Service/Host Obsession

Hi All
We are using the Nagios XI 5.2.3 appliance.
When I use the Configuration Wizards to add a new Host/Services to Nagios the options "Host/Service Obsession" gets enabled (see screenshot 1).
As you can see on the screenshot 2, the "Obsession" options is turned off Nagios wide.
1. What counts now.
2. How do I make sure that using the Configuration Wizard the option "Host/Service Obsession" does not get enabled.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Cheers,

Does this happen for every single service you try to add across multiple hosts, or is it a particular one? I am wondering if you have this turned on in a template somewhere.

It happens to every single service on multiple host, snmp, nsclient or nrpe.
But it is even stranger...
Below an extract of the config file. As you can see, there is nothing configured for "obsession".
define service {
host_name csvdb119
service_description CPU Usage
use xiwizard_windowsserver_nsclient_service
servicegroups Prio-B-Service
check_command check_xi_service_nsclient!mNl3228-Qnj-GP!CPULOAD!-l 5,85,90
max_check_attempts 3
check_interval 5
retry_interval 5
check_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
notification_interval 60
notification_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
contact_groups sysadmins
_xiwizard windowsserver
register 1
}
This reflects the screenshot1 where you can see that the options "obsession" is skipped.
But as you can see on screenshot2 from Nagios XI GUI the "obsession" option is "green".
This is very confusing.

Can we see the definition for xiwizard_windowsserver_nsclient_service?

Here we go:
It looks like it is in the generic-service definition.
And that means just everywhere now
I did not change anything in here. Why is that default out of the box?

What you have setup is identical to the test system I have here.
Can you please run this command and send us the output:
Can you upload the file:
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
In this file:
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat
Under the

Because it's turned off globablly in nagios.cfg, the settings in the services are not used, even though they are enabled.
If you wanted to turn it of, edit the template and disable it.
- CCM

Edit the template xiwizard_generic_service
Check Settings tab
Obsess over services = skip
