Get List of contact groups for service/host

[cmif]

Hi,

Is there a way to view all the contact groups that can view a particular alarm in the status detail page. The servicegroups and hostgroups that the service/hosts are part of, are already being shown. I could not find a way to add this even by using the backend cmds

Is there a way to accomplish this? Maybe I am missing something

Thanks

Currently, this isn't going to be possible. You would need to look from the Configure -> Core Config Manager and find the host / service here.

I did file a feature request for this though, so it may make it into a future version!

Code: Select all

NEW TASK ID 11101 created - Nagios XI Feature Request: Add ability to see who is enabled on notifications from host / service detail level

Thanks. It would really be useful to have such functionality to determine if the right people can view the alarm being shown.

If you were feeling particularly ambitious, you could probably script this out using the Core JSON CGIs located here:

Code: Select all

http://<nagios_host>/nagios/jsonquery.html

If I wanted to get all the contacts under the host "mywmi.host.com" for the service "CPU Usage", I could run the following query:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.67.1/nagios/cgi-bin/objectjson.cgi?query=service&hostname=mywmi.host.com&servicedescription=CPU+Usage

Which will return a lovely JSON object:

Code: Select all

Attribute of note:

Code: Select all

"contacts": [

      ],

Where the bob1 contact is inherited through the "IT Admins" contact group.
