How to monitor default services in Configuration Wizard

[michael-darro]

Hey All,

Just editing this post as I ended up working out how to do default services in Configuration Wizard.

What I'm trying to work is is how to add a Server Uptime when using a Configuration Wizard. So far I've been able to add the the check command and I can see it's working correctly as I've created a check for the local nagios server.

Now what I'm after is editing the Configuration Wizard to add this check. My goal is that staff use the configuration wizard when adding a new server or device and I think its always good to know the uptime of a device.

I've gotten as far has the picture but don't know how the check command and what GUI marry together to actually get the check to work

Hopefully I've explained it well enough but any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Michael

Hi,

We discourage people from modifying the code as it creates a non-standard install, and we do
not support it.

Sorry

Hi,

Thanks ok.

Then my question will change to how to have an uptime check on all my Windows and Linux servers by default?

As I said what I'm trying to avoid is the team forgetting to add a check.

Thanks in advanced,
Michael

Hi,

It all depends on how you set things up and how you add servers. There is a lot of flexibility
with host templates and host groups.

For example you could create a host template that contains the check_uptime command, called
say uptime_host.

Then you could edit the existing xiwizard_ncpa_host template to use your uptime_host template. Now
everytime you add a host via the ncpa wizard it will inherit the check_uptime command. However, if
someone manually added a host via the CCM, that host wouldn't get the check_uptime command.

You could have hostgroup called all_servers, and have that linked to your uptime_host template. But
your users would be required to put every host that gets added into the all_servers hostgroip.

Thanks
