Nagios not working except for local host

[Frost, Mark {BIS}]

Martin,

Remember that the UI shows you hosts and services based on the user you're logged into the UI as (or the user that apache thinks you are and then passes that on to the Nagios CGIs).   The hosts/services shown to a userid in the UI are based on either what Nagios thinks that user is a contact for (i.e. that id is a contact for a given host or service therefore you see it in the UI) or based on what settings you have for that user in your cgi.cfg file.

So if you're logged in as "martin" in the UI and "martin" doesn't match a contact in Nagios, then you would want to change your cgi.cfg to give "martin" permissions to say view all hosts, etc.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios not working except for local host

Hello,

My Nagios server died and I am having to rebuild (ran well for the best part of two years).  I am running Nagios Core 3.4.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 and have added pnp4nagios 0.6.19.  Nagios and pnp4nagios were installed from source. I believe I have configured it correctly but I have obviously missed something.

My Nagios pre-flight check shows no errors (one warning about a host with no services assigned - which I am aware of), it correctly lists the number of hosts and services but, when I go to the web interface, it only shows the local host.

Can anyone suggest where I might start troubleshooting this?

Thanks very much.
