Access Nagios Network Analyzer Reports

Server Management Service

We can access the Nagios Network Analyzer reports by configuring the Nagios Network Analyzer Component within Nagios XI.

This will allow quick and easy access to Nagios Network Analyzer Network Report and Network Query report.

Here at Ibmi Media, as part of our Server Management Services, we regularly help our Customers to perform related Nagios queries.

How to View the Nagios Network Analyzer Reports ?

We have to two options:

1. Network Report

Select Network Analyzer Server, the source or sourcegroup, and the Report to run from the dropdown menus and click on Run Report.

2. Network Query

Select Network Analyzer server, the source or sourcegroup, and the Query to run from the drop-down menus, and click on Run Query.

By default, Nagios XI includes only two network queries. However, we can view all of the queries saved in Nagios Network Analyzer. We can find it in the Query to run the drop-down menu.

How to Exclude Columns In Reports ?

Generally, we may have too much data which we cannot display properly on a PDF.

Then, it is possible to exclude some of the columns that we do not need from the report table. To do so, we click on the Show Column Excluders and select the check-boxes to exclude.
