Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

We are using Lenovo hardware and we have Xclarity admin for monitoring the all the servers.

We tried to integrate Xclarity to nagios referring the link below.
https://sysmgt.lenovofiles.com/help/ind ... lcome.html

Completed till step 4 successfully and from step 5 its all execution in command line.

We have Nagios XI installed and we would like to proceed from step 5 in Nagios XI.

Would be great if you could help on this since XI is UI based and easy to understand and setup.

Thanks.

Once you've installed a plugin and can confirm it runs from the command there are only a few steps that need to be done in XI to complete the integration:

-define the command
-define a service to use the command

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf covers the details of these steps.

Hi,

Thanks for the document link share.

We tried the steps as mentioned in the link.
https://sysmgt.lenovofiles.com/help/ind ... lcome.html

In step 5 its mentioned we have to provide the instance name as given in step 3 (<XCLARITY_ADMINISTRATOR_NAME> is the name of the XClarity Administrator instance that you specified in step 3.)

But while executing step 3 command it did ask me only username password and URL.

So which name i can use it while defining the command and service.

And its throwing below error if i try with any name,

Thanks.

Use "system" for the instance name, let us know if that works.

Tried to use 'system' as user name and added to NagiosXI.

But while service check getting the attached error.

Thanks.

What I meant was for you to use your standard username and password for the configurator but use the system in the command definition:
Did you do that?

Are you using version 1.0.0 or 1.1.0? 1.1.0 version is here:

Yes , i tried doing the same.

And the Xclarity version we are using is 2.6.0.

Please let me know the corresponding plugin to be used.

Thanks.

Use this one here and rerun through the procedure to generate your credentials:
