how to replace HOST Manage-Template

Post by zaji_nms »

Dear Expert

NagiosXi 5.2.x
Centos 6.x.x

when we started Nagios in Year-2013, when we added devices (HOSTs), i found now that
Manage Template is = generic_host

define host {
host_name my-old-host-1
use generic-host

and what i observed that when this HOST goes down, not showing alert in OPERATIONS CENTERS

some new we adding, showing as below and some i replaced "generic-host" to "xiwizard_switch_host"

define host {
host_name my-new-host-2
use xiwizard_switch_host

as many host , many many host never down, and me OFF duty, unable to say with 100% surety ..... but in general i found that if Host added with Manage Template : generic-host, not showing DOWN in Home Operations Centers

is there any quick way to fix this issue or any quick way to replace : Manage-Template = generic-host to xiwizard_switch_host ?

Hi,
How are you doing?
You can use the "Bulk Modifications Tool" to make template changes assigned to your host(s).

Open Nagios XI GUI > Configure > Core Config Manager

Please follow the attached pictures:

Please remember to "Save Changes" and do "Apply Configureation".


Best Regards,
Vinh
