I want to know how to restrict a hostgroup to a specific group of users in icinga. In case that many organizations use the monitoring system, they can only see what's inside their hostgroup/s
After a fresh install of icinga 1.8 and icinga web I've added a few hosts/services and restarted the icinga service. Next I cleared the cache in icinga web through the web interface by clicking on admin at the top of the screen and clear cache. then reloaded the icinga-web interface and the newly added host/services were not displayed.
The icinga logs do not show any issues, I've also run /etc/init.d/icinga showerrors and no errors or warnings displayed.
I've searched everywhere for a solution and I've read all the documentation from icinga but haven't found any references to this issue anywhere.
I know the sms gateway for my cell phone provider so I can just send an email to it.
I am looking for examples of entries in contacts.cfg and commands.cfg that are mobile specific.
So I've just installed Icinga and Icinga-Web. And everything looked ok when first inspecting the UI's on http://[server]/icinga/ and http://[server]/icinga-web/...
I went on and added some new hosts, services, commands, etc. and reloaded the icinga service, without problems. Then I flushed the icinga-web cache and restarted the apache2 service, again no problems.
After reloading the configuration, all of the new hosts and services shows up just fine, in the old icinga UI, and the checks are running perfectly, well almost ;) (see below).
However, in the new icinga-web interface it's a completely different story. The icinga-web UI still shows the hosts from the initial configuration (a single 'localhost' host with 8 services). The UI also shows the 'default' instance as being 'down' in the header status, and that 'the data is X minutes old' (see below).
I've tried retracing my steps, by re-reading the icinga-web installation guide, but I can't figure out what I've done wrong or how to correct it. I've also tried to fiddle with the access.xml and databases.xml configuration files.
What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?
how do I add a host in icinga-web? Do I need to modify access.xml and rebuild the cache? Or can I have a configuration similar to icinga/nagios?
