View Status Information or Nagios Core "inside" Nagios XI

[JumpingSnake]

Good Morning,
I'm writing about an issue that might be against the principles of Nagios XI and appears to have been discussed many times before: The size of the Status Information for services. We use the Dell OMSA check for our fleet of Dell servers, and while the plugin is retrieving all of the data, Nagios XI isn't returning it.
In this thread: http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... ize#p26356, it appears that we find out that Nagios XI will only allow so much information into the Status Information area because of website appearance. Therefore, I'll ask two questions:

1) Is it possible to "break" this Nagios XI webpage look in order to get the full return?

2) Is it possible to view the entire site "outside" of Nagios Xi and back in Nagios Core? The reason I ask the 2nd question is that I found the link here:

which then opened up this:

Is is possible to get a page like with with all of the hosts in a hostgroup on it? I tried manipulating the URL for a hostgroup, but it wouldn't show me the details for the hosts, only the colorful overview panes.

Don't get me wrong, I love the Nagios XI layout! The wizards and GUI-like approach to Nagios is great, but I'd like to get at that information and I'm just trying to figure out how. Thanks!

You could create a new page, linked through the notes_url option/link in XI to display the entirety of the multi-line output. In order to do this, you should refer to the developer guidelines mentioned in the other thread.

Ok, I'll read up over there and report back once I have some answers. Thanks!

For the first question, yes Nagios XI only returns the first 3 lines of output without viewing the service details through clicking on the service. This can be extended by doing something similar to this:

Also, you can view everything via Nagios Core whilst still being able to move over to XI and run wizards, modify config files, view reports, etc.. You can log directly into core by replacing your web address:

Code: Select all

http://nagios.server.ip/nagiosxi

With:

Code: Select all

http://nagios.server.ip/nagios

Ah, using the <ip>/nagios is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
