Nagios XI 5 Open Beta - Download Available

[scottwilkerson]

Edit: I love you Scott!

- Added ability for users to just save config to database without Applying Configuration when running wizards -SW

It was your idea, I just implemented it....

The one item I didn't see in the changelog that you may want to mention:

The new setting for nagios.cfg file to auto reschedule service checks for hosts in a down state(The Trevor Nagios Core patch). Some people may have waited for it to officially come in XI and not patch, so they would need to know.

I'll think about how to word this, but XI 5 does have Core 4.1.1 which does include that...

For those people not following the conversation, XI 5 contains an upgrade to Nagios Core, which includes these additional updates

Include the changelog of Core 4.1.1 ?

Very curious at how

Added new REST API with objects, config, and system sections which allows adding host/services

is working.. Does this mean http://outsideit.net/naf-reconfigure-na ... ostgroups/ will become obsolete?

You beat me to the post by like 15 seconds :)

This will still work, but we are working toward an actual API to make the calls, in addition to leaving the ability to use what you have created for Reactor...

Nice work by the way...

The REST API only has basic functionality right now but it allows passing all variables you normally would if you did a define host { } in the core configs.

Well to be honest this script I released on the Exchange to reconfigure hostgroups is just one small part of more scripts. I have a giant PS script making a complete Nagios inventory ,reconfiguring each host's hostgroups automatically, so they each have the actual location, os, infrastructure, priority and role hostgroup, the correct services and templates, nsclient version, config, eventlog exclusions and more.
I'll have to watch this new api closely to make sure I'm not wasting my time working on stuff that will exist in some near future...

[WillemDH]

- Updated all reports to now use asynchronous loading of report information -JO
- Updated all reports to have a new layout -JO
- Added numbers of saved reports and scheduled reports to left hand menu section -JO

I really hope this means I can start using reports, as currently I have to run a report three times in order to be able to export to pdf AND running a report chokes my XI server..
This will be hard to test on my QA though, as it doesn't have that many hosts.

I can see this is going to become a very confusing thread soon. Would it be possible to have a new invite-only forum group created for the Beta so topic threads can be kept together?
