Services filtering

Post by larry.lo »

Hi,
How can I search services config by multiple criteria when I configure Services. (Configure > Core Config Manger)
Since we have many same services name for different hosts, it is difficult to change the config one by one.

(My company is using Nagios XI)

example:
I would like to edit the two services.
1. Config Name=AD1, Service Description= CPU Usage
2. Config Name=AD2, Service Description= CPU Usage

If I search "CPU Usage", it will show all services that contain "CPU Usage", but I only want it to show "CPU Usage" of AD1 and AD2.
Thanks.

You could put "CPU Usage" in the search field and then use the Filter By Config Name to select the servers you need to edit.
Is that what you are looking for?

I want to list out these two items at the same time, so that I don't need to change the "Filter", is it possible?
thanks.

Currently, it isn't possible. I can file a feature request though, if you'd like?

Yes...please help to proceed.
It is very important for us. Since we always change the configuration on many hosts.
Thanks.

I have filed the feature request internally, ID #8850. It's now up to the developers so we will see what they think!

Are we good to mark this thread as resolved?
