Post by micollin »

I need a log/report that will show who submitted server and host commands,ie; disabling of notifications and active checks.

Currently, we don't have this capability in Nagios XI. If you enable logging external commands in the "nagios.cfg" file (log_external_commands=1), you will be able to view what external commands have been submitted (Home->Monitoring Process->Event Log), however it will not show WHO submitted them.
On the other hand, if you check the NagiosQL log (Core Config Manager->Config Manager Admin->Config Manager Log) you can see who modified a host or a service via CCM, but the log won't tell you WHAT exactly has been modified. Also, you are not going to be able to find logs on any external commands there.
If you installed the "History Tab Component", you would find some info there as well, but again, it is not the "whole picture".
So, there is some room for improvement. You can post a feature request on our bug tracker and hopefully we will have this functionality added to one of our future releases.
