# Main configuration format description

## General Information

The Main Configuration file is designed in plain text "ini"-like format. There are sections which are marked by the surrounding brackets [] and variables which have an assigned value. The variables have to be in the correct section so you have to ensure to have uncommented the section too. Semicolons (`;`) are used to mark comments. Sections and variables with a leading semicolon are commented out and won't be recognised by NagVis.

In a fresh NagVis installation there is no file with the default configuration. The default configuration is stored in the PHP-Code of NagVis. If there is a file `etc/nagvis.ini.php` which has stored configuration information it will override the default configurations. There is a file `etc/nagvis.ini.php-sample` with sample configuration values. All values are commented out.

## Description of the sections in detail

### global

All values which are used througout NagVis are stored in the global section.

Value | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
audit_log | 0 | Enable/Disable logging of security related user actions in Nagvis. For example user logins and logouts are logged in var/nagvis-audit.log.
authmodule | CoreAuthModSQLite | Defines the authentication module to use. By default NagVis uses the built-in SQLite authentication module. On delivery there is no other authentication module available. It is possible to add own authentication modules for supporting other authentication mechanism.
authorisationmodule | CoreAuthorisationModSQLite | Defines the authorisation module to use. By default NagVis uses the built-in SQLite authorisation module. On delivery there is no other authorisation module available. It is possible to add own authorisation modules for supporting other authorisation mechanism.
dateformat | Y-m-d H:i:s | The format of date and time shown in NagVis. Available options like in date function of php
dialog_ack_sticky | 1 | Is set to 1 by default to enable the preselection of the "sticky acknowledgement" checkbox in the problem acknowledgement dialog.
dialog_ack_notify | 1 | Is set to 1 by default to enable the preselection of the "notify acknowledgement" checkbox in the problem acknowledgement dialog.
dialog_ack_persist | 0 | Is set to 0 by default to disable the preselection of the "persist comment" checkbox in the problem acknowledgement dialog.
displayheader | 1 | Show header menu in maps. (Deprecated in 1.4. Moved as option "headermenu" to default and index section.)
geomap_server (new in 1.7) | http://geomap.nagvis.org/ | The server to use as source for the NagVis geomaps. Must implement the API which can be found here
http_proxy (new in 1.6) |  | The proxy server to use for external HTTP request.
http_timeout (new in 1.6) | 2 | The timeout in seconds for external HTTP requests.
language | en_US | Select default language to use in NagVis. There are several translations delivered by default: en_US (English), de_DE (German), fr_FR (French) and pt_BR (Brazilian Portuguese; since 1.4.4). Since NagVis 1.4 you have to select the languages in a new format ("en_US" instead of "english")
language_available | de_DE,en_US,es_ES,fr_FR,pt_BR | You may want to give your users a limited number of languages to choose from. You can control the behaviour without deleting the language files from your NagVis installation. If this value is left empty NagVis will fallback to all configured in languages. If you like to add a new language to your NagVis installation you need to add it to the list here.
language_detection | user,session,browser,config | This controls how NagVis tries to detect the language of the user to translate NagVis. NagVis knows several mechanisms to detect the language: - user: Explicit user selected language - session: When the user selects a language it is stored in the current session - browser: NagVis tries to detect the user language by the browser agent - config: The installation default language The order you set the options determines how NagVis uses the different mechanisms.
logonmodule | LogonMixed | Defines the logon module to use. By default NagVis uses the mixed auth module which trusts the username given in REMOTE_USER or displays a HTML logon dialog for requesting authentication information from the user when REMOTE_USER is not set. On delivery there are the following modules available: LogonMixed: The mixed logon module uses the LogonEnv module as default and the LogonDialog module as fallback when LogonEnv returns no username. This should fit the requirements of most environments. LogonDialog: This is an HTML logon dialog for requesting authentication information from the user. LogonEnv: It is possible to realise a fully "trusted" authentication mechanism like all previous NagVis versions used it before. This way the user is not really authenticated with NagVis. NagVis trusts the provided username implicitly. NagVis uses the configured environment variable to identify the user. You can add several authentication mechanisms to your webserver, starting from the basic authentication used by Nagios (.htaccess) to single sign-on environments. Simply set logonmodule to "LogonEnv", put the environment variable to use as username to the option logonenvvar and tell the authentication module to create users in the database when provided users do not exist. The option logonenvcreaterole tells the module to assign the new user to a specific role; set to empty string to disable that behaviour. LogonMultisite: This module uses the authentication provided by auth_* cookies which have been generated by Check_MK multisite when using the cookie based authentication. It is possible to add own logon modules for serving other dialogs.
logonenvvar | REMOTE_USER | Defines the environment variable to be used for fetching the authenticated user from the webservers environment. This option is only used with the logon modules LogonEnv and LogonMixed.
logonenvcreateuser | 1 | Tells the LogonEnv/LogonMixed module to create a user account for each unknown user who opens the NagVis pages. This option is only used with the logon modules LogonEnv and LogonMixed.
logonenvcreaterole | Guests | Tells the LogonEnv/LogonMixed module to create the user accounts with the given role associated. This option is only used with the logon modules LogonEnv and LogonMixed.
logon_multisite_htpasswd |  | The path to the htpasswd file which is used by multisite. Only used by the LogonMultisite module.
logon_multisite_secret |  | The path to the auth secret file which is used by multisite. Only used by the LogonMultisite module.
logon_multisite_createuser | 1 | Same as the above "logonenvcreateuser" option. Only used by the LogonMultisite module.
logon_multisite_createrole | Guest | Same as the above "logonenvcreaterole" option. Only used by the LogonMultisite module.
multisite_snapin_layout | list | Can be set to "tree" to change the layout of the multisite snapin contents to a tree which is built using the parent_map configuration option defined in the global sections of the maps.
only_permitted_objects | 0 | Enable/Disable access to permitted monitoring objects only. This is useful if you want to restrict the access to status information by NagVis AND by the authorization mechanism of the monitoring software (e.g. Nagios). Disabled: access to status information is controlled by NagVis only. Every NagVis user who has access to a NagVis map can see the status of all objects on this map. If he has the permission to add objects to a map he can add ALL monitoring objects and is not restricted by the NagVis permission management. Enabled: every user in NagVis can see the status information only of those monitoring objects for which he has a contact definition in the monitoring software. This means that he can see status information only if he is allowed to access a map AND if he has the permission from the monitoring software for this object. The same applies to adding objects to a map.
refreshtime | 60 | Refresh time of maps or reloading the next map in map rotation
sesscookiedomain | auto-detect | You may need to control for which domain NagVis will store the session cookie. By default NagVis tries to auto detect this option value by using the webservers environment variables. This should work in most environments but may be changed e.g. when using url rewriting.
sesscookiepath | auto-detected | You may need to control the path on which the cookie will be set. By default NagVis uses the paths/htmlbase value for setting the cookie. This should work in most environments but may be changed e.g. when using url rewriting.
sesscookieduration | 86400 | Lifetime of the NagVis session cookie in seconds. The default value is set to 24 hours. The value of the NagVis session cookie contains will be renewed on every page visit. If a session is idle for more time than configured here it will become invalid.
sesscookiehttponly | 0 | Most modern browsers will deny javascript access to cookies if the HttpOnly flag is set. This prevents XSS attacks from stealing cookies. Default is off to not break any existing installations that rely on this functionality. Set to 1 to enable.
sesscookiesecure | 0 | Most modern browsers will prevent cookies from being sent unencrypted if the Secure flag is set. Default is off since not all Nagvis installations require HTTPS. Set to 1 to enable.
staleness_threshold (new in 1.8b5) | 1.5 | Staleness threshold (Only used with livestatus backend). Take a look at the Check_MK documentation for details about the staleness of hosts/services. The staleness means that an object has not received any state information for a given time. The configured value is a factor of the regular check interval. A value of 1.5 means that an object is marked as stale after one and a half check intervals have passed without update.
startmodule | overview | The default module to show when none is given by the user
startaction | view | The default action to do when none is given by the user
startshow |  | The startshow parameter is only used by some views at the moment. It is used by the Map and the AutoMap modules.

updateobjectstates | 15 | The retention time of the states in seconds in the frontend. The state information will be refreshed after this time is over on next worker interval.

### backend_*

The backend sections to define the backends are all named `[backend_<backend-id>]`. In the example the `backend_id` is `live_1`.

Depending on the value in backendtype the valid values for the backends have to be set. In this example it is the MKLivestatus backend.

    [backend_live_1]
    backendtype="mklivestatus"
    htmlcgi="/nagios/cgi-bin"
    ; the following options depend on the selected backendtype, in this case it is MKLivestatus
    socket="unix:/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/live"

Value | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
backendtype | mklivestatus | type of backend - MUST be set
statushost |  | The status host can be used to prevent annoying timeouts when a backend is not reachable. This is only useful in multi backend setups. It works as follows: The assumption is that there is a "local" backend which monitors the host of the "remote" backend. When the remote backend host is reported as UP the backend is queried as normal. When the remote backend host is reported as "DOWN" or "UNREACHABLE" NagVis won't try to connect to the backend anymore until the backend host gets available again. The statushost needs to be given in the following format: "<backend_id>:<hostname>" -> e.g. "live_2:nagios" The host needs to be in another backend than the current one to work correctly.
htmlcgi | /nagios/cgi-bin | Path to the cgi-bin directory of this backend (interesting for multiple backends)
custom_1 |  | First custom variable which is available in the context and hover menus. With this option different custom URLs can be added to the context/hover menus based on the backend used. Might be interesting when adding links to different Nagios instances.
custom_2 |  | Second custom variable. Same as above.
custom_3 |  | Third custom variable. Same as above.

For the backendtype specific options see the backends documentation.

