Hello, Can you modify the parameters of a monitored host from a wizard? Or should I delete and recreate a Host when I want to modify it?

Hi

There are two ways you can modify a host:

1. You can modify the host from the Host Status page by clicking on the hostname in the host column.
Then click on the Configure tab, and then the "Re-configure this host" link A service can be reconfigured in a similar fashion, however you might be limited as to how much
you can modify depending on the service. If you don't see what you want to modify then use the CCM.

2. You can also modify the host by using the CCM Core Config Manager. A service can be reconfigured in a similar fashion.

Let me know if this answers your question please.

Thanks

Hello, thank you very much for the information. I tell you what I want to do, what happens is that when I configure a wizard, it no longer allows me to update the information of the services, that is, I cannot add more services, my question is, can I add more services to an already created wizard ?

Hi

I am not sure I understand. Do you have a Host configured with some services, and now you
want to add a new server to that existing host?

Thanks

Hello there

I have a host with some services and I want to add more services

Thanks

Hi

To add more services you can use the Configuration Wizard to create a new service. You can also use
the Core Configuration Manager to create a new service. As part of creating the new service (using either method)
there is the opportunity to associate the new service to a host already defined in Nagios.

Please give me an example of what you are trying to do and I can give you explicit steps. For example, tell me what
services you already have defined for a host, and also tell me what service(s) you would like to add to that host. Then
I can set up that scenario on my test system and send you a screen capture of how to do it.

Thanks
