PDF Report Creation

[disrael]

We are using Siteminder on our system and it is great, until we find that something new that we didn't know about prior. Doing certain actions in Nagios appears to require the server to access itself. We have dealt with this in the past, by putting an exception for the pages Nagios is trying to access. If we don't nagios will hang and fail as it will get a request to authenticate, instead of an expected page. We just started using PDFs from the Report tool. Would you guys happen to have a list of files Nagios tries to access when it generates the PDF reports? We ran into the same problem when click "apply config", but we fixed it by using exceptions.

Kind Regards,

Doron

The report generation is done via wktohtml which is something nagios accesses on it's local system. There is probably more, but I need to do some digging to find it. Just wanted to get an answer out to you in case you need to start working on this immediately.

Thanks for the reply, any idea when we can get a list of files or should we try tracking this down ourselves?

Because XI had the ability to take any Page in the UI and make it a PDF report, the answer would be all of them...

In your case, you may want to add exceptions to the specific reports you want to allow.
