Getting URL's for Views

Post by optionstechnology »

The views tab is very handy for storing pre-set groups without having to search for them each time

But as the full URL's are hidden when you browse to them via the front end its very hard to figure out how to actually get it to display what you want

Is there any way to turn on the full url's so I can cut and paste them>?

You can find the URL to a given view by clicking the ? (question mark) icon in the top right of a view > then right click Host and Service Details Overview select Copy Link Location from the dropdown link > and paste that link in the URL bar of your browser > make the page a favorite or home page in your browser for easy access.

ok I tried this after running a search, but it just links to "/nagiosxi/includes/components/xicore/status.php?show=services#" and doesn't apply the search filter

any idea how to do that?

Click on the search icon ( magnifying glass ) on the top bar near the right > type your query in the field provided and hit enter > on that page, click the icon composed of three horizontal lines on the top right > click the chain link icon from the dropdown provided > click the Copy to Clipboard button on the popup > and paste the permalink into the URL bar in your browser or share with your best bud.

Your link may look like the following. This example is what I got when I searched for linux servers on my XI instance.

Code: Select all

https:// [ IP address ] /nagiosxi/index.php?xiwindow=%2Fnagiosxi%2F%2Fincludes%2Fcomponents%2Fxicore%2Fstatus.php%3Fshow%3Dhostgroups%26hostgroup%3Dlinux-servers
