Connect to host methods

Post by Sandeep_Patil »

Hi Team,

Can we add connect to host methods.

Currently connect to host method for remote having RDP, VNC, Telent and SSH.

We want to add one more method for take a remote of host using Dameware, please suggest for the same.

Thanks,
Sandeep Patil.

You can add a button to execute code or go to a URL using the 'Actions' component built into Nagios XI. I don't know how your particular piece of software works, but if you can use a url such as Dameware://172.16.0.1 to access the device, you can add a button to do it. The actions component can be found under Admin > System Extensions > Manage Components. https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=204

Will check with Action component, but store this Dameware.exe file to trigger action.

I'm sorry, could you rephrase what you're asking?

If the dameware is an executable file, I'm not sure what good it will do to have it on your Nagios XI server.

You could do something such as link to it in the browser, but I do not know the specifics of your piece of software.

Maybe try using a URL like this:

Code: Select all

file:///C:\Program Files\damware\dameware.exe
^^^^^this is just an example, I have never heard of nor used dameware.

Maybe read through this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4670 ... -a-website

This is getting pretty close to outside of the realm of something that we can support. Hopefully I've left you with some ideas that make this possible.
