Change IP addresses for all servers

RHEL 6.x
NagiosXI 5.6.12
VMWare

We're migrating servers to another VLAN, in mass. Is there a way - MySQL query maybe - to update all IP addresses at once?

The easiest way to do this would probably be by interacting with the API. If you navigate to the Help section ( url: [XI server IP address]/nagiosxi/help/ ), you should see an Objects Reference page detailing the various objects you can query from your servers. The agent can output either XML or JSON data.

If you had a list of IP addresses for the servers, something like the bash script example below could then iterate through the command for various servers.

Code: Select all

for $SERVER in $(cat $LIST);
do
    [ COMMAND ];
done;
