Suggested item to add: password textfield

[niebais]

One thing we've noticed over and over is the need to hide passwords when they are entered in as arguments. One way to do this would be to add a new argument field called $PARG$ which would be a password text field.

Nice idea. Here's a method that may work for you.

Edit /usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg and add your own $USERx$ variables (don't modify $USER1$ or $USER2$). You can then use the $USERx$ macro in your command definitions and the value won't appear in the Core Config Manager interface.

Hope that helps.

I'll give that a try, thanks!

It would be good if you could use the XI web interface to configure the values $USER3$ - $USER9$.
