Disable Notifications

[paul.jobb]

I notice in XI when I acknowledge an alert it creates a comment on the user who did that along with some notes however disabling notifications doesn't do any of that. Outside of looking through the audit report is there a way to record who disabled alerting on a particular host or service? Is that something I can add? I noticed there was a topic on removing the disable option from the interface all together, but I do want to have the option for users to disable alerting still.

I would like to create a report weekly listing which monitors are disabled and by whom, we have a fairly large team and it would be nice to supply some history in that report.

You should be able to add DISABLE_SVC_NOTIFICATIONS to the "Search" box at the top of the screen when viewing the Audit Log. Does this produce what you're looking for?

Ok Thanks, might be able to make that work.

It would be nice if it behaved similarly to acknowledgements , in that the history is there for regular users so they don't have to look through audit records:

I actually wrote that thing:

I modified it to submit a simple comment whenever "Disable Notifications" happens, but it submits 2 comments instead of just one so it's not perfect. Close, anyway:

Interesting, are you able to upload other types of files? Can you share your Apache's error log? (/var/log/httpd/error_log or ssl_error_log)

I was able to upload a jpg

These errors appeared in the errorlog earlier

I tried uploading the file again just now however and it still didn't work but it didn't log anything either

Are you running an older version of XI? I believe the issue with custom includes was fixed some time ago.

5.4.3 it should be right up to date
