Nagios Support Forum

We have setup Nagios XI utilizing the multi-tenancy aspect. I understand its possible to add new service checks to an existing host via CCM, however in our implementation the users don't have access to CCM - they simply add new hosts via the configuration wizards. When a user goes to add additional services to an existing host, rather than adding the services to the existing host config it seems a new config is generated using the IP address. Is it possible for users to add new service checks to existing hosts without access to CCM? Perhaps by re-running the configuration wizard?

When you rerun the configuration wizard, the existing service checks are merged with the new ones you add. So that's the route you'd want to take.

Hello, @jalfaro.
Generally, when you run a wizard to add new host you add all the default services with it as well, right? So if users come up with a new plugin/check that would not be a standard one and therefore they would need to define a new command in Core Configuration Manager anyway.
So they could try to run a wizard over again with the exact same hostname and ip address, and the services may or may not get appended. It really depends on the type of wizard. There's also a service definition import tool but it is located in Core Configuration Manager.
I'd say there's no reliable way to do it without Core Configuration Manager.
