Auto login

The auto login feature makes it possible to access certain pages from the management interface without having to log on.

This feature is particularly useful with dashboards or NOC views. The auto login feature requires an operator with the Auto login access right specified.

Using auto login

When an operator has been configured for use with auto login, specifying the following URL displays the desired page.

http://inmhost:port/autologin.xsi?user=username&page=N

Where username is the Network Monitor operator username and N is a number corresponding to the desired page.

Page number

Page description

0

The Monitor list view.

1

The Monitors by type view.

2

The Network list view.

3

The Object NOC view.

4

The Network NOC view.

5

A customized NOC view. Specify an additional parameter "index" set to the index of the NOC view.

Example: http://inmhost:port/autologin.xsi?user=username&page=5&index=2

6

The Dashboard. Specify an additional parameter "id" set to the desired dashboard. The ID of a dashboard is always visible in the URL when viewing a dashboard.

Example: http://inmhost:port/autologin.xsi?user=username&page=6&id=1

Note that viewing a dashboard with auto login automatically sets the fullscreen option.

Dashboard rotation with auto login

It is possible to setup a dashboard rotation when viewing a dashboard using auto login. This makes it possible to automatically switch between specified dashboards at a given interval. Use the basic URL for auto login but add two parameters, rotation and interval.

Example

http://inmhost:port/autologin.xsi?page=6&user=username&rotation=1,7,12&interval=15

The dashboards specified in the rotation parameter, separated by a comma, are continuously displayed at the interval given in the interval parameter, in seconds.
