I logged back in.. and this time i can see all service details.. great.. thanks you so much. . Just wanted to know, how do i add my physical server statistics in home dashboard. I am trying to bring my physical Server statistic dashlet same as that shown for localhost (NagiosXI server) in home dashboard.

Any way ...Great piece of support.

Thanks once again.

The Server Statistics for localhost is a special dashlet because it has direct access to the localhost. This particular dashlet is custom made just for localhost. You can take performance graphs from any host and place them on the dashboard...

Any information on this.

This can be caused by multiple things, power failure, VM being stopped abruptly (not going through normal shutdown procedure), etc.

It usually happens because the MySQL db may have have been in the middle of writing something and the machine went away...

scot,

That makes sense to me.. I think i terminated my sessions which closed down all the vmware and that would have caused sql to crash. etc....
If i need to restart my server in some situation. do i need to suspend the nagios XI VM (or) Do i need to shutdown it.?

John.

It is best to shutdown the VM and then do your restart. This way all of the services get the proper signal and it avoids the machine halting in the middle of an operation.
