service_check_timeout_state not supported in Nagios XI ?

Post by DennisPR »

The setting service_check_timeout_state was added to Nagios Core in version 3.4.0. according to http://www.nagios.org/projects/nagiosco ... ry/core-3x
It works perfect on my Nagios Core test system but I can't seem to get it to work on Nagios XI
I have tried to manually add this setting to the nagios.cfg of my Nagios XI 2012R2.1 server (that uses Nagios Core 3.5) and services that time out still go to a critical state :(

Is the settings service_check_timeout_state=u not supported in Nagios XI ?

I do not believe it is supported, you should have core 3.5.0 installed with that version of nagios XI, though this may be something that is blocked out as it may not play nice with the differences between XI and Core.

I do have Nagios Core 3.5 running within the Nagios XI 2012R2.1.
How can I figure out it this setting is "blocked" ?

If you added:

Code: Select all

service_check_timeout_state=u
to your XI server's nagios.cfg, restarted nagios, and it still doesn't work, it may not be supported by XI yet.
Please open a feature request at tracker.nagios.com to support this new configuration option.
