Any obvious way to do it (other then removing statusmap.cgi file?)
I made it unavalable for remote users with the following redirect placed
in nagios' cgi-dir directory (.htaccess file):
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^10\.1\.2\.
RewriteRule ^statusmap.cgi$ /cgi-bin/nagios3/tac.cgi [R=permanent,L]

[Nagios-users] alternative Status Map?
Are there alternative Status Maps for Nagios? Current implementation has at least these limitations: 1. With lots of monitored hosts, the map becomes unreadable / does not fit on the screen. The ideal would be if status map allowed to draw selected host groups only (right now, it allows host group selection, but the whole map with all hosts is rendered anyway; not selected hosts won't have icons/descriptions, but it doesn't help much with readability) 2. All nagios users can see the whole network structure for all hosts. Even if a given web user is not authorised to view certain hosts, he/she will see them anyway on the status map (without icons/descriptions). It can be even viewed as a security flaw.

Re: [Nagios-users] alternative Status Map?
Note that NagVis now also has an automap feature which I confess I don't really use, but if your network topology lends itself to that sort of map it could save you a whole load of effort dragging icons around the screen. Another one well worth looking at is NExSM. It can be a bit of a mare to get it installed and working, but for a large network is probably the best of the bunch. Unlike NagVis it doesn't rely on NDOUtils (MySQL database). The upside of this is you don't have to install/run a MySQL database. The downside is that the amount of querying it does of your Nagios server can be a bit heavy (depending on your setup).
