Performance Graph Bandwidth Differs From Network-Analyzer

Post by LAINFOSEC »

If you look at the image below you will see the data measured in the left column differs from each other. The top is XI showing the peak measure meant around 150-190mb whereas in the analyzer its showing 9gb. What is going on here? How can I make them match? Are they not suppose to match because they hold different responsibilities?

ALSO other administrators are only able to add comments to hosts/services that they are listed as contacts on. Is there a way around this or is it a planned change in one of the coming versions?

In the lower image look at the legend. You can see that Bytes is selected which is the amount of data being passed through. Click on Bytes/Sec to enable that metric and then click on Bytes to disable the original one.

I beleive a user needs the "Can control hosts and services" security setting to be able to add comments. https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... Rights.pdf

Does this help?

Thank you for that first bit!

As far as the user rights go, when you set someone as an admin, all those check boxes disappear as if the Admin automatically rates all of the privileges.

In the case I am talking about, I am talking about the other Admins. They do not have the ability to see the full network status map or add comments to things unless they are set as a notification persons in the host/service settings. So how do I reinforce the "Can control hosts and services" for an admin if the check box disappears when I select Admin?

I'll get back to you on this, it was my understanding that Admins can see/do everything.
