Can you call performance graphs without logging into XI???

Post by JakeHatMacys »

We've got some system owners that want to get instant access to there servers metrics. We were wondering if there's a way to call these performance graphs without going through the normal Nagios XI login & drop down etc.

Do the system owners already have a user created?

If they do you could go to Admin > Manage Components > Backend API URL and click on the Settings icon.
- Select their user and click Apply Settings
- Copy the last part of one of the URLs: &username=USERNAME&ticket=rfpd4snkjli0g6l2qi4ua3lefjf9r25mgr0klm689n7pqrqjcrhjs52blekgfg4s
- Now go to Admin > Manage Users and masquerade as their user and go to the page that you want them to view and click the permalink icon to copy the permalink
- Add the two together:

Code: Select all

http://YOURXISERVER/nagiosxi/views/?&xiwindow=http%3A%2F%2Fssc66xi%2Fnagiosxi%2Fincludes%2Fcomponents%2Fxicore%2Ftac.php&username=rouser&ticket=rfpd4snkjli0g6l2qi4ua3lefjf9r25mgr0klm689n7pqrqjcrhjs52blekgfm4s
That will allow them to access without logging in.

*** Note: The reason that you should masquerade as their user is because the different views and dashboards might have a different ID for each user, even when deploying dashboards.
