Autodiscovery Questions

[haile711]

I have set up 2 jobs for discovery of new hosts. They are locate in the /html/includes/components/autodiscovery/jobs. I want to know how to the jobs name get created?
Is there a way to parse out the .xml to a new text file?

Code: Select all

[root@MA100DLVMON812 jobs]# ls -lrt
total 624
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache nagios      0 Dec  1 13:43 o80q02.watch
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache nagios 345477 Dec  1 13:49 o80q02.out
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache nagios  87581 Dec  1 13:49 o80q02.xml

Random, to the best of my knowledge.

You could look inside of /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/autodiscovery/autodiscovery.inc.php and make any modifications you would like.

Thanks Kennedy,
I have recently upgraded one of my Nagios servers to 5.x but the "Autodiscovery" is running for the long long time. When we tried the nmap scan from the server with the same subnet, we got a response within 3 mins less. Did I do something wrong? please advise. Thanks

I have recently upgraded one of my Nagios servers to 5.x but the "Autodiscovery" is running for the long long time.

How long does it take before the new devices are discovered in the GUI? What is the version of the Nagios XI, "Auto-Discovery" component, and the "Auto-Discovery" wizard that you are currently using? What is the output of the following command?

Code: Select all

nmap -V

[haile711]

Code: Select all

Nmap version 5.51 ( http://nmap.org )

Auto-Discovery version 2.2.1
I have been running the job for over 3 hours and still nothing. Nothing the has been discovered and the jobs is not done either.

Can you update your nmap?

Also, what version is the 'Auto-Discovery' wizard? The screen shot you posted is for the core component.

[haile711]

how do we find out the wizards version?

how do we find out the wizards version?

Go to: Admin->Manage Config Wizards

What is the Nagios XI version that you are currently using? It's shown on the Home page (bottom left corner).
