Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

Can you please help to access nagios db through URL. Like application access URL(http://<url>/nagiosxi.

If you're referring to an application like phpMyAdmin, such an application does not exist. I would absolutely not install phpMyAdmin on top of Nagios XI.

You should be able to use any generic MySQL client to access the database on localhost:3306. The default database root user is root:nagiosxi.

I would not advise doing any sort of writing to the database directly as this can make your Nagios XI installation unstable. If you need to pull data from the database, it's best to use the REST API (see the "Help" section of the Nagios XI GUI for usage) or to create a read-only MySQL user.

Totally agree with @mcapra. Knowing what you want to do might help us suggest alternatives, some of which may be existing functionality within Nagios XI already.

what is your ultimate goal?

Any updates, sgoffar?

Thanks for your response.I will check details and update you.

Noted.

My goal is to access the db tables.

I would say that "access[ing] the db tables" is a tactic or technique used to achieve your goal, but your goal has still not been stated. Why do you want to access the tables? This is like someone asking how to access the Windows registry. Accessing it is easy, but the bigger question is really WHY do you want to access it?

As previously stated this type of access to the databases are not available via URL like you are requesting.
