Using Nagios data to build Map of hosts and services

Post by rebug »

Hello,

I would like to know is there any way to build a map with host and services (deducing by monitored services) with Nagios XI ?

I found the "network map" but there is so host displayed and there are displayed like they was all on the same network. How I can tell to Nagios XI which host are connected to that firewall etc ? Can I custom this view to add services ?

Thank's

You can build a logical network map by setting parent hosts for each of your monitored network devices. For instance, you'd want to add a host for your firewall, then for each host you want "under" that firewall, you'd set the parent host to the firewall.

There is a third-party tool called NagVis that is already on XI and you just have to configure its capabilities.

It maps out your parent/child relations of hosts and services that are configured with Nagios XI. Here is the documentation on it.
