Can't get the auto-discovery started

[reinaldo.gomes]

CentOS 6.7 Final
NagiosXI 5.2.2 (trial version - pre-configured VM)

Auto-discovery settings:
Scan target - 172.16.10.2/32
Frequency - One time
OS Detection - Off
Scan Delay - none
System DNS - Off

'nmap 172.16.10.2' returns valid result (host is up, ports x, y, z open).

I've waited for over 12 hours, but there's no status update, pretty much like in this topic:
https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 98#p159141

Except that I'm not running anything on schedule. Any clues?

We have a bug report filed for this exact issue.

Can you run these commands and let me know what happens?

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
rm -rf nagiosxi
wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/5/xi-5.2.0.tar.gz
tar xzf xi-5.2.0.tar.gz
cp -R -n nagiosxi/nagiosxi/basedir/html/includes/components/autodiscovery/* /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/autodiscovery/
cd /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/autodiscovery/
./install.sh

It worked for that single IP. I'm testing now on a broader range, but it's taking a while to complete.

[hsmith]

It can take some time. A full scan of an IP range isn't always the quickest process. Additionally, there is a delay under the 'advanced options' that you can turn down. Some people need to adjust their delay so that their IDS doesn't have a fit seeing a network scan like that taking place

[reinaldo.gomes]

I see. What's the default delay value? 0?
The scan has finished on my /16 network, and shows the hosts as expected. Thanks for the hotfix.

[hsmith]

Glad that worked, /16 is 65536 IP addresses. When it is checking multiple things on each of them, doing DNS lookups, etc, it's not the quickest process. Are we all right to close this thread as this is resolved?

Edit: just noticed your default delay question. I'll get an answer and post back.

[hsmith]

The delay is indeed 0 by default.

[reinaldo.gomes]

Case closed. Thanks once again.

Happy to help.
