready to go for NRPE: ...
