Nagios Support Forum

Since upgrading to 5.8.2, non admin users are clocking on the Home Dashboard.

When a non-admin user opens Nagios the Host Status Summary and the Service Status Summary just give spinning progress wheels for 5-10 min. Admin users don't experience this. (I've uploaded a screen shot)

Any thoughts?

Hi @Matthew.Cary,

Can you post a screenshot of the user settings? I'll try to replicate this on my systems. Do you have an idea of how many users are logged in at a time? There could be an issue with the database calls as the system has to check each user's permissions before displaying the data. Try running the repair script and let me know if you see any improvement. Also, let's optimize the PHP settings as well and let me know if there's any improvement.

Lastly, please send over a system profile for us to review. Thanks, Benjamin

To send us your system profile.
Login to the Nagios XI GUI using a web browser.
Click the "Admin" > "System Profile" Menu
Click the "Download Profile" button

It appears that users with more rights don't have the issue.

The user who reported the problem is a DBA who only sees a subset of our hosts and doesn't have many rights in Nagios.


I'll try running the cleanup scripts and see if they help.

I was experiencing the same issue and can confirm that the code Benjamin posted works!
