OS and Version

Hello,
We are using the NCPA for 99% of our server monitoring. The NCPA collects the OS and version. However, in Nagios XI, we have to supply the OS version. Is their a way for Nagios to collect that information automagically? If not, can we please open an ER on this?

Do you have NCPA installed on the Nagios XI server? Are you asking how to use check_ncpa.py locally (on the XI box) to get the OS/Version info or how to get it without the agent? Can you elaborate?

I want to collect all the OS and version numbers from every server we monitoring using the NCPA. I want that data collected in Nagios XI.

There are various system API endpoints that you could use. Here's a few examples of checks run from the CLI:
Code: Select all
[root@main-nagios-xi libexec]# ./check_ncpa.py -H x.x.x.x -P 5693 -t mytoken -M system/system
OK: System was ['Linux']
[root@main-nagios-xi libexec]# ./check_ncpa.py -H x.x.x.x -P 5693 -t mytoken -M system/machine
OK: Machine was ['x86_64']
[root@main-nagios-xi libexec]# ./check_ncpa.py -H x.x.x.x -P 5693 -t mytoken -M system/release
OK: Release was ['2.6.32-754.17.1.el6.x86_64']
[root@main-nagios-xi libexec]# ./check_ncpa.py -H y.y.y.y -P 5693 -t mytoken -M system/system
OK: System was ['Windows']
[root@main-nagios-xi libexec]# ./check_ncpa.py -H y.y.y.y -P 5693 -t mytoken -M system/machine
OK: Machine was ['AMD64']
[root@main-nagios-xi libexec]# ./check_ncpa.py -H y.y.y.y -P 5693 -t mytoken -M system/release
OK: Release was ['7']
Is this what you are looking for?

Yes. That could help, but ultimately, I would like this to be collected as part of the host data in Nagios XI. Today, when we use a wizard, we manually assign a OS to the server. I would like that to be imported and that data associated with the host in Nagios XI.

I just talked to our developers, and they said that they will be filing a feature request on adding this functionality. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
