Hi,

Just a quick question when you disable the host/services is it still affecting the report like SLA and Availability if the disabled hosts/services are in a non-ok state?

[scottwilkerson]

By disabling do you mean stopping active checks? If so, it would remain in the state it is in and that would be reflected in the reports.

If instead you mean making it inactive in the CCM, then the host/service would no longer show in the interface or any reports.

[sagesoft]

Yes I mean if you make in inactive in the CCM.

Just also want to add this scenario:

You have a two ISP's connected to a load balancer and you want to monitor each public IP using ping check. When 1 ISP's public IP goes to non-ok state, so technically your internet connection still ok since you still have 1 ISP still running, what solution can you recommend to solve this scenario so that it will not affect your report in the SLA, Availability and other reports?

Thank you @ scottwilkerson

For this scenario you would likely want to create your own plugin which can check each of these and return the results.

I would have directed you to just use BPI, but you would still need to monitor each of the links separately and have BPI create the aggregated view.

It might actually be easier to monitor a known highly stable IP on the internet such as 8.8.8.8

Thanks for this. Is there a BPI report that can be extracted in Nagios XI?

[scottwilkerson]

You can create an emailed report from any page in XI, so you can add BPI dashlets to a dashboard and then schedule the page as a report
