Sorry I am not sure what you mean. All I did was run the discovery, and I can no longer apply any configurations as XI picks up these files that are placed in the nagios folder. I can't add any addition service checks (UCS or not) unless I remove the whole folder.

Try changing all occurences of:
Code: Select all
"UCS admins"
To:
Code: Select all
UCS admins
Then try to verify

I'm still digging through the plugin to figure out where those quotes get added for a fix.

Did you do that?

Apologies. I scrolled past that part. I edited the two files and removed the quotes. I am now able to apply configurations.

Great! Is it safe to close the topic and mark it as resolved?

Oh, I see, when you installed the plugin it asks for you to provide the contact group name and you must've entered "UCS Admins" with the quotes instead of just UCS Admins, should be fixed permanently now when you made those changes.

You can try another autodiscovery to see if it breaks again.

I will rerun the setup, since it is specified during the plugin installation. Looking back at my installation notes, you are correct. Quotation marks were used.

A related question to confirm what I am doing is right - After I run the discovery, even though it puts the files in the /usr/local/nagios/etc folder, all the configurations has to be imported via the XI method? Nothing actually shows in XI until I import. However, there are some xml files, which I dont know where to put these or import....

Yeah, if you want them in the XI CCM then you will need to import them.

If you don't care about them being in the XI CCM then you could always have them output to /usr/local/nagios/etc/static.

the hostextinfo.cfg file - does this get imported as wel? If so when should that be imported?
.xml files - are these required?

Thanks

So I went and import the cfg starting with cmd.cfg. It errored with the following complaining that it is a duplicate for the command?

When you are doing the import, are you selecting the option to overwrite database?

We don't have any UCS servers to test that plugin on here so I'm not sure what those files contain. You could always zip up your /usr/local/nagios/etc/cisco directory and PM it to me so I can take a look at what those contain.
