Display with specific hosts and services

Post by angpie01 »

Hello, I am looking to create a filter to be able to group some hosts and service. In the filters of the 'Operations center' I can only filter by Hosts or by services, not both at the same time ...
Thank you!

HI @angpie01,

Welcome to the Nagios Forum!

I would recommend creating a new service group in the CCM ( go to Configure > Core Configuration Manager ) with the desired services, then filtering on that service group in the Operations Center page.

Let me know if that would work for you.

Thank you. However when a service is used on several hosts I cannot add it to the services group. Only services that are only used on a host are available

You should be able to add a service to a service group, even if it was originally added to multiple hosts... I don't know why this is not working for you.

Are you getting an error when applying configuration? What is the version of Nagios XI that you are currently using?

Your servicegroup config should look something like this:

Code: Select all

define servicegroup {
    servicegroup_name    ServiceGroupName
    alias                ServiceGroupName
    members              Host1,MyService,Host2,MyService,Host2,MyService...
}
