Nagios Support Forum

Hi. Is there a way to list the current Nagios XI users and their activity?

@awilson, There is a way to list all XI users via the API command:

curl -XGET "http://192.168.3.155/nagiosxi/api/v1/sy ... W&pretty=1"

You'll need to replace my API key with yours.

As far as the user activity goes, you can view some of it in the Event Log. (Homepage -> bottom of the left column).
But it would be limited to Acknowledgments and Downtime. Any modifications to the host/service configs in the CCM are not associated with the users' activity and not logged. That is something we're looking into adding in the future.

Thanks!

Thank you for the API reference. The information I'm trying to get is who are the active logged on users to the Nagios XI platform. I didn't see an endpoint for that. Is that information in one of the databases?

Thanks!

@awilson, You could look into the xi_session table in the database and match active sessions with the user ID's.

echo "SELECT * FROM xi_sessions\G;" | mysql -uroot -pnagiosxi nagios

Or you could use this query to get the last login time for the users:

echo "SELECT * FROM xi_users\G;" | mysql -uroot -pnagiosxi nagiosxi

Other than that I can't think of anything.

Thank you. This is a great help. You can close this topic.

Cheers.

I was too fast. xi_sessions must be in PostgreSQL on my system. We are on 5.4.4

With postgres, you can use the following command instead:

@awilson, I checked the database tables on the XI 5.4.12 and didn't see the xi_sessions either. On the XI 5.5 the table is present. Here's the PSQL version of the second query that I gave you:

echo "SELECT * FROM xi_users\G;" | psql nagiosxi nagiosxi

Can you go to the Admin menu, then click on Manage users in the left column and see if the "Last Login" column is populated with timestamps?
