It's not permanent; they would just need to log in with a username associated with the view they want to see. This presumes your original scenario where an entire data center is either active or passive. > Another way to think about what I am looking for is that I want to > have a > way to designate servers to be either "active" or "standby" servers. > All > servers have full monitoring set up but only "active" servers will > appear in > the "active" servers' alerts view that the NOC sees.

There's no way to do this natively that I know of, outside of recreating the cfg files dynamically and reloading. Perhaps I'm not thinking creatively enough but I just don't see a simple solution. If nagios is only checking the 'active' servers, or your only submitting passive results for those servers, those are the only ones that should show up in the Service Problems view, of course. You can send external commands to enable/disable active checks for specific hosts and services dynamically. That doesn't seem to entirely fit what you want though... -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
