Forking a configuration wizard into a custom one

[tonyleatwork]

Hi -

I want to copy and customize the Windows WMI configuration wizard and change the default thresholds and add some additional alerts. I've done this before but the later version of Nagios XI overwrote it.

I'm hoping separate wizard will keep my changes safe in the future. I cant seem to figure out how to create a copy of the wizard under a different name - can someone help me create "Windows WMI ADI" wizard? I'm running the latest available Nagios XI release.

Hello, @tonyleatwork. You could go to the admin menu in XI, then System Extensions --> Manage Config Wizards. Find the wizard in the list and then click on download button next to it. Save a copy of it somewhere safe and then you're good to modify it. You should be able to change the wizard name in windowswmi.inc.php file. When done you can just upload it in the same web interface using Upload&Install.
Another way would be to a)create a backup and b)open this folder in ssh session: /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/configwizards/windowswmi and modify the source files from here. That way you'll be able to see changes live in XI as you make them(not always guaranteed to work).
Here's the wizard development reference: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf
And here's a simple wizard example that you can also use as a reference https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/A ... rd/details
