Using Nagios Log Server to show Nagios XI dashboard

Post by alsoszaa »

I have installed a fresh copy of Nagios Log Server then looked in Nagios Exchange to find Add-Ons -> Dashboards. I found dashboards for Nagios Hosts, Services, Notifications, and Stats. I found this was all in a package on GitHub: T-M-D/NLS-Collection (https://github.com/T-M-D/NLS-Collection). The instructions for this were found here: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... Server.pdf. Here are the steps:

# Nagios Core Filter
* This filter takes the Nagios Core log data and stores it into many fields
* This filter works with Nagios XI as it uses Nagios Core in the backend

* Full documentation on how to use this filter can be located here:
* https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... Server.pdf

* To create the filter in Nagios Log Server
* Administration > Global Configuration > Filters > Add Filter

* Your Nagios server will need to send the log data tagged as "nagios_core" for this filter to work
* To confgure your Nagios server to do this, execute the following commands on your Nagios server (replace xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx with your Nagios Log Server address)
* curl -s -O http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/nagioslogserver/ ... p-linux.sh
* sudo bash setup-linux.sh -s xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -p 5544 -f "/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log" -t nagios_core



However, when I look at the dashboards, I see the tables this created, but there is no data populated. When I do a query for type="Nagios_core" on a blank dashboard, I have data, but these dashboards are not showing any data. Does anyone else use these dashboards to help me troubleshoot what is happening here?

I believe the query you want is

Code: Select all

type:nagios_core
