Nagios Support Forum

Hi, i have couple of question related to NLS.

1. Is it possible to apply masking on sensitive info on logs in NLS? Is yes how to achieve it.

2. The NLS can set RBAC base on the source of devices. The same device (e.g: Application server) has 2 owner, application log (for application owner) and also server log (for system admin). What best can we address this situation.

Thanks,

At the moment that ability doesn't exist in Nagios Log Server. I'd say the best way you could effect that in your environment would be if each server had multiple ip addresses and you could send one type of log from one ip address and another type from another ip address.

That said, we are looking at adding much more granular access control to the entire product line. I can't make any promises of course, but this is an idea that I'll add to the list of things to consider.

Thanks Jason for the answer,

How about masking ability. How do we do it in NLS?

Thanks,

Like I said that functionality doesn't currently exist. I created an internal issue to investigate and implement it. I can't give you any promises as to a timeline for inmplementation, but keep an eye out for issue NLS#920 in the change log. Since I linked to this forum post in the issue, I'll try and remember to come back here and let you know when it gets updated.
