Noc Monitor Login?
Good morning Nagiosians! Once upon a time we had a URL that would autologin to a view from nagios core (an old version) that was displayed on a large "noc" monitor. Also anyone we provided that link to was able to use it - no password required. How can I achieve this with Nagios XI? Keep in mind I am a newb with XI and not the best in the world with linux although my google-fu is strong.

You can use Admin > Automatic Login but more than likely you used the Backend API URL to do this under Admin > Manage Components but now it states this:
Backend API URL
You can still do that but you need to go to Admin > System Settings >Backwards Compatibility tab, check the box next to Allow Insecure Logins, then click the Update Settings button.
Then you need to login as that use, click their username in the top right hand corner, Under the new Insecure Login Settings section:
- Check the Box for Enable Insecure Login for this user
- Generate a new insecure ticket or keep the existing
- Click the Update Settings button
Now you should be able to use it like you did the old way, see the example URL on that same page:
Example of usage: https://XXXXXX/nagiosxi/index.php?usern ... =<insecure login ticket>
Backend API URL
The reason why it's deprecated is because you were allowed to pass user/pass in cleartext which is a security concern but you're more than welcome to use it if you are willing to accept the risk.DEPRECATED! Use the objects API instead. Provides information on the URLs used to access the Nagios XI backend API.

I think I'm missing something or I have the URL formatted incorrectly. I created the user, as listed above. Generated the token. This is the URL I am using:
https://hsp-nagios/nagiosxi/views/?xiwi ... DD8kc8nlTJ
which then only displays the nagios xi login page....not the desired service detail page we want to display on a large monitor.

Re: Noc Monitor Login?
It looks to me like there are two ?'s in the URL, which would prevent the username and ticket from getting set properly.Code: Select all
https://hsp-nagios/nagiosxi/views/?xiwindow=manage.php?username=rmgwallmonitor&ticket=LZmqSoHjhbqlJkN2MK06D3XlGUrDK4TrjfcbG9OdjuCj8FkUmkZYHeDD8kc8nlTJ
Try this instead:
Code: Select all
https://hsp-nagios/nagiosxi/views/?xiwindow=manage.php&username=rmgwallmonitor&ticket=LZmqSoHjhbqlJkN2MK06D3XlGUrDK4TrjfcbG9OdjuCj8FkUmkZYHeDD8kc8nlTJ
Thanks!