### rotation_*

Defines several map rotation pools. In this example the browser switches between the maps demo and demo2 every 15 seconds. The rotation is enabled by url: index.php?rotation= in this case the rotation id is: "demo"

    [rotation_demo]
    maps="demo,demo2"
    interval=15

Value | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
interval | 15 | Map rotation interval in seconds
maps |  | Comma separated list of maps to rotate in this pool. You can also add external URLs surrounded by [ and ] (e.g. `maps="demo1,[http://localhost/test.php]"`). In this mode the URL will be fetched by the webserver and included within a <div> container on the page. The URL has to be reachable and accessible by the server which NagVis is running on. This mode is recommended when including simple HTML pages without much styling / javascripts. If you like to include whole websites with e.g. own styling and scripts, you should configure the URL to be included as iframe. This is done like this: `maps="demo1,[iframe:http://localhost/test.php]"`. The page is included within an <iframe> element on the page and will be fetched within the users webbrowsers context (also using it's stored authentication etc.). You can add labels in the following format <label>:<map> and <label>:<[url]>. The labels are displayed in the rotation list on the overview page.

### action_* (new in 1.7.6)

Since NagVis 1.7.6 it is possible to use so called actions to extend the default context menu. This enables users to connect directly to the monitored hosts from the NagVis context menu. The configuration is done using `[action_*]` sections in the main configuration.

It is possible to add such actions to the context menus of service and host objects depending on the "obj_type" option. They are not added blindly to all objects of those types, you can use the attribute "condition" to configure which objects shall have the specific actions. By default we use Nagios custom macros of the host object to make the actions visible/invisible. This filtering mechanism is not limited to custom macros, you can also use regular host attributes which are available within NagVis.
With the option "client_os" you can configure the option to only be available on the clients which have a listed operating system running.

Here is an example for such a section, taken from the sample config:

    ; Adds the action "connect via ssh" to service/host objects which have the
    ; string "unix" in the TAGS Nagios custom macro. Is only added when NagVis
    ; detects that the client watching the map uses linux or mac os.
    ; When clicking on the link, the browser opens the URL ssh://<address>/,
    ; you need to configure your clients browser to handle these urls correctly.
    [action_ssh_url]
    action_type="ssh_url"
    obj_type="host,service"
    client_os="mac,lnx"
    condition="TAGS~unix"

Value | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
action_type |  | The type of the custom action (used as reference to the optional custom action script files located in `share/server/core/actions`).
obj_type | host,service | Comma separated list of object types to display this custom action for
client_os |  | Comma separated list of client operating systems to display this custom action for. You can use the values `win`, `lnx` and/or `mac` here.
condition |  | You can use some sort of filtering mechanism to display the action not on all objects of that type. The example above can be read like this: "Add this filter to all host and service objects which contain the string `unix` in the custom macro `TAGS`". Means the action is only added to unix hosts. You can use regular attributes or even custom macros of the objects as keys. At the moment you can use the operator `=` to test if the value matches the string exactly. The operator `~` can be used to search the given substring in the value. Both operators are case sensitive.

An action can be constructed out of three parts:

- The configuration section, which is needed to register the action to NagVis
- The HTML snippet to be added to the context menu in the context template
- Optional: An action plugin which can register custom config variables for this plugin and a handler function which can be executed on the server to perform some custom action on in the context of the server (e.g. generate some files). Those files are located in `share/server/core/actions`).

The sample configuration defines several sample actions, which might be useful for some users. Here is the list and a short description of the actions:

Action Id | Description
--- | ---
rdp | Adds the action "connect via rdp" to service/host objects where the host object has the string "win" in the TAGS Nagios custom macro. When clicking on the link, NagVis generates a .rdp file which contains a call to make the client connect to the given host via RDP.
win_ssh | Adds the action "connect via ssh" to service/host objects which have the string "unix" in the TAGS Nagios custom macro. Is only added when NagVis detects that the client watching the map uses windows. When clicking on the link, NagVis generates a .cmd file which contains a call to putty which makes putty connect via SSH to this host.
ssh_url | Adds the action "connect via ssh" to service/host objects which have the string "unix" in the TAGS Nagios custom macro. Is only added when NagVis detects that the client watching the map uses linux or mac os. When clicking on the link, the browser opens the URL ssh://<address>/, you need to configure your clients browser to handle these urls correctly.
http | Adds the action "connect via http" to service/host objects which have the string "web-80" in the TAGS Nagios custom macro When clicking on the link, the browser opens a new window with the URL http://<host_address>/. This can be changed by modifying the context template.
https | Adds the action "connect via https" to service/host objects which have the string "web-443" in the TAGS Nagios custom macro When clicking on the link, the browser opens a new window with the URL https://<host_address>/. This can be changed by modifying the context template.

### states

Options which affect the handling and appearance of the different states in the NagVis installation.

These settings define the state handling behaviour. Mainly it is possible to configure which state will cover another state changing these values. The state with the highest value will become the "summary state" for an object. For example a critical state (5) will cover a warning state (4). Another example: An acknowledged critical state (2) will not cover a warning state (4).

Value | Default
--- | ---
down | 10
down_ack | 6
down_downtime | 6
unreachable | 9
unreachable_ack | 6
unreachable_downtime | 6
critical | 8
critical_ack | 5
critical_downtime | 5
warning | 7
warning_ack | 5
warning_downtime | 5
unknown | 4
unknown_ack | 3
unknown_downtime | 3
error | 4
error_ack | 3
error_downtime | 3
up | 2
ok | 1
