Re: [Nagios-users] Viewing a subset of systems checked by Nagios
Oh, and a side note, make sure of course that you add the same username to the web auth that you use for the contact in contact.cfg. -Don Lewis On Wed, 2006-10-25 at 14:30 +0100, Wheeler, JF (Jonathan) wrote: > I have a Nagios installation with ~700 hosts and ~11000 services.

Re: [Nagios-users] Viewing a subset of systems checked by Nagios
Yes this is possible. You would need to add the client(person) to the contacts.cfg file and then either to an existing contact group in contactgroups.cfg or make a new contactgroup specifically for that client. Unless given ALL privs in cgi.cfg every each user that has been added to the authentication mechanism will only be allowed to see hosts/services for which they are contacts for. So remember to add the contactgroup you create to the host & the services for that host ( in services.cfg ) and they will then be able to see the host and associated services for it. By adding this new contact and contactgroup you can even specifically send them alerts of their own at intervals they want them at, and when they log in through the web interface they will only be able to see the hosts/services you have given them access to, and when they look at the status map they will only see the hosts/services you have assigned them, the rest will be ? marks on the map, everywhere else they will just see theirs. Hope that helps. -Don Lewis On Wed, 2006-10-25 at 14:30 +0100, Wheeler, JF (Jonathan) wrote: > I have a Nagios installation with ~700 hosts and ~11000 services.

[Nagios-users] Viewing a subset of systems checked by Nagios
I have a Nagios installation with ~700 hosts and ~11000 services. What we would like to do is to allow some users to view (via the web interface) only a subset of the systems being monitored; in the current instance this is just one host, but there could be other instances requiring a number of hosts . Is this possible ? I suspect not, but any comments would be useful. I am aware of the possibility that most users who have access to the web view should not have the ability to run commands.
