Federated Nagios XI - Solution in comments

[kevinmjacobsen]

Hi all,

Environment - Nagios XI 5.4.3
Linux Distribution and version? CentOS
32 or 64bit? 64bit
VMware Image or Manual Install of XI? OVA
Are there special configurations on your system, ie; is Gnome installed? Are you using a proxy? Are you using SSL? Proxy yes

1 Federated "Hub" inbound inbound NRDP server
12 outbound NRDP Nagios XI systems monitoring about 500 hosts/each.

There are two issues I guess I'd like some guidance on for this setup.

1 - Number of unconfigured objects is so large we can't select all and configure (get a URI to long apache message). We'd love to have a CLI method or API method to quickly add the hosts. GUI locks up even if you add one unconfigured objects. We are setting these to - Don't send any notifications and only Myself for notification. Then we click finish.

2 - Even when adding a few at a time we are not seeing update to hosts or service status summary numbers.

Any guidance or help is greatly appreciated.

There is not a way to add the unconfigured objects to the system using the API of CLI, it is a manual process.

The URI too long error can be fixed by editing the following file on the Nagios server

Code: Select all

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Add this line to the bottom of that file.

Code: Select all

LimitRequestLine 100000

Save the file and restart the Apache process by running

Code: Select all

service httpd restart

That should fix both of the issues when you are configuring the unconfigured objects.

I had edited that and also php.ini to increase timeouts from default 30 to 60.

Both items allowed system to add nodes. Currently at 4453 hosts (30 pending) and 18153 services (583 pending).

Thanks for the feedback.
