Outbound Transfers: NRDP, configration not being saved

Post by VinceVDC »

I have been trying to configure an outbound transfer on Nagios XI using the Outbound Check Transfer Settings page. It appears the the configuration is not being saved.

There 2 different results.
If I check enable NRDP ouput and define a target host or if I just check the enable NRDP output box I receive an error" "You must specify at least one target NRDP host."

If the Enable NRDP Output box is not checked and I specify a target host I receive a settings updated message.

In either case when I navigate back to the setting page it's blank.

What file is the configuration stored in? The documentation isn't very clear in that regard. I'd like to try manually configuring the settings to see if the GUI is the issue. I'm running Nagios XI version 2011R1.8

Thanks

Solved: Outbound Transfers: NRDP, configration not being sav

Post by VinceVDC »

We're testing Nagios XI using the VM systems. Those systems, by default, have the ports blocked by the iptables firewall (Why????)

The fix I discovered was to disable the firewall on the "inbound" system. This doesn't explain why NRDP (which runs on port 80) is being blocked while access to the Web GUI was allowed.

Since the guest VM is running CentOS here are the commands:
service iptables save
service iptables stop
chkconfig iptables off

service ip6tables save
service ip6tables stop
chkconfig ip6tables off

To restore the firewall:
chkconfig ip6tables on
service ip6tables start

chkconfig iptables on
service iptables start
