Nagios Support Forum

When I try to acknowledge an alert all while logged in to the Nagios web interface as nagiosadmin, I get a message which says:

Sorry, but you are not authorized to commit the specified command.

Is the user account you are logged in as a read only user?

Admin > Users > Manage Users

I am the admin

Does the command pipe exist? Is cgi.cfg configured correctly? Have you implemented ldap/AD authentication in XI recently?

I have not...
