New Nagios XI install not adding any hosts

Post by AlloyOfIron »

Hi All,

I have installed Nagios XI on a clean install CentOS 9 VM but I am having some troubles adding hosts and was hoping someone might be able to help.

I have tried adding both network switches via SNMP and some servers via the basic ICMP option as a test. Every time I get a sad face error with the server IP - "didn't send any data" (image attached)

Now I will admit, I am a noob with both Nagios XI and Linux but the install is so basic I can't see what I could have done wrong.

I do have all of my switches currently being monitored via LibreNMS without and I used the same SNMP details

Any assistance would be much appreciated :)

Thanks

How are you adding hosts and switches?
Normally you add hosts via core configuration manage (CCM).

Hi,

Thanks for the response!

I have mainly been trying to add hosts via the configuration wizards but I also directly in the CCM. Both methods end up with the same error message.

Look at the logs in /usr/local/nagiosxi/var.
Run the resonfigure script (not sure of the exact name) from the shell and read the output.
locate reconfigure
find /usr/local -type f | grep reconfigure

I've been using the setting wizards and the CCM's manual host addition features the most. The identical issue occurs when attempting either approach
