Adding services/plugins to exisitng hosts on Nagios XI

[majoradhd]

Hello Everyone,

I'm having trouble integrating nagios/otrs on our system.
We came to the conclusion that we are just going to use the Nagios XI API
to add command services to our OTRS.

Please do not post this link in attempt to help me: https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/P ... pl/details

Appreciate any help.

To be more detailed my team is trying to monitor open/closed RAW tickets from OTRS in the NAGIOS XI system

When you upload a plugin to the server, it does not create a command, you will have to do that by going to the Core COnfig Manager > Commands menu and create a command.
The simplest thing is to copy an existing command and edit the copy.

Run the plugin with the --help option, and it will show you the options to run it.

I don't know if that that command-line is just an example but I tried using it and it did not work.
any thoughts?

What is the error that you are receiving?

[majoradhd]

I'm having specific problems with check_otrs.php any ideas?

Error_reporting (0) ;
Reporting 0 new/open tickets. This is the problem...

[tgriep]

Are all of the arguments correct when you run the command?
Have you verified that the data exists in the MYSQL database?

[majoradhd]

I figured it out!
Thank you for all your help
