Having been given (erroronious?) instructions on how to look at Nagios XI I was wondering the following:
If under Service Status Summary
I click the number under Critical
, I get a filter which states that it is only displaying critical errors, and at the top a message is displayed which reads Filters: Service=Critical
. This would indicate that only services on hosts that have critical errors are displayed in the resulting query.
However, next I am to use the search box to search for services with a particular string in them…this invalidates the filtering after clicking search Filters: Service=Critical
no longer appears and the list needs to be sorted so that criticals appear at the top.
Is there a way in the web interface to both search for services of a certain string and apply a filter simultaniously?

I believe I've figured it out....oddly changing the query string arguments submitted to it seems to allow for what I am requesting but there doesn't appear to be a way to do this using the user interface.
Service Status Summary
number underCritical
Popout
(it's got an icon with a little arrow)servicestatustypes
argument, it should be16
if you are looking forcritical
service errors.Filters: Service=Critical
(and this is the problem that I had)&
to the end of the query string and addservicestatustypes=16
and press enter.Now you will have it both filtered by Status Critical and whatever your search was.
