Mass Nagios Node update

Post by jsalsbury »

Good evening,
I recently got a new on-call support application and we are changing out emails that it reaches out to. Each group has their own email and I am finding it quite time-consuming to update each host one at a time. Is there a way to add this new email to them as a back? Like from the hosts screen?

Thanks

Are you just adding a contact to the hosts or what specifically are you changing on them?

If you have the enterprise license you can use Configure > Core Config Manager > Tools > Bulk Modifications Tool > Add a Contact to bulk add a contact to hosts/services. Will that meet your needs?

Thanks for responding. Our new on-call is being separated out by the application. So one application may have 20 hosts and another has 10. And each application has a different contact email. So I am trying to not have to do that one host at a time.
