UI or alert header customization

[RobertSCH]

Greetings,

We are intending use of Nagios providing up/ down status of Virtual protection groups and individual servers within for Disaster recovery failover testing. Questions I have that forums don't seem to cover exactly are:
1. Is there ways to customize UI/ Dashlets conforming to how our Org. naming convention exists? (Reverse naming of Hosts and Services)
2. I suspect answer to above question is no, is there a dashlet out there that behaves like a legend or are text box and text box advanced dashlets the only way we can customize our UI?
3. I understand that preferred ordering of services/ hosts can only be done by prepending naming. I want to display identical monitors side by side with differing ordering of data so we can watch servers come up as they are failed over. I do not see how Nagios can accommodate this request.
Any assistance is appreciated.

If I am being obtuse at all, my apologies, I am new to the product.

Hello, @RobertSCH. I'd like to help you but I need some more clarification.

What kind of dashlets are you referring to? Host and Service summary dashlets? Could you provide a screenshot?

Could you show some existing hosts and services on a screenshot so that I could understand what the "reverse naming" would be?

Is there a dashlet out there that behaves like a legend or are text box

Yes, you could create labels using this dashlet:

I understand that preferred ordering of services/ hosts can only be done by prepending naming.

Could you also provide a screenshot for this?

I want to display identical monitors side by side with differing ordering of data so we can watch servers come up as they are failed over.

Could you add hosts into 2 hostgroups and open the "hostgroup overview" for 2 different hostgroups on two screens? Or use the Operations Center component to do the same?

Apologies for delayed response, I have been tinkering with the dashlets and discovered your object definitions paper. This pretty much answered my questions as you don't really support our configuration per se. You do to a level Hosts->Services; we are looking for not only hosts and services but Virtual protection groups 3 priority levels within our virtual environment.

I did not post screenshots due to considerable level of protected data and blanking this out makes the screenie virtually unusable.

What I did come up with is:
Host Status Summary | Text box dashlet | Service Status Summary

| HOST GROUP SUMMARY | SERVICE GROUP SUMMARY |
(with high priority hosts) (with Virtual Protection groups/ Hosts and Services)

Thanks for swift reply, lots of tinkering left to do to get what I need out of the dashboard.
