Re: [Nagios-users] Looking for an alternative user interface with more advanced features
Thank you for all your suggestions. Sorry, I got no guts for 'bleeding edge' technology, and would like to sleep peacefully at night, though I will follow up on Ninja's development for future upgrades. Patrick's suggestions are great, simple, tried and true, and will fit our requirements. Thanks again.

That's a lot of easy for free tools with advanced features ;) Ninja has something along those lines if you're willing to run bleeding edge (I think). You can select multiple hosts, hostgroups, services or servicegroups and issue commands for them if you like. I think it's only in the bleeding edge versions though (meaning in our git repositories, which are readable for anyone that wants to clone them). It's been a few weeks since I worked on Ninja, so I can't say for sure. -- Andreas Ericsson andreas.erics...@op5.se OP5 AB www.op5.se Tel: +46 8-230225 Fax: +46 8-230231 Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war on peace. -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

You could always slap together a hostgroup that contains the hosts you want to put in downtime and reload the config. Alternatively, it probably wouldn't be hard to come up with a script that took a list of hosts (and maybe start/end times or durations) and submitted downtimes for those hosts via Nagios's external command interface. -- ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

Re: [Nagios-users] Looking for an alternative user interface with more advanced features
There are times that we need to take couple of hosts from *multiple* hostgroups for upgrade/testing. It gets to be time consuming commiting downtime for 20+ hosts one by one. Nagios only has features for either hostgroups and/or servicegroups but not a listing of nodes where users can pick and choose which hosts and services to enable/disable/downtime.

Re: [Nagios-users] Looking for an alternative user interface with more advanced features
Do you mean that you can't do it if you go to Services or Hosts, or you mean that you really do want to disable notifications and downtime for *truly* random hosts? Because I don't think there's a whole lot of use cases matching that. --Matt On Mon, Jun 14, 2010 at 10:18 PM, Trisha Hoang wrote: > Hi, > There are times when I need to disable notifications or submit downtime for > *random* hosts/services that don't belong to any particular > hostgroups/servicegroups, and the standard Nagios UI doesn't have this kind > of feature. > Would you recommend some tools out there that are stable, easy to install, > easy to use, that have some of the more advanced features? > Thank you. > Trisha > > -- > ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate > GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.

[Nagios-users] Looking for an alternative user interface with more advanced features
Hi, There are times when I need to disable notifications or submit downtime for *random* hosts/services that don't belong to any particular hostgroups/servicegroups, and the standard Nagios UI doesn't have this kind of feature. Would you recommend some tools out there that are stable, easy to install, easy to use, that have some of the more advanced features? Thank you.
