Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

Is it logged somewhere when a user executes a quick action? Imho it would be a nice addition to add the quick actions usage to the Nagios XI audit logs?

Tested on 5.5.8, the option to disable/enable host notifications make entries to the audit log:

cmdsubsys: User submitted a command to Nagios Core: ENABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS;localhost
cmdsubsys: User submitted a command to Nagios Core: DISABLE_HOST_NOTIFICATIONS;localhost

as is the force check:

cmdsubsys: User submitted a command to Nagios Core: SCHEDULE_FORCED_HOST_CHECK;localhost;1546882000

The ping, connect, and traceroute actions(found on the host) don't make entries to the audit log but, being web requests, they would appear in the apache logs(/var/log/httpd):

access_log:1.2.3.4 - - [07/Jan/2019:11:33:35 -0600] "GET /nagiosxi/includes/components/rdp/gordp.php?confirm=1&hostid=146&address=127.0.0.1 HTTP/1.1" 200 ...

access_log:1.2.3.4 - - [07/Jan/2019:11:33:36 -0600] "GET /nagiosxi/includes/components/tracerouteaction/traceroute.php?host=127.0.0.1&cmd=go HTTP/1.1" 200 ...

access_log:1.2.3.4 - - [07/Jan/2019:11:38:37 -0600] "GET /nagiosxi/includes/components/pingaction/ping.php?host=127.0.0.1&cmd=go HTTP/1.1" 200 ...

Thanks for the info. I was actually referring to custom command quick actions not the builtin ones.

I found that custom actions access url's start with:

/nagiosxi/includes/components/actions/runcmd.php?action=20&uid=70As7r&host=servername&service=servicename

What is missing in the apache logs is the user executing the quick action. Only the ip address is available. Any chance this could be added to the audit logs including the user executing the quick action?

@WillemDH , You are referring to custom actions created in the Custom Actions Component, right?

We're planning on adding more XI GUI/Backend CCM integrations in XI 6. This would be a good idea for a feature request.
I can submit it on your behalf if you'd like. Please keep in mind that the final decision to implement the enhancement is at the discretion development team.

Yes I'm indeed referring to custom actions created in the actions component. Please submit the feature request, adn you can close this thread then.

The feature request has been submitted. I am locking this topic. Thanks!
