Need information on NagVis

[bsivavani]

Hi,

We would like to create custom dashboards with Nagios XI 5.2.9 data. To achieve this we have seen NagVis tool will reach our requirement.

We would like to know about the below information

1. Is NagVis open source or licensed ?
2. Does Nagios provide support if any issues.
3. Please provide any useful info on this.

Kindly advice ?

1.) Yes, although not created by the Nagios Enterprises Team

2.) For the installed version of Nagvis that comes with Nagios XI, we do as far as functional integration with Nagios XI, but not for creating custom Maps.

3.) Nothing much more to add, NagVis is a powerful tool, but it does take a lot of playing with to get it configured the way you want.

Thanks for the update.

We have installed license version of Nagios XI 5.2.9 on one of server, but NagVis not came up along with Nagios XI.

Kindly advice on how to integrate Nagios Xi and NagVis ?

If you login to the Nagios XI GUI and go to the Home menu, on the Left side menu under Maps, do you see the Nagvis link?
If so, that is how you would access it from the XI GUI.

Hi,

We tried to open NagVis tab, but getting Webpage cannot be found.

Please find attached screen shot and also we have observed that there is no nagvis folder /usr/local/nagvis/ found on server.

Can you provide installation steps.

How did you install Nagios XI - from source or you used one of our "pre-built" VMs? There was one version of XI that was missing NagVis, but I can't remember which one. It could be the 5.2.9 VM. The source install have the NagVis for sure.

Was the link always broken? You haven't tried to upgrade NagVis manually, have you?

Try rerunning the upgrade script with the "-f" flag (forcing the update of all components, wizards, dashlets):

Code: Select all

cd /tmp/nagiosxi
./upgrade -f

If for some reason you no longer have the original install directory, you could download it, untar the tarball, and run the same commands:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/5/xi-5.2.9.tar.gz
tar xvf xi-5.2.9.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi
./upgrade -f

Note: First time you log in NagVis, you will be asked for credentials. Use the nagiosadmin/password credentials that you use in XI.

Let us know if this helped. Thank you!
