document system

Post by thedarkmoon »

Hello i'd like to know if there is a way to add in dashboard - host group status overview a link to procedure, documentation, ... Or if there is a document system linked directly with nagios ?
What i'd like is to have server monitoring and documentation for this server ...

Nagios core provides a method for associating a specific url to a specific object (host/service) - the notes url:
notes_url: This variable is used to define an optional URL that can be used to provide more information about the host. If you specify an URL, you will see a red folder icon in the CGIs (when you are viewing host information) that links to the URL you specify here. Any valid URL can be used. If you plan on using relative paths, the base path will the the same as what is used to access the CGIs (i.e. /cgi-bin/nagios/). This can be very useful if you want to make detailed information on the host, emergency contact methods, etc. available to other support staff.

You could create a page for each of your objects, serve them directly from the nagios server, and link each respective one to an object.
