Overview

The Nagios XI integration is used to fetch observability data from Nagios XI and ingest it into Elasticsearch.

Use the Nagios XI integration to:

Collect metrics on current load, users, ping, HTTP, SSH, root partition, swap users, total processes, round-trip time, and packet loss, along with system event logs.
Create visualizations to monitor, measure, and analyze usage trends and key data for business insights.
Set up alerts to minimize Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Resolve (MTTR) by quickly referencing relevant logs during troubleshooting.

Data streams

The Nagios XI integration collects logs and metrics data.

Logs provide insights into operations and events within the Nagios XI environment. The log data stream collected by the Nagios XI integration is events. This allows you to track system events, understand their causes, and address issues related to infrastructure monitoring and alert management.

Metrics provide insights into the performance and health of your Nagios XI instance. The Nagios XI integration collects host and service metric data streams. These metrics enable you to monitor and troubleshoot the performance of hosts and services within your Nagios XI environment, covering aspects such as network round trip time, packet loss, service load, user count, and other critical indicators.

Data streams:

events: Provides Nagios XI system event logs.
host: Provides Nagios XI Host Round Trip Travel Time (rta) and Packet Loss (pl) metrics.
service : Provides Nagios XI service metrics by default, including current load, current users, ping, HTTP, SSH, root partition, swap users, and total processes.

Note: You can monitor and view logs from the ingested documents for Nagios XI in the logs-* index pattern in Discover. For metrics, the index pattern is metrics-*.

Compatibility

This integration has been tested against Nagios-XI Version: 5.8.7

What do I need to use this integration?

You need Elasticsearch for storing and searching your data and Kibana for visualizing and managing it. You can use our hosted Elasticsearch Service on Elastic Cloud, which is recommended, or self-manage the Elastic Stack on your own hardware.

You have two options for deploying Elasticsearch and Kibana:

Elastic Cloud (Recommended): Fully managed and hosted by Elastic.
Self-Managed: Deploy and manage the Elastic Stack on your own hardware.

To ingest data from Nagios XI, you must know the host for Nagios XI and add that host when configuring the integration package.

Setup

For step-by-step instructions on how to set up an integration, check the Getting started guide.

Validation

After configuring the integration, go to the Assets tab in the Nagios XI Integration.
You should see a list of available dashboards.
Click on the dashboard corresponding to your configured data stream.
Verify that the dashboard is populated with the expected data.

Service metrics

This is the service dataset.

This dataset gives Nagios XI services current load, current users, ping, http, ssh, root partition, swap users and total processes metrics by default.
If the user enters a display name of a custom check command, then the integration would also fetch and index that but not parse/perform additional extractions. Additionally, the user can provide a custom processor through the configuration page if they are interested in parsing it
If the user enters the host name and no display name, then similar to 1, the integration will fetch all the services from that host and index, but only parse the default one i.e the 8 services. The user can provide a custom processor in this case
If the user enters both the host name and the display name, then the integration would only fetch those services with the entered display name and only from the entered hosts. It is not possible to fetch 1 service from host1 and another service from host2 in this case as it will fetch all the services from all the hosts that are configured

ECS Field Reference

Refer to the following document for detailed information on ECS fields.

Exported fields

Field	Description	Type
@timestamp	Event timestamp.	date
data_stream.dataset	Data stream dataset.	constant_keyword
data_stream.namespace	Data stream namespace.	constant_keyword
data_stream.type	Data stream type.	constant_keyword
input.type	Type of Filebeat input.	keyword
nagios_xi.service.acknowledgement_type	The acknowledgement_type column can be either 0, 1, or 2 which represent None, Normal, or Sticky, respectively.	keyword
nagios_xi.service.action_url	This is used to define an optional URL that can be used to provide more actions to be performed on the host. If you specify an URL, you will see a red "splat" icon in the CGIs (when you are viewing host information) that links to the URL you specify here. Any valid URL can be used. If you plan on using relative paths, the base path will the the same as what is used to access the CGIs (i.e. /cgi-bin/nagios/).	keyword
nagios_xi.service.active_checks_enabled	This is used to determine whether or not active checks (either regularly scheduled or on-demand) of this host are enabled. Values=> 0 = disable active host checks, 1 = enable active host checks (default).	keyword
nagios_xi.service.check_command	This is used to specify the short name of the command that should be used to check if the host is up or down. Typically, this command would try and ping the host to see if it is "alive". The command must return a status of OK (0) or Nagios will assume the host is down. If you leave this argument blank, the host will not be actively checked. Thus, Nagios will likely always assume the host is up (it may show up as being in a "PENDING" state in the web interface). This is useful if you are monitoring printers or other devices that are frequently turned off. The maximum amount of time that the notification command can run is controlled by the host_check_timeout option.	keyword
