Views section: Newly added view does not display

[Phisith]

Nagios XI, version 5.4.13

After adding a new view:
- Nothing happens when clicking on the newly added view
- View doesn’t show up in the view rotation

Steps to repro:
1. Click on ‘Views’ --> “Add New View”
2. Enter title and URL and click submit
3. Under ‘My Views’, click on the new link that was added

I was not able to recreate the issue in Nagios XI 5.4.13. I added a new view:

and I can see if just fine. It is also included in the rotation.

What is the URL that you are using? Do you see any errors when you inspect the element in the browser (F12)?

[Phisith]

No external link works. The screenshot is a test for www.google.com. It doesn't show anything except for a blank page.

After pressing F12. I see an error "The requested URL /nagios/views/www.google.com was not found on this server (see F12_error-2.png).

And also notice a java error on the debug screen (see F12_error-1.png).

Google won't work - it's a setting on their site. They don't allow loading iframes in the browser (as many other sites). Try adding 'https://www.nagios.com/'. Did this work?

[Phisith]

https://www.nagios.com/ worked.

Is there a way for me to check if a site will work in the Nagios XI view rotation (short of adding it and see what happens)?

https://www.nagios.com/ worked.

No, you pretty much are going to have to trial/error.

I will note you need to add the full url including https:// otherwise XI thinks it is local and just a path on the nagios server.

@Phisith, you could use a php script to try to find out if you could use this website in Views.

Example php script (test.php):

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
$url = $argv[1];
$header = get_headers($url, 1);
//echo $header["X-Frame-Options"];
if ((@$header["X-Frame-Options"] == "DENY") || (@$header["X-Frame-Options"] == "SAMEORIGIN") || (@$header["X-Frame-Options"] == "ALLOW-FROM")) {
        echo "You can't use this website\n\r";
} else {
        echo "Go ahead. You can use this website\n\r";
}
?>

The way you would use it is by running the following from the command line:

Code: Select all

php test.php <url>

where you substitute <url> with the actual URL of the website. See below:

Code: Select all

[root@main-nagios-xi tmp]# php test.php https://www.npr.org
Go ahead. You can use this website
[root@main-nagios-xi tmp]# php test.php https://www.yahoo.com
You can't use this website

Hope this helps.

Nice! Thank you for the php script.
