There has been discussion on the nagios-users board about external
execution of commands. If you a need to provide a user with a read only
(no ability to submit commands) view of Nagios, there currently isn't way
that I have found.
Example of this are:
If you have a helpdesk and you only want them to be able to view
services/hosts current status and not give external commands.
An application administrator has their own services. There are other
services such as disk space which are useful to them. They should only
have view and not be able to issue commands.
If you define a contact-group for a service, they can view and issue a
command.
If you define a contact-group for a host, they can view and issue commands
to the host and all services
If you use escalation, the contact group can view and issue commands to
that object similar to above.
What if the escalation portion was changed. If you are only identified as
a contact through escalation, you will only have a view and not the
ability to give commands? Not sure how much effort is involved but what
do you think? Are there plans to support this in another method OR have
I missed something.
Help appreciated.
