Nagios XI and i-doit integration

[skunk64]

Hello,

I'm looking for any information on integrating Nagios XI and i-doit tool, any documentation (in english) on how to and such.

i-doit provides a connection to the popular monitoring application Nagios, which enables controlling of the monitoring configuration as well as collecting and assigning monitoring data and the corresponding objects in i-doit. For the latter, the interface supports the quasi standards Livestatus and NDOUtils, which many Nagios derivatives and appliances benefit from.

Thanks.

As this is third party software not maintained by anyone who reads these forums regularly, I would highly recommend contacting the vendor. If i-doit were open source, I might be able to offer better insights into what it's doing.

According to the official documentation:
https://kb.i-doit.com/display/de/Nagios

It appears as if you configure your Nagios URL like so: http://<your_nagios_host>/nagios/status.cgi?host=, then feed it credentials for that URL in some other discrete field/setting. In terms of the configuration management offered by i-doit, I have no insights to offer other than that it appears to possess such functionality. Again, you'd probably get better answers from the vendor.

It does appear something called i-doit is AGPL. I was able to find https://github.com/Finkregh/i-doit/tree ... les/nagios . It's a bit concerning that there haven't been any updates in 4 years though.

It points to https://www.i-doit.org/download/ which is a different website, but it may be a similar situation to nagios.com and nagios.org.

Ultimately, @mcapra is probably right about you needing to contact i-doit. That's not to say we can't try to help, but we are starting from scratch on the i-doit side.

Many thanks for information, we'll start by contacting vendor probably.

with what i'm seeing, there has been a lot of push to integrate CI/CMDB applications with all sorts of tools - it looks like they have an API so some digging in should help you.

the ultimate question then becomes, what are you looking to achieve by this?

you could use certain custom variables in Nagios, to match up with your CMDB which would allow you to manage certain 'object IDs' across the board. https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=509 - one use case would be running all of your monitoring / config management software dependent on this vary database so that you know all objects are being monitored.
