Nagios Performance Graphs

[easy2kent]

I would like to display the performance graphs on an external website without having the employees login to view the graphs. Is there a way to do this or is this something that is not meant to be done with Nagios?

Running:
Other 2.6x Linux (32 bit)
VMWare image
No special configurations

Thanks

easy2kent,

Its not really designed to do that. There is however a backend API component that would allow you to do that.

However it takes some heavy configuration and is probably not an ideal choice if you're not into developing exactly what you want.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yeah that is pretty heavy on the configuration and my company doesn't have the time to do it. Just wanted something quick and simple.

Is there a user session timeout setting somewhere? I have looked but cannot find any documentation because if I could set that higher it may be the answer.

Thanks,
Kent

Under Admin > System Config > Automatic Login

You can specify a specific user to automatically login. You could set this user up to be read-only and only see the specific hosts/servces (using Nagios's mutlitenancy). This would allow for outsiders to view graphs/data.
