XI doesn't show object notes

[niebais]

In core, if an object has notes configured:

define host {
...
notes this is a host note
}

the note will be shown on the host/service detail page. This behavior doesn't appear to exist in XI. There is the "Object Notes XI Component" but this doesn't show the notes configured on the object. Does XI show the notes, and I just can't see them? If not, is there something that will show them?

I don't think you can see the notes in XI "out of the box", however, as a "workaround", you can click on the "See this host in Nagios Core" link under the "Advanced" tab.

Ya, I've seen that link as well. I was hoping that it might be there and I just couldn't see it or if there was a component that did show them.

Have tried the following component?

Ya. It doesn't show the notes that are configured on the object. It just allows you store custom notes which aren't stored on the object.

You can add a "Notes URL" under the "Misc Settings" tab, something like:

Code: Select all

http://<ip>/nagios/cgi-bin/extinfo.cgi?type=1&host=<hostname>

Then you can click on the "Notes URL for this host" to view the notes:
