If you can post a screenshot of where you want the information displayed, that might be helpful.
Notes are a pretty easy way to store such references:
Code: Select all
define host{
...
notes hello world
...
}
The end result:
If you wanted it somewhere else, you'd likely need to modify the CGIs or submit a feature request via the github. Here's some C I hacked together to get some Kibana/Marvel graphs to show for hosts in multiple spots:
https://pastebin.com/HERbhf6X
Which uses the following custom attributes for a given host:
Code: Select all
define host{
...
_marvel_node_ip 10.26.100.21
_marvel_node_name esdev01
...
}
It exists in multiple places in
status.c; I just highlighted once instance. Incredibly inelegant, but worked as a proof of concept for my use case.

Nagios does show you this info... Am I missing something? See below:
Code: Select all
define host{
use linux-server
host_name test
alias My test host
address 192.168.4.41
hostgroups linux-servers
parents localhost
notes (Test Linux VM - MAC Address: 00:0c:29:6d:bf:b0)
}

I have several computers and ips are automatically, so it needs to www to show me the ip of the computer because I set in the "address" configuration as the computer name, not ip after. Because it will not be this computer all the time he had the same ip

In place of service ping, to still show ip and not just status "OK"

Maybe instead of ping, you could use check_dns. You should be able to see the ip in the output.
Example:
command definition
Code: Select all
define command {
command_name check_dns
command_line $USER1$/check_dns -H $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}
host definition (google public dns)
Code: Select all
define host{
use linux-server
host_name test
alias My test host
address google-public-dns-a.google.com
hostgroups linux-servers
parents localhost
notes (Test Linux VM - MAC Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx)
}
service definition
Code: Select all
define service {
host_name test
use generic-service
service_description Check DNS
check_command check_dns
}
in the GUI
The ip address (8.8.8.8) is shown in the GUI. When I change the address of my test host from "google-public-dns-a.google.com" to "mpr.org", I see the updated ip address.
host definition (Minnesota Public Radio)
Code: Select all
define host{
use linux-server
host_name test
alias My test host
address mpr.org
hostgroups linux-servers
parents localhost
notes (Test Linux VM - MAC Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx)
}
in the GUI

I already showed you how the MAC will be displayed on the host.
You could add the "notes" directive to the service too (if you wish).
Example:
Code: Select all
define service {
host_name test
use generic-service
service_description Check DNS
check_command check_dns
notes (Test Linux VM - MAC Address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx)
}
Then, you will be able to see the MAC on the service as well.
