Object Notes - Upload information

Post by rajasegar »

Nagios XI 2012R2.9
RHEL 6.5 x64
Manual Install
Offloaded DB

I have installed the Object Notes components to store miscellaneous info about the host and services.
Since I have large number of hosts & services, I cannot go be going into each one of them and updating the info.

Can anyone please advice if there is any way to upload this information?
BTW, where is the notes stored?

Thanks.

The safest way is to do in in the GUI. Otherwise, the info is stored in the postgres databse. You can view the notes by running in terminal:

Code: Select all

echo 'select * from xi_options;' | psql nagiosxi nagiosxi | grep objectnotes
We don't recommend modifying anything directly in the database, though as you can break XI.

Thanks for the info. I will test this out in Dev and see how it goes.
