Custom Home Page Roll-Out

[bchabotdg]

Hello,

I'd like to roll out a custom home page to a support department that consists of the results of a search string. Not sure how to do this or even if it is possible.

When logged in to Nagios XI, I run a search query, say "Uptime, CPU, Memory, etc." and it displays all those checks. I sort the results by Status to see the alerting service checks first. This gives me handy information I want to pass on to a subset of my users. I want these results with this sorting method to be the first thing they see when they log in to Nagios.

My first thought was to make the search results into a dashlet. There's no intuitive way for this, so I exported the URL and used the URL dashlet, but deploying that, no one else could see it. There was also no way to deploy it to the "Home Dashboard".

I'm kind of at a loss here. Any ideas?

You should be able to use Admin > Manage Components > Home Page Modification > Options to set force a specific one. Will that work for you?

That gives me the options of:
- Static XI 5 Home
- Home Dashboard
- Custom URL

Setting it to Home Dashboard would allow a deployment, but this doesn't seem to allow for the search results to display as a dashlet.

I tried to add an "External URL" dashet and used the URL for the Pop-out of the search results. No one else was able to see it.

What about if you use this as the Custom URL:

Code: Select all

http://YOURXISERVER/nagiosxi/includes/components/xicore/status.php?show=services&search=Uptime,CPU,Memory

You should be able to use the Home Page > Custom one or the Custom URL Dashlet and use that URL.
