Nagios Support Forum

I am trying to get data out of NagiosXI that will show at least the host, hostgroup, IP Address, and Alias. When I choose the 'Manage Components" and then use this URL
http://sherlock/nagiosxi/backend/?cmd=g ... 9e5uf5otrq

It appears this will give me the information that I need but it never completes.

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg,

What version of Nagios XI are you currently using? The Backed API has been deprecated in Nagiso XI 5 and now uses a REST API.

If that's not the issue, run the following tail command while you try to load that page, and post the output. Thanks. Documenation
Backend API Access

Got the information, thanks!!

One more question: We have our routers and switches using the interface table plugin. All the interfaces are displayed. Do you know if it is possible to pull that information - the router and its interfaces into a spreadsheet.

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg,

Can you post a screenshot of the information in the Nagios XI interface that you would like to get to CSV? Thanks.

The best option may be to send the page as a schedule report in a PDF format and use a utility to import this into a spreadsheet.

Attached is the screen shot of what the interface table looks like.

Hi Greg,

Ok, that looks like the plugin output, and you should be able to run the plugin directly from the command line and pipe the output to a file since the plugin is outputting html.

Next, you shoudl be able to directly import the html file into xcel, otherwise, try to use a script to convert the html tables to csv (see this or this).

Let me know if you have other questions.
