Using proxy in Nagios Xi

[Bogdan_B]

Hi,

My Nagios Xi is trying to contact directly to Internet for 50.116.21.73:80 (Nagios Xi website ) and I would like to use proxy for this. I put my proxy in CentOS system and I modified /etc/yum.conf and /etc/wgetrc with my proxy but no success.

Kind regards,
Bogdan

The following is a component that allows the update check to work for *most* proxy systems.

You'll need to set your http_proxy environment variable, since the request uses curl underneath the hood to check for updates. Here's a decent tutorial on setting that up. Note that we don't support proxy setup itself, you'll ultimately be responsible to get that aspect working correctly.

Hi,

Thank you for the answer. So, the traffic which was identified between my Nagios and 50.116.21.73:80 (Nagios Xi website ) is only to check for new updates right? If so, can I stop somehow ? I would like to do this manually.

Cheers,
Bogdan

Go to Admin->Manage System Config, and clear the "Automatically Check for Updates" check-mark box.

Hope this helps.
