In service Definition view more than 8 ARGS

Post by nagiosEngie »

Hello Nagios Crew,
is there some configuration parameter that allows me to view in a service definition more than 8 ARGS ($ARGS1$, $ARGS2$ etc.).
I have read the solution of putting all in one ARGS but the wizard (dell openmanger wizard) is using more than 8 ARGS and I cannot view them.

Thanks

What version of XI are you running, you can grab it from the bottom left hand side of the web interface.

Hello Sam,
I am running version 5.5.6.

Can you explain what you mean?

Attached image to clarify what I mean.

Thanks

We can add additional fields to the CCM in one of the future versions of Nagios XI, but for the time being I would recommend that you put more than one argument in a field (as a "workaround").

Example:

Code: Select all

$ARG6$   --http.port=443 --http.timeout=30 --http.retries=1

So I guess I will have to wait.
The problem is that some plugins like the DELL idrac checks use more than the available fields so more than 8 $ARGS$ are very usefull.
This can be closed.
