Opscreen guest view

Post by ruffsense »

Is it possible to make the Opscreen visible for guest view. So i can add it to a monitor without logon to nagios.
I don't insult, I diagnose.

Here's how you can do this.

1. Make sure that your system allows insecure logins (Admin > System Config > System Settings > Backward Compatibility > Allow Insecure Logins = checked > Update Settings)

2. Add a "read-only" user, who can can see all hosts and services, and has API access. Under the user's setting, enable insecure login for this user, and click on "Update User".

3. Log in as your "read-only" user, click on the username in the upper-right corner, and copy the insecure login ticket of this user. You will need it later.

4. Go to Home > Quick View, right-click on the "Operations Screen" link, and open it in a new tab. Use this URL, along with the useraname and insecure ticket (from step 3) to create a new URL that you are going to be using. It should look like this:

Code: Select all

Hope this helps.
