How to restrict a hostgroup to a specific user group? (icinga2/icingaweb2)

Question

I want to know how to restrict a hostgroup to a specific group of users in icinga. In case that many organizations use the monitoring system, they can only see what's inside their hostgroup/s

Answer 1

In icingaweb2 go to configuration -> authorization -> roles -> create new role.

Under monitoring/filter/objects you can enter any filter that you would use in icingaweb2. So you can just go to Overview -> Hosts and create a filter, then copy the filter string from the url, for example:

/icingaweb2/monitoring/list/hosts?hostgroup_name=myhostgroups&modifyFilter=1

The filter string would be

hostgroup_name=myhostgroup

And you can simply enter that under monitoring/filter/objects.
