Notes are not viewable

[sanjayhiranisq]

I cant find a way to view the notes I put in for a service. for example:

define service {
host_name mongo231
service_description mongo231GigabitEthernet1/36 Bandwidth
use xiwizard_switch_port_bandwidth_service
servicegroups SWITCH-SWITCH
check_command check_xi_service_mrtgtraf!10.0.121.9_37.rrd!600,600!800,800!M
max_check_attempts 5
check_interval 5
retry_interval 1
check_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
notification_interval 60
notification_period xi_timeperiod_24x7
contacts FredBlogs
notes inter switch connection to mongolia support number xxxxxxx linkid 234233
contact_groups Testgroup
_xiwizard switch
register 1
}

Where is the notes value visible? I can not see it anywhere. Ideally when the service is selected it should show it, or when I hover over the icon of the service. or next to the hoverable icon that shows the graph.

Thank you
Sanjay

In XI the Object Notes component is the the best way to go about this, it adds new tabs on host and service detail screens to allow admins and end users to add custom notes.

Download it here:
https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/A ... nt/details

Then upload it to XI: Admin > Manage Components > Upload a Component. Afterwards look for 'Object Notes' on the same page to ensure it uploaded correctly and that the version is up to date.
Now, on any host or service status detail page you'll see a new tab for notes.
