Any way to filter certain hosts from appearing in Fusion?

[vAJ]

I have to monitor some DEV/QA systems with a NagiosXI instance that mainly monitors production. I'd like to keep the NOC from seeing issues with DEV/QA.

Any way to filter certains hostgroups out of the Fusion OpsCenter dashboard?

At this time there is no way to filter by hostgroup but I believe it is possible to to exclude a list of hosts by modifying the following file

/usr/local/nagiosfusion/html/includes/components/nocscreen/nocfetch.php

around line 192 and line 208 in the noc_get_host_problems_url() & noc_get_service_problems_url() functions, if we add a line to each like:

Code: Select all

$backendargs["host_name"]=nin:HOST1,HOST2;

where HOST1,HOST2 is a comma separated list of your hosts to exclude, it will exclude them from the Fusion OpsCenter dashboard

Possible to use wildcards?

The hosts in question all have the same prefix which is unique to DEV/QA.

You cannot use wildcards with the component's backend per say, but there are some useful arguments you could use to ignore certain string matches.
From the backend code comments:

Code: Select all

// beginning string match
case "lks":
LIKE 

// negative beginning string match
case "nlks":
NOT LIKE

// ending string match
case "lke":
LIKE 

// negative ending string match
case "nlke":
NOT LIKE

// mid string match
case "lk":
case "lkm":
LIKE

// negative mid string match
case "nlk":
case "nlkm":
NOT LIKE

// "in" match
case "in":
IN 

// negative "in" match
case "nin":
NOT IN

These can be used in php functions to limit results. To give you an example using the backend api passed through the url:

Code: Select all

https://<xi server ip>/nagiosxi/backend/?cmd=gethoststatus&host_name=nlk:DEV,nlk:QA

You would have to alter the php function to use the following backend commands:

Code: Select all

$backendargs["host_name"]=nlk:DEV,nlk:QA

Which would essentially match everything except hosts with hostnames that include "DEV" and "QA" (not-like).
