Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

How can we hide database passwords, ex

check_xi_postgres_db!-H emdb3.stil.dk --port=5432 --dbuser=xxxx --dbname=udb --dbpass="******" --action=database_size --warning=100GB --critical=110GB

so --dbpass is not visible ?

Best and thanks

You might find this documentation helpful:

Basically, you can define sensitive information (like database credentials) in the User Macros Component if you're using a recent version of Nagios XI. This would remove some (but not all) visibility from the Nagios XI GUI.

Thanks @mcapra for the help.
