Nagios Support Forum

Hi All,

i've a little problem with the possibility to check if a new update exist for my NagiosXi 1.7 server .. certainly because i'm using a proxy ..

I read lot of topics about the setting so ...i did :

added setting in yum.conf > yum is now working when i try to retreive package
added settings in wgetrc file > wget is now able to retreive data from internet
executed this command line : pear config-set http_proxy 'http://withmyproxyadress:8080'

restarted completely my server and i've already this error message below
FYI : when i installed NagiosXI server i'had not proxy.

Someone could help me ?

Bye and thank for your help

We may have a bug in R1.7. We will try to find a solution/workaround and apply it in R1.8.

Hello,

ok nice ... when could we expect have this new version ?

We will be releasing a preview of 2011R1.8 at the end of the week or early next week and the final release will happen shortly after.

I'm currently working on testing a fix for the update check on a proxy system. Would you be willing to test the updates in your environment?

yes for sure, i've a testing environnement ... i should appreciate testing it for you ..

Here's a zip with the patched scripts. Just download the zip to your /tmp directory on the Nagios XI server and run the following:
And then from there if you access the Admin->Manage System Config page you can specify an http proxy tunnel. Enter your proxy address and then access the Admin->Check For Updates page and let me know if it works ; )

If something goes terribly wrong, you can reverse the patch with:

ok so now i've the possibility to set proxy tunel but my first question is :

where have i to set credentials for proxy authentication ?

and my second question is i can't save server adresse .. see message below on the screenshot attached

where have i to set credentials for proxy authentication ?

Ah, yes, credentials. I will probably have another patch coming your way ; )

and my second question is i can't save server adresse .. see message below on the screenshot attached

You can fix the error message with: What version of XI is that test box?

maybe i should wait a bit that you write the new patch ... and i installed a Nagios XI 1.7 version .
