Notes, Notes_URL, Action_URL are not visible in Nagios XI

[mopp]

Hello,

this is a feature request. The information Notes, Notes_URL, Action_URL are not shown in Nagios XI. But these are really useful, e. g. Notes_URL could point to a documentation how to fix a problem or some hints are stored in the Notes.
I would expect to see the Notes_URL and Action_URL in the "Quick Actions" box and the notes in the "Advanced Status Details".

As an alternative I created a small patch for the freevariables component to show these values:

I could have sworn that was in there, might only be in the Core interface. I'll talk to the devs about adding this in.

[mopp]

You can see the data in the core interface, but the core interface looks totally different and you get a lot of information in a different view you already see in the XI interface.
It would be helpful to have this information in the XI interface. Or you update the freevariables component using my patch, of course you can enhance it further. It is just a proof of concept.

[tmcdonald]

We'll put in the feature request and let the devs take it from there. Thanks for the patch!

Mind if we close this up?
