Custom scripts transfer

Post by Polydipsia »

I have some custom scripts that I need to move from our old core system to the new XI server.
I have placed them in /usr/local/nagios/libexec/ and I can run the check successfully on the command line with no issues.
But when I try to create a service in XI using the CCM I cannot find that in the list. And I did confirm that it is Admin --> manage plugins.
Am I putting the shell script in the wrong location? Is XI not pulling in for some reason?

Hello @Polydipsia,

After the plugins have been successfully added to the XI server, commands still need to be defined, just like in Core. In Configure -> Core Config Manager -> Commands, one can add new commands from those plugins and define them with the same syntax as Core configs.

Here is some documentation that elaborates on this further.

Let me know if you have any other questions,

- Emmett
