Hi,

I have configured a couple of Dashboards for Scheduled PDF Reporting. This seems like a good way of having a point in time archive of the system that we can distribute amongst our team and potentially clients to show the state of the system.

The dashboard I have has the following dashlets on it:

Host status Summary
Service Status Summary
Status Summary for all host groups
Monitoring Engine Event Queue
Available Updates
XI System Component Status

The dashobard renders fine on the screen when viewed interactively, but the scheduled report fails to generate. We either get no email, or we get an email very late with the following in the body:

Code: Select all

This scheduled report was automatically generated by Nagios XI and sent to you as requested by nagiosadmin (FNZ-Ultimo Nagios Admin).

You can directly access this report at:

Hope you can advise if we should grab any logs for you or should we just reboot it as is.

Cheers,

KB.

What do you have in the "Program URL" and "External URL" fields under "System Settings" (Admin->Manage System Config)?

Run the following command and show the output:
