Delete a user without affecting alerts created by the user

Post by devops-india »

How can we delete a nagios log server user without affecting the alerts setup by the user?

We have a user in NLS who has created many alerts and now left the organization. We can not keep that user active for security reasons. Will deleting the user affect the alerts setup/created by him in nagios log server console?

Please guide us on this.

Hi devops-india,
I have tested removing couple users on my Nagios LS (v2.1.7) which has created multiple alerts.
Those alerts were not removed (delete) after those users has been deleted.

However, this is NOT true for "Nagios XI" though .... all "Dashboards" belong to that user will be removed after user has been deleted.
So be careful ... :-)

Hope this helps!!
