Windows server monitoring

Post by jladd »

On a previous install of xi I used to have the option when using the configuration wizard to monitor windows servers. I did not backup that install and completely started over I don't remember if that was included in the previous xi install or if it was a addon or plugin that i had uploaded.

Could anyone please help me find this configuration wizard?

Should have been included. I've noted that if one of the config wizards has a php syntax error the rest(from there down) will fail to load. Could this be your problem?

I have been trying to check this and so far i don't see or get any errors anywhere Ive been also trying to hunt it down in the logs with nothing. One thing I do remember is when i installed everything and was running the setup scripts when i got to i believe it was E-importnagiosql I was watching the script run and the last line it ran was

./nom_create_nagioscore_checkpoint.sh: line 9: ./reset_config_perms: No such file or directory
/usr/local/nagiosxi/nom/checkpoints/nagioscore /tmp/xi/nagiosxi/basedir/scripts
tar: Removing leading `/' from member names
/tmp/xi/nagiosxi/basedir/scripts

From there it seemed like the script froze i hit enter and it went back to a # prompt to type the next command. Could something there have not finished or hung up and not all of the configuration wizards got setup?

Failures in these scripts are fairly routine... Though I don't have a list of all the failures that can be ignored.

This script, though, has nothing to do with XI. It populates NagiosQL and then exports the config, then loads Nagios Core.

I guess the question I was trying to ask is, how many wizards do you see and which one is the last?

The windows server one for monitoring windows servers. It had more options if I recall to monitor extra services and it was more specific.

This one circled in red Is the one I am missing. I believe by default it is supposed to be there correct?

Where did this screen shot come from? You can export and import Nagios XI Wizards.
