[wipro-nagios-service]

Hello team ,

Is it possible to do nested hostgroup in nagiosxi .Like we googled and found many already shared links but those were old ones .And so we would like to know if nested hostgroup creation is possible in today's scenario .Please let us know .

Hi

Yes, you can have nested hostgroups.

Take a look at his video:

nested_hostgroups.zip

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Hello Team ,

Thanks for your response .

Requirement is on dash board it should be visible to have bifurcation but it is showing all groups members in main hostgroup . Bifurcation should be visible of nested hostgroup like a tree on dashboard .

Hi,

Unfortunately that functionality is not available. I’ve submitted a feature request
to add this ability to the product on your behalf.

Please keep in mind that the decision to implement an enhancement is at
the discretion of our development team.

Thanks

Hello Gsmith ,

Thanks for your response . I do understand this .

One more query is it possible to monitor services running in container of docker .Like we have gone through nagiosxi documentation of container monitoring but it is not showing monitoring status of service running in container . Apart on exchange also didn't find any plugin .

Hi

A Nagios instance that is monitoring A Docker container cannot monitor the services within that Docker container.

Thanks

Hello Team ,

Thanks for your response .

And in case if it is not monitoring that docker then in that case can it monitor the services running in container ?? If not ,Is it expected to be in future releases .

No. I don't know much about Docker, but from what I have seen from some Google searches it is possible to have a Nagios
instance running inside a Docker instance.

If not ,Is it expected to be in future releases .

There are no plans at this time to include this functionality.

Thanks

Hi smith ,

thanks for your reply !

The concern is can we monitor the container services which is running on some other instance through nagiosxi where nagios is running on some other node .

Hi

I think that may be possible. My suggestion is to try it. I don't have any Docker experience
so unfortunately I can't "lab it" for you.

Thanks
