[rnjie]

so i have AD integrated to nagios and i am only able to add users and not groups, when i add an OU containing everyone in the company, i see the folders but no users pop up, does nagioxi have the capability to add user groups from AD? see attached screenshot of what i mean

Hi

Adding users via AD groups is currently a feature request but I don't have any information on if or when it would be included. Something available now that can make things easier is that newer versions(5.5.x) allow users and auth servers to be added via a REST api. One could write a script that would add users via this interface. Check out the Users and Auth servers section under Help > REST API Docs > System Reference for some example curl commands that do this.

Thanks

Hi

A feature request has already been created for the adding users via AD groups functionality. There is no ETA
as to when it will be available.

Currently you can add AD users using the existing functionality. This document explains that functionality:

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks
