Hi All,

We have Nagios XI and we are monitoring multiple flavours of Operating System. We have requirement wherein as per the security norms, the IP addresses of any monitored devices should not be seen to a normal user(non admin) of the application.
Is there way we can achieve this?

Non-admin users won't be able to see ANY objects (hosts or services) in Nagios XI, unless they are added as monitoring contacts to these objects or the Can see all hosts and services check-box has been selected for these users under the Edit User page (Security Settings section).

Other words, if you added a contact to a host, this contact will be able to see the IP address of this host. It you don't want certain users to see the IP of a host, don't add these users as a monitoring contacts to the host - simple as that.

Hope this helps.
