Hi,

I have installed and configured nagios successfully, however I am getting the following message intermittently on nagios url

==============
It appears as though you do not have permission to view information for any of the services you requested...

If you believe this is an error, check the HTTP server authentication requirements for accessing this CGI
and check the authorization options in your CGI configuration file.
==============

But when I click again on Problems >> services tab it disappeared. Its happening intermittently. I have set all the authorized value flags in cgi.cfg to *, however still facing this issue. Any idea to resolve the issue ?.

Are you logging in with an actual user via basic authentication?

Hi,

Yes, I have created an additional user other than "nagiosadmin" and getting this error intermittently.

Can you share your cgi.cfg?

Also, when you click on Services, in the top left under "Current Network Status" does it show ?

Code: Select all

Logged in as nagiosadmin

Hereby I am enclosing my cgi.cfg file, please find the attachment. Also I was able to view the services, however sometimes I am experiencing the aforementioned error.

What version of Nagios Core is this?

You mention you get it intermittently, could this be at a time when nagios is being restarted by another user?
