nagios XI report and dashlets not showing newly added hosts

[sandeepspan]

Hi,

PDF report from web UI is working fine, We are facing issue for the scheduled reports with PDF as attachment.

Version details that i found are as below,
Nagios® XI™ Copyright © 2008-2015 Nagios Enterprises, LLC.

That's just the copyright information, not the version. The version will be displayed at the bottom of your web interface on the left side and will be something like "Nagios XI 2014R2.3".

Ohh here is the correct information.

Nagios XI 2014R2.3


I still could not find any hint on resolution of the PDF report attachment issue.

Could you go to "Admin", "Manage System Config" and verify that the Program URL and the External URL are correct?

Could you open a shell on the XI server and run the following and post the output?

Code: Select all

wkhtmltopdf -V

OK, Correction in the "Program Url" has solved the problem, Now PDF reports are working properly.

Thanks for to the point input. below is the output that your requested,

# wkhtmltopdf -V
wkhtmltopdf 0.12.1-c22928d (with patched qt)


I had few queries in order to get overall manageability of Nagios XI consider below scenario,

1) i have to configure 100 hosts with a similar service
2) first thought was whether i should opt for creation of the service to each host separately having a unique service template
3) Second thought was whether i should configure only single service having mapping to all required hosts along with unique service template
4) Unique service template has all check and notification parameters configured
which one is better 2) or 3)

Do you have any document on best practice for configuration of Nagios XI, What all documents i looked so far are simply UI introduction.

Regards,
Sandeep Panchal.
