Notes tab in Host Status Details

[ockmeyer]

Where is the information entered on the "Notes" tab of the Host Status Detail page in Nagios XI stored? We have nearly 1000 hosts and I would like to export that information.

[slansing]

We do not have a export feature for this however that information is stored in the postgres database. I would not recommend fiddling around with it though.

Darn - - I wanted to duplicate that data on another instance of Nagios XI without having to touch every host.

If I could request a feature update, it would be to have a simple way of getting information about contacts into the Notes field. We have NOC employees that don't have access to the core.

it certainly won't be in the best format but you may be able to extract it with this

Code: Select all

echo "select * from xi_options where name like 'objectnotes%';"|psql nagiosxi nagiosxi

[ockmeyer]

That script works well. I have to massage it a bit as you indicated, but it is usable.

[slansing]

Good to hear, did you get the information you were after?

[ockmeyer]

I did. Now I have to try and turn it around and import it into our other instance of Nagios XI.
