Nagios XI update IP's

Post by askewdread »

Hi,

our network guys are wanting to lock down what IP's our nagios server can talk to on the internet, but from what i can see the update checker talks to a few different IP's

am i able to get a list of all the IP's the check for updates / downloading updates system uses?

thanks

Nagios XI "talks" to assets.nagios.com, api.nagios.com, and maybe repo.nagios.com.

Have you tried disabling the "automatic" check for updates? Go to Admin > System Settings, clear the "Automatically Check for Updates" check-box under the "General" tab, and click on "Update Settings".

Hey,

thanks for that.... I don't want to disable the automatic checking for updates, I just need to give them the IP's involved so they can allow them :)

assets.nagios.com and the others from what I see goto multiple IP's so is there a way I can get the list they goto?

There should be only 2 IPs that Nagios "talks" to...

Code: Select all

72.14.181.71
for assets.nagios.com and repo.nagios.com
and

Code: Select all

50.116.21.73
for api.nagios.com.

Did you mean a "couple of IPs" when you said "multiple IP's"? Do you see any other IPs besides these two?
