Can't find a check in Nagios XI Interface

[vmesquita]

We identified the Nagios XI Server making snmp checks to a server which has been deactivated:

172.27.5.37 is the Nagios Server and 172.27.16.122 is the server.

However, I can't find a host with this IP at Nagios XI interface. I have no idea where this service or host check is located. I also tried checking DNS entries for this IP but there are none.

How can I find it?

You can try:

Code: Select all

grep -R '172.27.16.122' /usr/local/nagios/etc/*
grep -R 'somednsname' /usr/local/nagios/etc/*

More than likely though, you'll find the config here:

Code: Select all

/etc/mrtg/conf.d

The switch/router wizard uses MRTG (which use SNMP, please look there as well) and let us know the results.

I was able to find it here:

Code: Select all

/etc/mrtg/conf.d

Thanks!

As a suggestion, wouldn't be better if the file was removed when the check is removed? Maybe it could be an improvement for future versions.

They initially did add it in there but they removed it (after about 2 weeks) because it had/caused issues.
