Isn't this EXACTLY the information that the web interface provides? The host details page shows what hosts you're checking, the service details page shows what services on which hosts you're checking, and the notifications reporting page shows what notifications have been sent out recently. If he wants to know further details, your PHB can click on the configuration information and see who teh contact and contact groups are. That said... be careful about giving your boss THAT much access to things. Managers need to be kept on a short leash, lest they think they have the power to make changes. --------------------------- Hi Jim - Thanks for the response... definitely agree with the short leash comment! :) I should have been more specfic... yes, all the information is available by clicking through the web-interface, but I'd rather see a simple document that just listed everything... or even more horid, could be exported as a CSV file. Thay way management could get an inventory of Nagios monitored "stuff" ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
