things that are bugging me

Post by oxyma »

Hi..
We are using NagiosXi for quite some time now. There are a few thing bugging use..
It would be very nice to be able to influence the height en the width of the select boxes as they are now mostly to low and to narrow, and hard to scroll by when there are a lot of hosts. This would be rather easy if all the divs have a fixed id/class name. Also it would be nice to be able to change default wizard configuration as we use different timings. The CCM should use the same authentication method as the nagiosxi and core, in our case it's LDAP.
In the CCM when someone is member of a group.. That group should have the same person as member.

An open question:
We have multiple servers on a cluster, on each server are more then one websites/databases. If the cluster fails we just want to know the cluster fails.. we do not want to know the servers fail and most certainly not that the websites fail..
I was hoping this would be automatic with parent child relations. but I guess i should use host escalations for this ?!?

What do you mean by size of boxes? Which boxes are you referring to? As far as LDAP in the CCM goes, can you submit a feature request to:

tracker.nagios.com

Thank you!

Have you considered BPI groups for your clusters? Parent child relationships between hosts would also work, but the issue with auto assigning them is there is not really a way to tell if another object is a member of a physical / virtual cluster, as in nagios they are just hosts and services.

With the boxes I mean the bozes where you can select hostgroups/servicegroups etc during the configuration of a service and/or host
