send scheduled report to contactgroup?

Post by lukesullivan »

I have a scheduled report which I'm happy with. In the development of it, I was having it send directly to my email address. I would like to use a contactgroup as the recipient list for the report. Is that something that is supported? It doesnt appear to be something that can be set in the web ui....

My reasoning is that the report needs to go to technical responders who already have access to nagios, and I would like to derive both the nagios access control and report distribution from the same object. When I add/remove technical staff from the contact group, I would like them to start/stop receiving the report, without having to also go edit the scheduled report. This would regularly save me time.

If that is not current functionality, can I submit an enhancement request for it?

thanks,

-Luke

Hi Luke,

Currently, sending a scheduled report to a contact group is not supported in Nagios XI, but I will submit a feature request for this. Please keep in mind the decision to implement the enhancement is at the discretion of the development team.

Appreciate your input, and let me know if you have any other questions.
