Post by sureshkraj2012 »

Hello,

Is there any log available in NagiosXiIwhere I can see components details (like when it was installed and by whom)?

Admin -> Audit Log. This is part of our Enterprise Edition, and you can enable a 60-day trial of Enterprise when you visit the page.

More specifically, no those are not logged in the Nagios Core log file. I believe it is from the postgres database.

This may be of help:

Esentially, the Mysql DB "nagios, and nagiosql" are responsible for housing your configurations, and the postgres database handles user information such as what is used to log into the web interface, it also handles XI specific configuration information for the XI subsystem and it's web interface which runs on top of Nagios Core.
