Add more column in Service Status Details For All Hosts

[lppnghia]

HI all.
Currently, in "Service Status Details For All Hosts", there are 7 columns (Host, Service, Status, Last Check, Duration, Attempt, Status INformation). Now I wanna add one column (such as Alias , name which I define in define host). I am using Nagios core 4.1.1. Where can i modify to add column ?
Another question, regarding "tooltip" when I drag mouse to host. Default it show IP address, now i want to show such as Alias as well. How can i edit it in code or somewhere in configuration file of Nagios?
Thanks

Adding another column or changing tooltips is going to require you to edit the source code as these screens are created using the status cgi (status.cfg).

To specifically answer your question, you are most likely going to need to edit status.c and then re-compile.

https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/na ... i/status.c

Have a look around line 1344.

However have a look at the available web interfaces that bolt onto Nagios Core, you might find what you're looking for and more.

Sounds good. I will leave this thread open for now, but let us know if this works for you or not.

Hello Guys,

sorry for rianimate this Thread but I'm trying to add one Column too, but I can't find the "status.cfg" file.

Can you tell me where is it and how can I edit it? (Notepad++ is ok?)

Thank you

This actually isn't as easy as just modifying a status.cfg file, it's status.c. You'll need someone with C programming experience, and have to modify the source of Core. Once it's done, you'll want to recompile and go from there.

Ok, thank you.
So, there is not an "Easy Way" for do that? It seems that the "Alias" of the Hosts is not that Useful in Nagios Core, if in the Hosts and Services Details I can't see it..

The method to accomplish this is described above, I'd contact a C developer in your environment to review it.

The alias is shown on the pages that pertain specifically to the host / service. I don't think this would benefit anyone, as some will use unique long strings as the alias. This would end up making the table huge.

If you think it should be otherwise, feel free to raise an issue on the GitHub. https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/issues
