Nagios Support Forum

I see that many of the Nagios tables include columns called config_id and access_rights. I don't see these documented anywhere on the usage. The access_rights always seems to be null and the config_id is always populated with number 1. Can someone tell me the purpose of these and whether and how they can be updated? Thanks.

As a note, doing direct database manipulation can cause instability within your Nagios XI installation.

If you look at the main page for NagiosQL, which the Core Config Manager is based upon, config_id is used to support multiple configuration sets:

Support for several configuration sets on different Nagios servers (domains)
Common domain for standardized configuration objects

I don't *think* the CCM takes advantage of this functionality, but I'd be happy to have a tech correct me

Again from the NagiosQL main page:

Security system for object based user/group access rights

Nagios XI, specifically the CCM, handles this a bit differently than NagiosQL.

There are a handful of unused artifacts lying around in the NagiosQL tables. access_rights appears to be one of them.

Thanks for the assist, @mcapra! @toneill2000 , let us know if you have any further questions.

@mcapra,
This might be kind of a newbie question but I see you cite NagiosQL documentation. Does that mean I'm using this configuration tool for my Nagios installation? I thought I was just using Nagios XI 5.4.13 CCM. Thanks for your time on this.

The CCM in XI is based on the NagiosQL so much of the documentation will apply to CCM as well. config_id and access_rights, as @mcapra pointed out, are artifacts of this.
