Manually selecting switch ports via the Wizard in XI

Post by lorejo »

Hi, we are using NagiosXI/5.5.2 and the associated Wizard to add new switches for monitoring. We want to be able to select certain bandwidth and status services from the list of discovered instances for inclusion within this particular host. We start by un-checking all discovered instances on the top for the three categories. We then select the services desired and continue. This works fine but not all selected interfaces are populated.
We then try and go through the wizard again to add the interfaces/services that didn't populate on the first pass. This does not work. Can someone please shed some light? We need this procedure because we have a lot of chassis based switches and there certain interfaces that either go up-down that we don't care about and new up-links are or new line cards are periodically added.

Thanks.

If you are querying switches/routers with a lot of ports you are going to need to make a change to your /etc/php.ini

Add the following to the end of /etc/php.ini

Code: Select all

max_input_vars=100000
Then restart httpd

Code: Select all

service httpd restart
Now if you re-run the wizard it should work properly.
