Hi Nicolas, I'd e-mailed you not so long back (couple of weeks) through my personal address about this. I've explained what's required, and I'm happy to implement a solution for you before v2 of NLG is developed. If anyone else can and wants to do this, the solution is: 1. Setup HTTP authenticat

Hi Pablo, What does the report class the "Indeterminate" data as? (Insufficient data or Nagios not running?) If it says "Insufficient data," I'd hazard a guess that your last month's log files aren't where Nagios expects them to be, perhaps they've been archived or zipped by a log rotat

Hi Lingyun, Have a look at NRPE. Basically you run an NRPE daemon on the remote machines (which is configured with the commands to use.) You set up a service in Nagios to use check_nrpe to query the remote NRPE daemon. The NRPE daemon takes the command name to use, runs the command associated

Hi Eric, You don't need to create a separate template to only show specific hosts - what you're looking for is a custom filter (which will get added to the "filter hosts" drop-down, whichever template you're using.) First off I take it you're using the latest 1.0.6 version? If so, see the "fi
