Simplified Status View

[Carroll, Jim P [Contractor]]

One simple way would be to create another contact group and add those users
to the group.  This assumes of course that you have all the other cgi.cfg
params set correctly, eg:

use_authentication=1
authorized_for_system_information=*
authorized_for_configuration_information=*
authorized_for_system_commands=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_services=nagiosadmin,guest
authorized_for_all_hosts=nagiosadmin,guest
authorized_for_all_service_commands=nagiosadmin
authorized_for_all_host_commands=nagiosadmin

Once you have the new contact group set up (with the desired end users in
that group), you would add them to the contact_groups directive for each of
the desired services.

If you don't like this approach, there was someone on the list a while back
who mentioned using postnuke to get some sort of frontend set up for Nagios
to do something like you describe.  If you're interested, I'll dig it out
and forward it to you.

Hey all, 
Has anybody created a CGI/method which gives a 'dummed down' view of
selected service/host status. 
The idea being to provide a Service Status Information page for end users to
look at, with a list of core services e-mail, intranet, databases and colour
coding for the status (red amber green) - similar to Service Status pages
found on most ISP pages.
If not I will have to create one, but I was thinking (OK... hoping) that
there is no point in re-inventing the wheel! 
Thanks 
Chris
