Nagios Support Forum

My employer uses Nagios Fusion.
There have been requests from management to add static explanatory text to some of the Fusion dashboards.

I am looking for documentation or examples
on how to customize a single Fusion Dashboard.

My first goal is to add static text to a single Fusion Dashboard.

As an example of what it might look like when I am done,
one dashboard might have the text: "This Dashboard shows hosts, services and recent alerts for the North America compute farm "
A different dashboard might have the text: "This Dashboard shows hosts, services and recent alerts for the North America finance infrastructure "
A different dashboard might have the text: "This Dashboard shows hosts, services and recent alerts for the Asia finance infrastructure "

I have looked at
1) http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... opment.pdf
and
2) http://support.nagios.com/wiki/index.ph ... usion:FAQs
and
3) http://library.nagios.com/library/produ ... iosfusion/

So far, it looks like I will be doing Component Development on a dev Nagios Fusion box to build a dashlet that simply displays static text.

Is there a different way to put static text on a Dashboard?

Thank you,
David Sloboda

You could look at some of the current dashlet code to get a feel for how they work, and then create your own dashlets with the desired text.

I found Text-Dashlet on exchange.nagios.org

This covers my immediate need.

Thanks,
