Activate/Deactive services using a frontend.

[zaji_nms]

Hello,

I want to control the state of a service (activate/deactivate) using a custom frontend.
What methods does Nagios XI provide us to accomplish this action?

Is the Nagios CCM the only way todo this? If not, then kindly help us with the task.

Nagios XI 2012R1.7

You will probably want to look at event handlers. We have a few guides for using them to restart services below. You can use them as a starting point for creating more complex event handler actions:
Restart Linux Services
Restart Windows Services

EDIT: I was rereading your post, do you want to enable/disable service checks or start/stop services on hosts?

[zaji_nms]

Enable/Disable service checks.

You could disable active or passive checks on a host/service level from the front end service/host details page by clicking advanced, then clicking the "X" symbol next to either active or passive checks "depending on which you are using for the service/host."

That will work. Thanks.

Great, closing as resolved.
