Nagios user and permissions

Nagios user used by this extension must have CGI access to the state of all Nagios environment. You can use admin user or you can create a new one dedicated for the extension.

Let’s say we have nagiosadmin as an admin user and we are going to create new user dynauser

Create user

  1. Locate full path to your htpasswd.users file. It’s usual locations are

  • /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users

  • /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users

2. Let’s say path is /usr/local/nagios/etc so issue command to add user htpasswd /usr/local/nagios/etc/htpasswd.users dynauser

3. edit file cgi.cfg, it is located in same directory as htpasswd.users and add after your admin user newly created dynauser

  • authorized_for_system_information=nagiosadmin,dynauser

  • authorized_for_configuration_information=nagiosadmin,dynauser

  • authorized_for_all_services=nagiosadmin,dynauser
