Just assign the services to a host group rather then a host.

i have host1 and host2 each of them has 5 service can i say to nagios just user SS can see host1 and specific alarms and just user BB can see host2 with specific service?

If the user SS is a contact then yes.

I wrote a document up which helps explain the process for Nagios XI, but it has the text configurations through Core too. It might help explain it to you. (see attached)

If I understand you correctly, all the authentication information you need is at https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... iauth.html

If that does not help, could you explain what you are trying to do in more detail? Thanks!

Please see my original comment, you need to add SS as a contact, not just as a name, or wherever you choose.

You need a contact definition: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ml#contact

Your contacts will go in your contacts.cfg. You can see the correct location for that file in your nagios.cfg. On the install I'm looking at right now, it's in /usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg. Wherever your other configs are, that's likely where contacts.cfg should go.

Please let us know if you have any additional questions.

i am very confused read document but that is complex please write an example

Posted: **Mon Dec 12, 2016 3:34 pm**

For clarity, the anchor tag should have taken you directly to the contact section of the document.

Here is a contact example:

Code: Select all

define contact{
	contact_name	contact_name
	minimum_value	0
	host_notifications_enabled	[0/1]
	service_notifications_enabled	[0/1]
	host_notification_period	timeperiod_name
	service_notification_period	timeperiod_name
	host_notification_options	[d,u,r,f,s,n]
	service_notification_options	[w,u,c,r,f,s,n]
	host_notification_commands	command_name
	service_notification_commands	command_name
}

Please let us know if you need additional examples.

Can you show the output of ls -la /usr/local/nagios/etc?

Also, can you post your nagios.cfg and contacts.cfg?
