Change Login to nagios.example.com

Post by mikew »

I have a client who wants to remove "nagiosxi" from the url to login so that they can use nagios.example.com for logins instad of example.com/nagiosxi. I guess my question is what all do I need to change to make that happen and does that impact links in email, etc. I do not want to go down this path if it creates a lot of issues for upgrades, etc.

You might be able to make an apache rewrite rule to force example.nagios.com links to example.nagios.com/nagiosxi, but the internal links that Nagios XI creates should all still have the /nagiosxi ending. If all you need this for is the login page then this might work. Not sure if upgrades would overwrite the apache configs though.

That is exactly what I thought, a great way to create more problems for yourself...like I need a few more. I figured that nagiosxi should remain, just wanted to verify. Thanks you can close this.

If you go to Admin -> Manage System Config you can change the Internal and External URLs to reference the rewrite, but yea that might cause some unforeseen problems.
