Have you assigned the contact you created as a contact to all of those hosts / services? Can you post a definition for us to look at?

[rlinux57]

I have just add the guest in following parameters:

Code: Select all

authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin,guest
authorized_for_read_only=guest

[rkennedy]

You will need to also assign them as a contact to the host / service in question as well.

[rlinux57]

How can i do that ?

[tmcdonald]

You will need to add their contact name in the contacts field for that host:

[rlinux57]

Would you please tell me how can i gave access mentioned in below "hostextinfo" to certain guest. I'm talking about the guest user of webui not about the users that are defined in contacts.

Code: Select all

define hostextinfo{
host_name	host_name
notes	note_string
notes_url	url
action_url	url
icon_image	image_file
icon_image_alt	alt_string
vrml_image	image_file
statusmap_image	image_file
2d_coords	x_coord,y_coord
3d_coords	x_coord,y_coord,z_coord
   	}

An example of how this works in my situation. I have a long list of hosts of different device types. Of those hosts, there are some UPS units that I want certain people on my team to be able to view and not the rest of the hosts I have. I created a "ups" group and login for them to use to see them. They can acknowledge, disable, enable checks/notifications because this was the intent.

Hope this helps you figure out your needs.

define contact{
contact_name emcradio
use generic-contact
alias EMC Radio
}

define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name ups
alias EMC UPS
members jrodriguez,emcradio,jjones
}

define host{
use linux-server
host_name ups-SHERATON
alias ups-sheraton
address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
contact_groups ups
hostgroups all, tower, ups
notification_period 24x7
}

define service{
use local-service
host_name ups-SHERATON
service_description PING
servicegroups ping
check_command check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
}

define service{
use ups-service
host_name ups-SHERATON
service_description UPS Health
servicegroups ups-health
check_command check_ups_pow3!public
}

Thanks @tgrtjake!

@rlinux57 that's pretty much how it is done - you will need to have a contact on that host in order to share it with someone.
