Hostgroup ??

[nagiosjam]

Hello
I have 3 hosts.
server1, server2 and server3
and I want to create two groups of hosts.
Hostgroup1 members server1, server2 and server3
and Hostgroup2 with members server1 and server2

it's possible?

I created host groups and each group is assigned a group of contacts.

Contactgroup1, hostgroup1 (Server1, server2 and server3)
Y
contactgroup2, hostgroup2 (server1, server2)

When I log on the website of nagios with contact pins 2, only I see the hostgroup2 group, so far so good, but when I log with a contact group of contacts 1, see the two groups, hostgroup1 and hostgroup2 and I just want see the hostgroup1

do not know if I'm doing something wrong or is that not possible

thank you very much

What you are attempting is certainly possible.
When you say

"...I log with a contact group of contacts 1"

implies there is a misunderstanding between contacts and users, and there is a significant difference between the two. Read this https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ntacts.pdf

If you expect a user (not a contact) to login in to the UI and see only the corresponding host group to which they've been assigned to receive notification alerts on - that won't happen. You can configure XI to have varying degrees of permissions for users, but it is not so granular to restrict views to particular hosts, host groups, etc.

i have nagios core, no nagios xI

This guide, while it is for Nagios XI, uses Nagios Core in the backend and hence the concept applies to Core as well.

Have a look at pages 6 and 7

Does this help?

Hello
If you have not understood me , let me explain again
I have two contact groups, with one group of contacts want to see all the services of a host ( this host has 10 services) and the other contact group want to see only five alerts for the same host
Thank you

Code: Select all

When I log on the website of nagios with contact pins 2, only I see the hostgroup2 group, so far so good, but when I log with a contact group of contacts 1, see the two groups, hostgroup1 and hostgroup2 and I just want see the hostgroup1

You added contactgroup1 to both, server1 and server2, which are members of both hostgroups - hostgroup1 and hostgroup2... That's why, when you log in as a contactgroup1 contact, you can see both hostgroups.

I have two contact groups, with one group of contacts want to see all the services of a host ( this host has 10 services) and the other contact group want to see only five alerts for the same host

Are you talking about what services the contacts (members of contactgroup2) can see in the web UI or what notifications they can receive? Can you elaborate? Post some "example" configs.

When you add a contact to a host, this contact will be able to see all services of this host. If you want the contact to see only some of the services, add it directly to the services you want him/her to see.

A few things:

First, I am moving this out of Nagios Ideas since this is a question about Core, not a suggestion.

Second, this is very confusing because you keep changing the names of groups and hosts. In the original posting you had "Hostgroup1" with "server1, server2, and server3" but in your configs you have hostgroups named "SERVERS-NAGIOS" and "SERVERS-NAGIOS" with members named "nagios1" and "nagios2", but there is no "nagios2" host, only "nagios1" and "nagiospre2", but there is a contact group called "nagios2". Please be consistent in your naming and examples so they are easier to follow.

Third, as has been mentioned the solution is to only assign the contacts to the hosts or services which you wish them to view. Currently you have your contacts in a group, and that group is assigned directly to your individual hosts, which means the contacts in those groups can see the associated services.
