Nagios Support Forum

Hi

How to add more read-only full view users to the CORE?

Thank you

@dlukinski, Here's what I did:
1. Create a new user via command line: 2. Create a contact for the new user:
nano /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/contacts.cgf 3. Open the cgi.cgf file: nano /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg
Find and chnage the following lines: 4. Restart Nagios and apache 5. Only If nagios will get stuck at verifying configuration during the step 4:
killall -9 nagios
service nagios start

That should do it.

Code: Select all

htpasswd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users newusername

2. Create a contact for the new user:
nano /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/contacts.cgf

Code: Select all

define contact{
        contact_name                    newuser            ; Short name of user
        use                             generic-contact         ; Inherit default values from generic-contact template (defined above)
        alias                           newuser           ; Full name of user
        email                           newuser@localhost        ;
        }

3. Open the cgi.cgf file: nano /usr/local/nagios/etc/cgi.cfg
Find and chnage the following lines:

Code: Select all

authorized_for_read_only=newuser
authorized_for_all_services=nagiosadmin,newuser
authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin,newuser[/code
4. Restart Nagios and apache[code]service httpd restart
service nagios restart

5. Only If nagios will get stuck at verifying configuration during the step 4:
killall -9 nagios
service nagios start

That should do it.

This worked. Thank you, please close the case
