My solution works somewhat differently than the old "maint.pl" script: The enable/disable functionality is no longer a separate webpage listing all hosts; instead, this function is moved to each hosts' "info" column page. I did this because I have about 2000 hosts, so the list of all hosts was practically unusable in my setup. You can see how it looks on the demo site http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/ - just pick one of the "info" buttons.
The problem with this sollution is, that everybody with acces to the monitorpages can now enable/disable tests. We like to make information available to all IT-staff, but the enabling/disabling is being done by operations, based on RFC and calls. How to prevent others from enabling/disabling in this new concept?
Everyone can see what's disabled, but using the enable/disable function still requires a separate authorization just like maint.pl does today.
That's why you cannot disable anything on my demo page - unless you can guess what password I use.
