send Nagvis MAP daily auto via Email

Post by zaji_nms »

Dear Expert

FYI, link down/up notification going out perfectly via email from Nagios/NMS server.

We want to send Nagvis MAP to someone automatically on daily basis via Email in morning hours, how possible to do this?

the intention behind this, he/she wants to see all links status graphically UP/DOWN (green/red) as below.

URL : http://10.20.30.40/nagvis/frontend/nagv ... ites-Links

please note Nagvis opens when providing username and password (requires authentication)

regards

With Nagios XI Enterprise Edition, you can schedule the page

Code: Select all

http://10.20.30.40/nagvis/frontend/nagvis-js/index.php?mod=Map&act=view&show=My-Sites-Links
by clicking Schedule Page link from the "hamburger" drop-down menu in the upper-right corner. The user who receives the email can click on the URL to access the page (and authenticate if needed).

Let us know if this helped.

I haven't been able to reproduce the issue in-house. What is the Nagios XI version that you are currently using?


Can you try loading the page (scheduling the report), then tail the apache error log, and show the output?

Code: Select all

tail /var/log/httpd/error_log

dear lmiltchev

XI 5.2.3 (looks having some bug , has been fixed later)

no log at all

# tail /var/log/httpd/error_log
[Thu Sep 05 09:30:38 2019] [error] [client 10.10.10.10] File does not exist: /var/www/html/includes, referer: http://10.20.30.40/nagiosxi/index.php?
# date

I tried some other pages and its okay, looks issue with URL itself, as having "Question mark" or "Ampersand" or "Equal sign" in it.
http://10.20.30.40/nagvis/frontend/nagv ... ites-Links

sure there is way, from CLI can be add this in two-three steps, appreciate your guidance

This is correct. Initially, I didn't know what version of Nagios XI you've been using, so I tried to recreate the issue in Nagios XI 5.6.6. After I found out that you were using Nagios XI 5.2.3, I tried it in this version, and can confirm that there is a bug with scheduling a NagVis page. I would recommend that you upgrade your Nagios XI instance to the latest in order to resolve the issue. The one that you are using is quite old. There are numerous bug fixes and added functionality in newer versions of XI.

Dear lmiltchev

I tried with my friend (XI 5.4.2), however not sending report as PDF attachment

Tactical Overview (able to send as attachment and showing perfectly)
Graph Explorer (sending with attachment but the graph with horizon bars are not showing, attachment not correct)
Any Nagvis Map (not sending any attachment)

Can you please do a favor on your latest (XI 6.x.x), can you plz try different pages (above) as "My Scheduled Reports" , select option send as PDF attachment and let me know if sending as attachment and plz open attachment, the attached showing perfectly?

Note : Please make sure, Nagvis need authentication and please clear cache and check from Mozilla and Chrome both browsers.

When I tested scheduling a NagVis page, I opened the report URL (from the email) into the same browser (that I was logged in), so I was able to view the report just fine. However, opening the link in a different browser didn't work - I was taken to the Nagios XI login page. The PDF also shows the login page. I am sorry about my previous post. I should've tried this in a new browser. :( It seems like it is not possible to schedule a NagVis page at the moment, even in the latest version of Nagios XI. I filed an internal bug report on the issue (task_id=14428). I also filed a bug report on scheduling a Graph Explorer page, as the graph gets distorted (task_id=14429). The "Tactical Overview" page scheduled fine.
