Nagios XI Reporting

Post by cnewstrom »

Hello,

I've created a nice report in Nagios XI. Now I'd like to make it available to other users.

Is that possible?

If it is I'm not seeing how to do it.

If it is not, I'd like to request this as a feature. How would I go about doing that?

Thank You

Craig

Go to Reports > Report Management > Scheduled Reports, click on the "Copy report" action button next to your scheduled report, select a user you would like to copy the report to, and click on "Copy".

Thanks for the info!

To be clear - the report has to be scheduled in order to 'copy' it to other users?

What I'd had so far was just a report with the search settings saved and my intent was to just let users run it ad-hoc.
Is there a way to achieve that? Or must the report be scheduled in order to share it?

Thanks again!

The report must be scheduled in order to you to be able to share it (copy it to other users).

Thanks for that information.

Is it possible to publish a report so it's viewable to other Nagios uses in the webui, perhaps via a dashboard?

Thank You

Different users would have a different permissions, and the results (they see in the report) would be different. There is no way to "publish" a report, and make it viewable by many different users. You could email the report to these users if you wish. This would be another way of "sharing" the report.
