Hello

Out of curiosity, is there a way to dynamically remote servers? We have non persistent VDI servers which spin up/down, get created/destroyed/etc, with a set pattern (CTXVDI## : CTXVDI01, CTXVDI02, etc.) and we would like to monitor them when they get created and then unmonitor them when they get destroyed, and do this automatically.

Hi @riahc3,

For this I would use the Nagios XI API.

In the server build, include NCPA, and a script in your favorite scripting language to make calls to the XI API to set up the host and services. Make the call to remove the host and services as part of the decom process. API documentation is in the interface. Here's a video as well: https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... i-713.html
