Nagios Support Forum

Hi.
I would like to limit some users to BPI usage..
What they need is to get alerts when their BPI process isn't healthy anymore.
They need to be able to drill down in their process through the interface but not receive any alerts from the checks.

Whilst other user (mainly administrators) need to have the alerts of the checks..

The problem lays in the fact that bpi users need to be member of the checks (or through a contactgroup) thus they will get the alerts as they are check based and not group based.

Anybody have a elegant solution for this ?!?

easiest is just to create an extra user that does have privileges on the service checks and host checks but doesn't receive any notifications...

That would make sense, and should suite your needs. This way they would also only have access if they happened to get into the nagios interface, to what they see in bpi.
