Business Procdss Intelligence groups in Nagvis

[tbyrne]

Can business process intelligence groups be added to Nagvis? How?

Nagios XI 5 ver 2.3 Enterprise
Nagvis version 1.8.5
CentOS 6.7

Can you provide more clarification in to what you're looking to achieve?

I need to create a BI group and add that group on to a Nagvis map. I have found documents on how to do this with a check_mk NEB but not from the BI provided by Nagios XI.
I am looking for simple instructions on setting up the connections from Nagios XI BI to Nagvis 1.8.5 if its possible.

I am using Nagios XI 5.2.3 enterprise on a virtual CentOS 6.7 image running on Vmware ESXi server.

Thanks for the help

Check_MK BI is not the same as BPI in Nagios XI. Currently, I don't know of any way for adding BPI groups to NagVis. Our developers are planning on upgrading NagVis in one of the future releases of Nagios XI, but I am not aware of any plans for BPI-NagVis integration.

I did a sync in the business process section and then was able to see the bpi groups in nagvis.

Ah, so you were able to get it working then?

Yes I can add the business processes to the Nagvis maps.
I do have one problem that I don't see a way of correcting.

I have about 400 systems that all require the same checks. I created a template applied the required checks and applied it to the host group.
Applying the checks this way causes none of the check show up in Business process so I can create rules.

I do not want to apply the 4 checks individually to the 400 systems. occasionally systems will be removed and different ones added. I wanted to make this process as easy for the local admins as possible.

Is there a any way to get the template checks to show up in BI?

Thanks,

I'll do some testing versus this one, and let you know what I find out. I assume we probably have a good feature request here.
