However, they want to see a, b, c, x, y, and z in the CGI front-end. This would be possible if we disable notifications for service a, b, and c--except that other people want those notifications.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If some sort of "visibility" directive were added to hosts and services. You could specify contacts which can see the host/service in the CGI/PHP front-end, but receive no notifications. This directive should be additive to the contacts (contactgroups) directive in that anyone who is being notified for a host/service automatically has visibility.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I also will add to the article my thoughts that the host/service visibility logic should be reversed. A contact with visibility to the host should not see ALL services, but a contact with visibility to a service should be able to see the host on which it resides. (example: A DBA doesn't necessarily care about the webserver service, but will always care about the oracle service or if the host is down.)</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Thoughts?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Marlo</DIV> <HR>NOTICE: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
