Nagiosx xi Email Limit based on quantity

Post by mrjsokol »

Good morning all,

I had a theory for creating a sudo limiter for nagios xi based on rules set for my preference via SQL trigger but wanted to know if there is a table in xi that keeps track of what emails are send out with their host and subjects and if its possible to apply triggers to the database without interfering with the DB repair script, if needed to run.

Thank you and have a great week,
Joseph S.

Hi Joseph,

Hope you are doing well.

You can find that information in the nagios database, nagios_logentries table. It's what you would find in the Notifications Report or the actual nagios.log file.

The table doesn't store everything that depends on the settings in Admin > Performance Settings > Databases. Typically, it's set to keep 90 days.

Hope that helps answer your questions and let us know if you need clarification on anything.
