TODO

in the file /usr/local/groundwork/guava/packages/nagios/views/nagios.inc.php you need to change nagiosadmin by $_SESSION['username'] (on line 24, the line is currently: $guava->SSO_createAuthTicket("nagios_auth_tkt", "/", 'nagiosadmin'); )

then restart httpd
Now when you login on groundwork as user foo, it will use the nagios cgi's as user foo as well.
You need to do the same for nagiosmap and nagiosreport

I had everything working great, and now suddenly the graphing stopped. Still have space on my drive and everything else is working fine.

As of 10:00 this morning .. .. no graphs. Even /usr/local/groundwork/nagios/eventhandlers/service_perfdata.log hasn't been touched since then. . . . very weird.

Any ideas? I don't think that I changed anything, and I've restarted the gwservices service and even rebooted. No change.

Also . . . . anybody know how to get rid of old datasets in the performance module? Seems like I read that once and can't figure it out.

Got it. Somehow, the command to process the performance data had gotten changed to service_perfdata instead of service_perfdata_db.

In terms of the other question, when I got to the performance module and click on a host, there are old services that I have removed from hosts in the drop downs. It gets confusing as I have made a great deal of changes getting the system up to snuff.

There are also names of hosts that I have changed in the host drop-down (ex. I changed cisco2811 to router_cisco2811, but cisco2811 is still in the drop down as well as the new name).

How do I clear out old information?

Setup tips

Ok - I found that there is a rename button on the Configuration pages for each Host (NOT the Configuration EZ!).
