Extra note for host and services
Extra note for host and services
In nagios Nagios core i want to put extra notes for host and service checks . how we can configure this.
Re: Extra note for host and services
Do you mean notes in general? Or additional notes beyond those you are already able to enter?
If the first, check out: http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/ ... .html#host
Specifically the section called "notes" for each host/service.

if i want to use "notes_url " how do i use this option in host or service definition . I could see that we have to mention the url . How we can form this url to mention the extended information for hosts and services.
Re: Extra note for host and services
I'm not quite sure what you mean. What extended information are you looking to include?

Extended information like host owner name , email address , location of the server etc information i want to see when we see the host in nagios "host details".
Re: Extra note for host and services
So it turns out the notes and notes_url fields only show up in nagios core, not XI. I've gone ahead and filed a feature request for this, but in the meantime you can take a look at this component:
http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... nt/details
You will need to download the .zip, and in your Nagios XI web interface go to Admin -> Manage Components, then click Browse and select the file to upload. From here on out when you click on a host in the Host Detail page, there will be a new tab called Notes

Re: Extra note for host and services
This is currently not properly passed from Core to XI, it is added as a feature request in our internal tracker.

Re: Extra note for host and services
Sorry, I thought this was for XI.
No worries though, quite simple in core as well. For the notes section in your config, you can add just about whatever you want as long as you respect the illegal characters such as # and $. This note will show up directly in the host/service information page.
For notes_url, you enter a URL that contains more information about the host/service, and this will appear as a piece of paper icon on the right side of your host/service information screen. Clicking on that will open the link in a new tab.
