VM not detecting IP address for Nagios xi
My VM player is no longer detecting an IP address for xi. I have rebooted the VM several times, I have disconnected and reconnected the bridge and nothing seems to be working,

Re: VM not detecting IP address for Nagios xi
Hello @tryingtobeIT,
Is your VM's bridged connection set to DHCP or static? If DHCP, make sure your VM is set to obtain IP address automatically.
Check ip a and/or ifconfig or nmcli to check your interface connection status.
If your connection is down, you can try sudo ifconfig <my_interface> up or sudo nmcli connection up <my_interface>.
Check that your VM is actually connected. In VMWare Workstation, if you go to the settings for your VM under Network Adapter, make sure connected is checked. Other Virtualization software should have a similar setting.
Restarting your VM will also often resolve DHCP issues.

The one thing that seemed to work was changing network adapter to NAT
