Add item to hostgroup overview page

[marquetteu]

Is there a way to add an icon/link to the hostgroup overview page? I know in the past with pnp4nagios i was able to add one (back in 2.x days).

I have found the action component and got it configured/tested, however, now i want to add the link to that component to the overview pages rather than the host detail page.

thanks!

This functionality is not currently available in XI but according to our developers it would be easy to do. You are welcome to post a feature request on our public tracker here:

http://tracker.nagios.com

or I can post an internal feature request for you (if you want me to). Thanks!

feature request opened here:

http://tracker.nagios.com/view.php?id=738

If you are able to add any additional info that would help it would be appreciated.

Also -- would you be able to provide any hints/direction so that i would be able to potentially manually add it in while we wait for the feature request to be approved/added into XI?

thanks again!

There are three places that I could see adding an action link, which one are you looking to add it to? (see screenshot below)

Since each host is going to have a unique link, #2 so that when i go to the hostgroup overview page i'll have the links for all the hosts

I created an internal feature request (TASK ID 6175) and added links for our developers to this forum post and the feature request you posted on our public tracker.

*** Note: This will get reverted if you upgrade, you should make backups/snapshots of the system and make sure they're good before making any modifications

To manually add it, you can edit this file:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/xicore/ajaxhelpers-status.inc.php

Then modify the link and text in the code below and add it after line 798:

Code: Select all

$host_name_cell .= "<a href='http://yoururl/$host_name'>YOURTEXT</a>";

That should get you what you want.

is there a server side cache i need to clear? i restarted the services and cleared the browser cache but i don't see the new link anywhere

Oh, I apologize, I posted the wrong file, I've edited my post to reflect the correct file:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/xicore/ajaxhelpers-status.inc.php

Revert your changes to the other file and make the changes to this one.
