Question about publishing apps monitored by Nagios

[tgfde]

Hello,

Is there a way to publish what Nagios is monitoring without the user loggig into the UI?

Setup:
Nagios XI 2011R2.2
Cent OS 6
vmWare

Thanks,
tgfde

What do you mean by publish? You would like them to be able to see hosts and services without having a valid login?

[abrist]

Are you asking for a list of what is being monitored, the current active status of monitored systems, or the results of checks?

[tgfde]

I would like them to be able to see hosts and services without having a valid login.

Thanks.

Are you looking for certain bits of information on a separate web page? Or emailed reports? What is the use case or targeted implementation?

[tgfde]

Certain information on a web page that gets dynamically updated with the status of the service/host.

Thanks.

2 ways.

1. you can get the data in XML format to integrate using the Backend API URL component
Admin -> Manage Components -> Backend API URL -> edit

2. Would be to create a read-only user account, then you can get the ticket from the Backend API URL and you can tack those on to most URL's in XI to auto-login
for example:
/nagiosxi/includes/components/xicore/status.php?show=services&hoststatustypes=2&servicestatustypes=28&serviceattr=10&username=nagiosadmin&ticket=q6jjimi4

For option 2, can you explain further? What do yo mean by ticket?
FYI - I don't have Backend API URL installed yet as a component.

Thanks.

Ok installatio of backend api is complete and tested ok.

However I'm having trouble viewing the services status. Below is what Im using:
