Nagios Support Forum

@jmichaelson, sorry for the late reply. I didn't get a chance to get back to this thread until today. So, I am curious about the inheritance options with the bulk modification tool. Would those inheritance options make permanent changes to the hosts and service notifications when I initially used it...

So, I have done some extensive testing on this over the past few days and it looks like something in Nagios XI is messed up with our contact groups, or at least with using them for limiting users to which host and service checks they can view and get alerts from. This is what I have found so far: Sa...

That may be it. I had not paid attention to the inheritance setting when doing the bulk mod tool. I left it at its default, which looks like the default is set to "standard".

So, it looks like I got it to work. I was able to limit my test user and another normal user to specific hosts and service checks. However, to get it to work, I had to add each user individually to each host or service check. If I added them to a contact group and then added the contact group to spe...

I do have a quick question: Does adding a contact or contact group to a host, also add the contact to each of the individual service checks on the host or would I also have to add them to each of them individually? I know when adding a contact or contact group on the host, they do not appear on noti...

Hello jmichealson, I had thought about that as well, but I confirmed that the "Can see all hosts and services" check is not currently checked for each of the users. I will note though that when I initially created each the users, I did have that box checked, as I initially misunderstood it...

I cannot seem to limit users ability to view and receive alert notifications to specific hosts and/or service checks. No ...

First off, thank you jsimon and bbahn for the suggestions on how to get an ELF file to work. I ended up trying all of the methods that you two suggested. So, I first tried just removing the .sh extension as you suggested jsimon, but it still produced an error when trying the run the check from the N...

I do have one other quick question about the files in the plugins folder. Are these the only acceptable extensions that will work for the plugins files? .sh/.py/.pl/.php/.ps1/.vbs/.wsf/.bat Is there any way to get an ELF file to work as a plugin? One the reasons I ask is that one of the old NRPE lib...

Awesome! So, I just tested adding the .sh extension to my custom bash check scripts in the "plugins" folder for the NCPA 3.0 BETA client and it completely fixed the issue. The custom checks are now working without issue. Thank you again for the quick help in getting it figured out! Thanks,...
