Hello,

Can someone please tell me if there are any limitations of Switch monitoring wizard provided in NagiosXI

Here is the issue I am running into.
I have a switch stack of Cisco 3750x switches consisting of 4 switches. After running the switch discovery I noticed that I am missing many ports that have a UP Status. Do you think this is due to number of services that are being created due to this stack.

I have already followed steps provided in following link to clean up before adding the stack again.

Please assist.

There shouldn't be a limitation to number of switches added... If you do it one at a time do they all show correctly?

Its a stack so no I can't do it individually.
But there definitely is an issue in this case.

When I run Switch monitoring wizard and select all of the ports, it doesn't add all the ports.
If I pick and choose few of the ports that weren't added by running the wizard again, I can add those.
If you can tell me the number of ports / checks that can be added with wizard it would be very beneficial.

I can dig deeper in to it, but first it will help if we know what version of Nagios XI you are running (lower lefthand corner of your screen) and what version of the config wizard you have (Admin > System Extensions > Manage Config Wizards)

NagiosXI 5.2.3
Network Switch / Router version : 2.1.9

Another couple questions - how big is your stack of switches? I am wondering if it is truncating at some point, causing it not to pick up all of the interfaces. When you run the wizard, does it stop at the same interface every time?

I have 4 switches in the stack (48 ports each) and yes it does stop at same number of checks. The total number of checks configured after running the wizard is 211. This number (211) is combination of Status & Bandwidth.

Do you get any information logged in /var/log/httpd/error_log after running the wizard?

Should I send you the log via PM ?

Yeah, PM it on over to one of us and let us know once you've done so.

EDIT: log received.
