NagiosXI "check_eva.py" messed up with all other hosts

[infojami]

Hi,

I am able to run the "check_eva.py" in command line and it works just fine. However, when I put this in Nagios for monitoring, this service check configuration (example: EVA Disks Status) start adding to all the hosts. We monitor approx 200 hosts in NagiosXI and after 15MIN; the new EVA configuration (EVA Disks Status) added itself to all other hosts as a service. I mean the new "EVA Disk Status" service become appear in each and every hosts.

Any suggestion would be highly appreciate.

Open the service in Configure -> CCM -> Services -> Modify (EVA Disks Status)

Make sure you only have hosts you want it on selected. Also, unselect any housgroups that are added.

Save
Apply configuration

Hi Scott,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, it is now working. The trick was don't select any "hostgroup" for this check_eva.py script.

However, we usually select hostgroup(s) for our Linux/Windows based service monitoring and that works fine; this doesn't messed up (appeared in) with other hosts.

Appreciate your help.
