When a potential problem is first detected:
Re-check the host and service(s) every minutes up to times before generating an alert.

It takes me to the Monitoring Wizard and the error is

This is a known issue. It can be fixed by following these steps:

Code: Select all

cd /tmp
wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/5/xi-5.2.0.tar.gz
tar xzf xi-5.2.2.tar.gz
cd nagiosxi/
cd subcomponents/xiwizards/wizards/
unzip autodiscovery.zip
cp -r autodiscovery /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/
Let me know if this works for you.

Can you revert back to a working configuration and attempt to use the autodiscover once again?

This is a new installation of nagiosxi-5.2.2-64.ova on vmware esxi.
The initial porblem was ---On trying the autodiscovery feature the status shows continuous and does not show discovered devices
I had requested help on the forum
Since there is a bug in 5.2.2 that doesn't install the component correctly.
I had carried out the changes as below.

=====
d /tmp
rm -rf nagiosxi
wget https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... 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
======
With this the auto discovery was able to successfully detect devices.
After Your suggestion I was able to move to the next screens as described in this post.
Please let me know if you would want me to revert back the changes you had suggested.

I'm glad to hear that. How did you try getting a hold of support? If you tried to email our support address, it get filtered unless you're in the database as a current customer.
