Show Birdseye without password

Post by jvd »

Good afternoon,


I want to show the birdseye dashboard without a password. I have read about: a Backend API URL @:
https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewto ... 16&t=47945

But it seems to be replaced with:
API - Objects Reference


It is not clear to me how i can make Birdseye to show without athentication, but with an api url.

Could someone point me in the right direction, thanx.

That is correct, the Backend API URL is deprecated.

You would need to generate Auth Tokens to provide access without username/password:

See Help > Auth Tokens in the XI web interface.

Then use the token in the URL:

Code: Select all

http://YOURXISERVER/nagiosxi/includes/components/birdseye/birdseye.php?token=XXXXXXXXXXX
NOTE: Auth Tokens are one-time use.
