nagios command line-cli document/manual/book

Post by zaji_nms »

Dear Expert

Many time me go stuck to do some job in seconds via Nagios web interface, is there any book/URL giving detail about the commands that can execute from server itself to do the jobs in minutes via cli compare to no option or lengthy via web. We have CentOS 6.5 and Nagios2012 and Nagios2014. cli=command line interface

What sort of job are you trying to do via the web interface?

Dear Box293

Thanks for the URL. However its just a single URL of tip and sure there is thousands of such.

I think I have to explore too.

If you have some , please add in next post and you can close.

I think this might be just what you are looking for:

Each listing explains the command and gives an example script.

I believe your question is a bit abstract, are you looking for a book which covers NagiosXI / Core? There are quite a few publications out there currently, one, from one of our former employee's is this:

Of course, you can also sign up for Nagios Live training, which includes several rather large manuals on Core, and XI, depending on what training you select:

Dear Expert

as per our Management , live/online training just in Canada.

However old.nagios.org/developerinfo/externalcommands/commandlist.php is sure will be useful.

Thanks

I am going to close the thread now, but if you have specific questions about any of the commands feel free to open a thread for that issue.
