Why Google Analytics in web interface for XI

[skyslayer]

I am running a demo of XI and if I can not remove Google Analytics from this product I will not be buying it!
There is no justification to this that I see and I feel it is a invasion or our privacy.

Why would I want to use Google Analytics on a product that monitors our systems!!!!!!!! this is a no no

How do I disable it????

This will be a deal braker

Well I'm confused. As far as myself and two other techs know, Google Analytics does not ship with any of our products. Can you post a screenshot of what appears to be Google Analytics?

EDIT: I did some searching and I guess this was also around back in 2012: http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... =20&t=6656

The solution is to edit /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php as follows:

Code: Select all

$cfg['enable_analytics']=0;

and then

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

Sorry about the initial confusion. I only found the one reference to G.A. being included. Now I should note that it is only in the trial version of XI, and is disabled when you buy a license. It is there for our purposes so we can get a good idea of how many people are using the trial. Always nice to know we're liked :)

This is at the bottom of the Administration page it looks like it is on all the pages
I noticed it because of my noscript was letting me know



<script type='text/javascript'>

var _gaq = _gaq || [];
_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-2887186-1']);
_gaq.push(['_setAllowLinker', true]);
_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

(function() {
var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;
ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';
var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(ga, s);
})();

</script>

Did you disable it through the .cfg? Strange, noscript was telling me nothing, maybe its time for an update..

[skyslayer]

Yes I did disable it and now it is good
I think I was writing my last post as the last reply came in.


After flowing the above post it is now gone By the way this is the latest version installed Last Friday

I am still not happy with the fact that you guys put there in the first place
Thanks
