Nagios Support Forum

I'm finding the "Manage Deployed Agents" feature useful (Thanks!) for finding and reporting on NCPA agents that require updates. We are also looking at Ansible to automate NCPA updates in the future.

To keep this area updated, my thought is when the NCPA Wizard adds new monitored hosts, that it could also add the hostname & OS type to the "Managed Deployed Agents" area as well.

Another idea would be to have an audit process that adds & removes (when not found) hostnames from "Manage Deployed Agents" based on the hosts config file value: _xiwizard ncpa

Without this automation, we would need to export the values in the "Manage Deployed Agents" and compare to what's monitored to keep things in sync. (yuck!)

Hi

Thanks for those good ideas!

I’ll submit a feature request to add this ability to the product on your behalf.

Please keep in mind that the decision to implement an enhancement is at
the discretion of our development team.

Thanks again Monitor Guy!
