Viewing a subset of systems checked by Nagios

[Donnell Lewis]

Yes this is possible.  You would need to add the client(person) to the
contacts.cfg file and then either to an existing contact group in
contactgroups.cfg or make a new contactgroup specifically for that
client.  Unless given ALL privs in cgi.cfg every each user that has been
added to the authentication mechanism will only be allowed to see
hosts/services for which they are contacts for.

So remember to add the contactgroup you create to the host & the
services for that host ( in services.cfg ) and they will then be able to
see the host and associated services for it.  By adding this new contact
and contactgroup you can even specifically send them alerts of their own
at intervals they want them at, and when they log in through the web
interface they will only be able to see the hosts/services you have
given them access to, and when they look at the status map they will
only see the hosts/services you have assigned them, the rest will be ?
marks on the map, everywhere else they will just see theirs.

Hope that helps.
