Hi guys,
I need to setup for users so they can see just assigned servers. User1: Linux Servers, User2: Windows servers. How I can achieve this?

The common domain was generally introduced for contacts, time periods and commands. Not necessarily for hosts or services. The use of the common domain is also experimental and not all functions are guaranteed.

You can only write hosts and services defined in the common domain by clicking the "Write all configurations" button. The problem with this is that deleting these host and service objects from the common domain DOES NOT delete their respective configuration files on the target systems!

This is the reason why I do not recommend to define Host and Services in the common domain.

Martin can you expand on the concept of common with regard to hosts. If I add a common host, I cannot seem to write the file from either common or a specific data domain. The check fails with a comment that the file for the common host is missing. I have many common internet services that I want to monitor from all the nagios servers at the branches without having to define the hosts in every data domain.

I don't know omd and naemon and therefore don't know how compatible the systems are.

To check the configuration the "Nagios binary file" must be set correctly in NagiosQL under Administration -> Config targets for the selected domain. Also the "Nagios config file" has to be ckecked. I suspect for naemon that is the path to the naemon binary as well as the path to naemon.cfg. Generally NagiosQL checks the configuration this way:
"Nagios binary file" -v "Nagios config file"
So a "naemon -v /etc/naemon/naemon.cfg" should be possible with the right values and the right permissions. Don't forget to restart apache if the permissions are changed.

For a restart, NagiosQL sends an external command to the "Nagios command file" which normally is a PIPE. Does naemon have a command file? So insert this command file to "Nagios command file" and check the permissions for write to that file.

Hi there,
I'm using the OMD 3.0 dist which uses naemon instead of nagios.
I have been using nconf for several years, but would like to switch to nagiosql.
First of all there is a little issue the OMD generate the naemon.cfg file at every restart, so the "normal" naemon.cfg file is empty, so nagiosql thinks it is invalid... I have "fixed" this by adding cfg_dir and include_dir into the naemon.cfg file... so far to good....
I had imported the existing configuration and nagiosql is abel to write all the configuration files.
When trying to check the files, I get this error:
"The configuration could not be tested successfully. The Nagios binary may have crashed during the test. Please repeat the test or try using the commandline to test. A running Nagios service should not be restarted because the configuration may be invalid."
I have ensured that the webserver user (apache) is in the sudoers list with (ALL)... but I'm not even sure which command nagiosql is trying to execute here? I suspect "naemon -v /etc/naemon/naemon.cfg" which works if I execute it manually...

Another thing is when I eventually get past the config check... then I have to reload naemon...
In nconf I am able to specify which command should be executed to reload nagios... this command is "omd restart MySite nagios"... Am I able to modify the restart command in nagiosql aswel?

I really hope I can get this working because I have 10 setups which has to be "refreshed", and I would very much like to control all the configuration from one central server and push it out via SSH if possible... I also hope the OMD will eventually add nagiosql into their suite as the only thing they have left now is thruk for configuration changes, which isn't suited for larger configurations... (IMHO)...

A little help is much apreciated :-)

Ciao.
I'm not understand........
Why the ssh2 connection via command line works but if I use web interface I have a msg.
"Connection to remote system failed (SSH2 connection): <user>@<remotehost>
ssh2authpubkeyfile(): Authentication failed for <user>@<remotehost> using public key: Username/PublicKey combination invalid".

but from nagiosql host :

ssh -i /etc/nagiosql/ssh/id_rsa <user>@<remotehost>, work fine.

All conf as same by manual.........or not!?!

thanks,
Ivano.

Is there any way to change the name of a host without losing all the Nagios history for that host?

Thanks for that explanation. My difficulty is that I didn't create these entries, at least not deliberately. They appeared after NagiosQL crashed while I was working on a normal entry. Most of them match legitimate hosts but one has a name which does not appear in the normal list. That one gets written to the services file but nowhere else leading to a complaint when Nagios checks the files.

Most of the crashes I seen recently, and I've seen a lot recently, are recorded in the Apache log as "PHP Notice: Undefined index: domain|userid in /var/www/html/nagiosql33/functions/nag_class.php on line xxx, referer: http://wiki.dom1.taus.us.thales/nagiosQL/admin/servicegroups.php". The line number reported varies: 321, 355, or 373 for domain, and 454 for userid. Of course, these errors could be because I'm still using PHP 7.0 on a system where 7.1 is standard, waiting for you to declare the 7.1 changes official.
