Nagios XI - multiple user building monitoring

[dbcummings]

Hello,

We are still new to Nagios/Nagios XI. So, this is a pretty basic question. When a new monitor is created or changes are made, we apply the new configuration. What happens if multiple people are building monitoring at the same time? Will there be a conflict if changes are being applied at the same time or overlapping? We are trying to figure out if we need a schedule as to when folks can build and deploy monitoring.

What happens if multiple people are building monitoring at the same time?

Generally speaking all changes will take effect.

The only caveat to this is if multiple people are actually changing the same exact object (host/service/template) in which case, the last change would win once the Apply Configuration happens

I am going to add one more thing here.

If someone does something that causes the configuration to not be able to verify during the Apply configuration process, everyone would continue to see the error when they try to Apply Configuration. This will continue until the problem is resolved, and then ALL of the changes made leading up to that time would take affect on the next successful Apply Configuration.
