Action URL

Post by rbaholding »

Good morning,

We have installed pnp4nagios. We need action URL to see perf data from our Host, but $HOSTNAME$ macro in action URL doesn't works.

For example: action URL definition for host is: /pnp4nagios/index.php/graph?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=_HOST_

The result is always: perfdata directory "/usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/perfdata/$HOSTNAME$" for host "$HOSTNAME$" does not exist

If we change $HOSTNAME$ for host name manually works fine.

What are we doing wrong?

Regards

First, is this an XI install (as you are posting in the XI forum)

If so, pnp4nagios is installed by default and if you installed a different version this could cause other problems.

What version of Nagios are you running?

Yes is a Nagios XI installation. We want to use Action URLs but $HOSTNAME$ macro don't works

How can I test if is a macro problem or pnp4nagios problem?

What version of Nagios XI are you using? Did you try to install PNP 4 NAGIOS over Nagios XI? Or are you using the included version.

Lets try re installing PNP, Can you re download Nagios XI, then un tar the tarball and run the pnp script?:

Code: Select all

service ndo2db stop

service nagios stop

service httpd stop

Code: Select all

cd /tmp

rm -rf xi* nagiosxi

wget http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/2012/xi-2012r1.5b.tar.gz

tar -zxf xi-2012r1.5b.tar.gz

cd nagiosxi/subcomponents/pnp/install
Then:

Code: Select all

service ndo2db start

service nagios start

service httpd start
Let us know how it looks after this. Thanks!
