Nagios Support Forum

Hello,
we have nagios xi up and monitoring and i am doing POC for my organisation. currently we are in free trail period, the landing page has default dashlets which can be edited. is there any way to edit and remove the "we are here to help" and "start monitoring" dashlet on the default page.

Thanks

Hi, @Johnsmit. You could override the home page with a custom dashboard:

1. Go to the Dashboards menu and create a new dashboard. Add 2 dashlets to the dashboard -> Service Status Summary and Host Status Summary.
2. Copy the new dashboards url: 2. Go to the Admin Menu, then Manage Components and find the Home Page Modifications Component
Click on the edit wrench next to the component, select -> Custom URL and paste the link from Step#2.

Let me know if this works for you.

hi,
Thanks for replying.
its working on my admin login but when the user login i got the following error.
am uploading both admin home page modification and client home page error.

@Johnsmit,
1.Go to Admin --> Manage Components --> Backend API URL. Copy the username and ticket id for your user from any of the urls listed in the component for the user.
2. Go to your Dashboard and right click on the link and open it in a new window.
3. Append the url with the ticket and username parameters copied above.
4. Use this url in your other dashboard. It should resemble: 5. Use the URL from the step #4 as a Custom URL in the Home Page Modification Component.

Let me know if this works for you.

Hi,
its throwing an error.

I used this as custom URL in manage components page.
http://server/nagiosxi/backend/?cmd=get ... name=mohan &ticket=JuEUSfQntNfcXZRsoRt08ENfr4c32cnL0iVSQ2fjOtP3MGuaN2rVVuqnBFpCR6DR

As i am specifying a single user, the dashboard is for single user but if i need to set it as a default to all the users then what should i have to do.

Thanks,

Are you using the backend api ticket or the REST api token?

Use the backend api token for that user.

Which dashboard are you wanting for all users? Did you create one already that doesn't use the backend ticket?

You should be able to deploy that dashboard to all users as the home page.

In the XI Home Page --> Dashboards --> under dashboard tools, click Deploy dashboards.
