Can NagiosXI notify me when new unconfigured objects exist?

[nagiosadmin42]

As far as I can tell, the only way to determine that new unconfigured objects exist is to login to the GUI and select the Admin menu's Unconfigured Objects. So, I'm about to begin writing a script to notify me when new unconfigured objects exist, and thought I'd post here first to ask:

1) Does Nagios XI already have a mechanism for this, and I've just missed it? If so, please direct me to the appropriate documentation.
or
2) Has anyone else already implemented something themselves that I could leverage?

Thanks everyone!

I don't believe so. But I can tell you that the file that is written to when a new object is added is

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/var/corelog.newobjects

Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes.

I ended up writing a perl script to retrieve and parse the page http://localhost/nagiosxi/admin/missingobjects.php and implemented it as a nagios plugin on our Nagios monitoring server. It simply parses the main <tbody> section of the html page for host entries and sets the returned status to WARNING if any host is found. I did this rather than parsing the raw data file corelog.newobjects, because missingobjects.php already has the logic to detect if a host/service has been added even though it exists in corelog.newobjects.
