Service in not visible in CCM

Post by ITOMB_IMT »

Hi,

currently we are hosting Nagios 5.6.3, we have a user who created a service through CCM, he can see the service status in GUI Dashboards. but he cannot see the service in CCM. as an admin i can see service but the user cannot.

service configuration:
define service {
service_description Application Server
use application_template
hostgroup_name INTEGRATION SERVERS
check_command check_nrpe!WebSphere_service!!!!!!!
initial_state o
max_check_attempts 5
check_interval 5
retry_interval 1
active_checks_enabled 1
passive_checks_enabled 1
check_period 24x7
process_perf_data 1
retain_status_information 1
retain_nonstatus_information 1
notification_interval 10
notification_period 24x7
notification_options w,c,u,r,
notifications_enabled 1
contacts contact
contact_groups unix_team
register 1
}

Is there any thing that i need to check?

Hello,

You have the option to set CCM privileges for the user account or make this user an admin to allow CCM access. To manage user privallages go to Admin > Manage Users and click on the user to edit their settings.

Hi,

i have the following settings on user, the user is assigned in the contact list but when the user navigates to CCM>services he cannot see the service config . He can see the service status in service status Dashboards.

Hello @ISSB_MAOST,

I tried to re-create this on my system (using 5.6.3), and didn't get the same behavior. Please try the following.

1. Have the user log out of Nagios XI and then log back in and then check the CCM again to see if he can view the service.

2. Next, temporarily assign the user full CCM access. Is he able to view the service in the CCM? What happens when you change the account back to the limited settings as configured?

Thank you.

1. user logged out amd logged in but he cannot see the service in CCM.
2. when he was assigned with full CCM access, he can see all the services like an admin. when the user account is changed to limited settings, the user cannot that service when he is assigned with.
Thanks,

Please do this exact process (just for testing):

Have the user logout.

Run this tail command and leave it running (as root):

Code: Select all

tail -Fn0 /var/log/httpd/error_log /var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/cmdsubsys.log /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/eventman.log
Apply Configuration.

Wait 10 minutes.

(yes, leave the tail command running)

Now have the user login and check.

Let us know if they see it, let us know their username, and send us the FULL output from the still running tail command so that we can do some investigating.

Thank you!

I want to start by saying I'm sorry the initial test of your findings was done incorrectly, and the tester thought you has a host also assigned to the service (not just a hostgroup).

After re-confirming what you found with the lead architect it is expected behavior, and there is not a way to work around it without adding the contact to a host and adding that host directly to the configuration created.

With the "limited" view that was added to the CCM, we have to make some sacrifices because there is no way to add permissions for a contact to a hostgroup or service group, only to the hosts or services.

The only way to allow someone to see these configs after being applied without making them an admin would be to grant the user "Can see all hosts and services" permissions.
