Nagios Support Forum

Hi ,

I have nagvis package along with nagios xi and I want to create auto maps for few of the servers/Applications. can someone let me know what are the backend changes needs to be done in backend config files and how to check if I have all packages related to nagvis. Right now I see some socket error.

Nagios XI has NagVis pre-installed

The following should be set in the "Manage Backend" section

Im not getting this same options shown in your screenshot in my page, Im not able to see backend called Nagiosxi in dropdown. Attaching the same for your reference.

Let me know if we can have webex session, so that I can open support ticket

The nagiosxi backend was added in Nagios XI 5.5

ndomy_1 would be the correct default for previous versions

I want to create maps in Nagvis, where can I get or download and import visually good looking templates for creating maps

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find any map templates for NagVis. The documentation mentions only context, header & hover templates - http://docs.nagvis.org/1.9/en_US/index.html.

If you needed help with creating maps in NagVis, you could probably watch the video below to get started:

Hope this helps.

where to get templates and I have copied one template to /usr/loca/nagvis/share/userlist/templates/ and I don't see its reflecting from nagvis web console. and how to change background color. Its becoming very tough to create dashboards with proper documentation

You can change the background color of a map in the GUI by going to Edit Map > Map Options > Appearance > background_color=selected, choosing a color from the color pallet, and clicking on "Save".

...I have copied one template to /usr/loca/nagvis/share/userlist/templates/ and I don't see its reflecting from nagvis web console...

Can you elaborate on this? Where do you expect to see your "custom" template in the GUI? Do you see any of the other ("default") templates from the "/usr/local/nagvis/share/userfiles/templates" directory in the GUI?

Note: I would like to point out that we do support NagVis integration, and will do our best to help you with any NagVis issues that you may be having. However, keep in mind that NagVis is not our product, and sometimes it would be wise to post your questions on the NagVis support forum as well, especially if you are dealing with some customizations, e.g. map templates, etc.
