You can configure authorization/authentication, as Marc notes in his post. Another approach, that I am in the middle of setting up, is the Nagios sidebar add-on that is outlined on Mark Duling's "Monitoring Network Services with Nagios and Mac OS X" site. While Mark's site focuses on getting Nagios working on a Mac, the sidebar tool is cross platform. If you go to <http://homepage.mac.com/duling/halfdozen/Nagios-Howto- p2.html> and scroll down about 2/3 of the way, you will find a section called "Display Hosts by Hostgroup" that include links to the script and configuration files you will need to make this work. Here is Mark's description of the add-on: "If you prefer to display hosts organized by a logical grouping, there is an add-on to do just that. The nagside add-on organizes your hosts by higher level groups called domains in the Nagios sidebar (see this example <http://chet.crashed.net/nagside.jpg>). This addition does not modify the Nagios object group configuration in any way; it is "merely" for visual elegance and efficiency." Once the scripts are in place, you edit /opt/local/sbin/nagios/side.pl to set up the domains and then which domains, which users can see. The benefit of this approach is that you can separate being a contact for Host/Service from which hosts you can see. You can also group hosts in an order that makes sense to you. As always, your milage may very. I am recovering from some surgery, and have not had a chance to put this into practice. Perhaps someone on the list knows a reason not to use this approach. If you do end up using it, please let me know how it works out for you.
