Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I would like to create a large set of users, roughly over 200 users, in Nagios XI. Our users are defined in our LDAP Directory. Instead of creating them one by one through the Nagios interface, I would prefer if we can import them from our corporate directory and leverage the LDAP component to enable authentication. Automating the creation of the contacts or contact groups seems easy. The difficult part seems to be creating it on the Nagios XI side. Does anyone have any recommendation on how to proceed or could point me to documentation that may help? Writing code and inserting data to the database to do this isn't a problem if it comes to that. But, I would rather consider doing that as a last resort.

As of right now that would be the best and only solution I can think of, though I would not recommend doing that manually, or scripted for that matter. This would be a nice feature to add into the component however. The AD component does have a dropdown list of users and it "MAY" work with your LDAP users. I would try giving that a shot.
