Can the token be auto added or retrieved for custom plugins?

[meganoliver]

When creating/updating custom plugins after the initial NCPA configuration to Nagios XI, since the token needs to be defined in $ARG1$ of each service check definition, is there a way to automatically retrieve this token if the NCPA has already been configured to Nagios XI?

[meganoliver]

As a follow up, is the token stored anywhere on the Nagios XI server or in the database?

The token is defined on the client (remote machine). It will be present in Nagios XI too (in the check commands) if there are NCPA services configured.

If you added your NCPA services by running the NCPA wizard, you could probably view the tokens for all NCPA services by running this very ugly command

Code: Select all

grep -R ncpa /usr/local/nagios/etc/services | grep check_command | cut -d '!' -f 2 | awk '{print $2}'

or you could just open one of the NCPA services in the CCM, and find the token (right after the "-t" flag in the $ARG1$ field).

Thank you!

We were able to figure out where the token is stored and it's associated server in the database by running this query:
SELECT * FROM nagiosxi.xi_meta WHERE keyname LIKE '%hostname%';
