Custom web pages based on user? 🔗 link

Hello list,

We have a need to have certain services and hosts monitored by our help
desk, however still have some additional services monitored and available by
other staff members.  For example, for userA would have a display page with
all services (with or without grouping), however userB would have certain
services.  Something like:

userA:
hostA - conn cpu disk hardware http imap mailq memory msgs procs raid smtp
ssh
hostB - conn cpu disk hardware http memory msgs procs raid ssh
hostC - conn cpu disk hardware http memory msgs procs raid ssh

userB:
hostA - conn http imap smtp
hostB - conn http

User's would authenticate so the web server would restrict access to those
pages.

Thanks in advance...

When you use page in bb-host you get this.  I would look to making pages for each section of hosts you want for each group and then user names for each directory (in the example it's radios58 and radios24).

However I'm still not clear on the hobbit end of things.  I mean, I need to
figure out how to generate the pages themselves in the sub directories (or
is it based on 'page' in bb-hosts)?

Also, would this mean that for every user I would have multiple entries for
the same host in bb-hosts with only the necessary checks to do? Would hobbit
attempt to do these checks twice though?

And finally, how about for tests that are generated from the hosts
themselves (ie disk, cpu, etc)? How can these be adjusted to display on some
pages and not others? I guess 'group-only COLUMN1|COLUMN2...' would help me
establish only the ones I want, right?

Any examples out there? TIA...

I would assume you put the host on there twice, that's all I could 
tell you.

I was just pointing you in a direction which you could look.  I have 
no experience to tell you any more information, sorry =(

List, I guess I need a bit more help.  The following works, except bbtest 
complains that there are duplicate entries:

smtp ssh
192.168.0.11 conn cpu disk hardware http memory msgs procs raid ssh

192.168.0.11 conn cpu disk hardware http memory msgs procs raid ssh

The idea here is that UserA would have access to http://site/UserA/index.html 
and nothing else...
