Nagios Support Forum

I'm just curious what direction I would need to go in to add another option to the navbar on the left that combines host groups and service groups? I know it pulls all the info from status.cgi, and then the stylesheets format everything. Is this something that can be done easily?

Thanks!

You would have to modify the C source and recompile the cgi's at the very least. Is it impossible, not at all, but it certainly is not extremely easy and definitely prone to introducing more issues.

Alright.

Is it at least feasible to modify the cgi's/stylesheets so the font/graph/chart sizes are bigger? Ultimately we want this information visible from ~10 feet in a display on the wall.

I believe the stylesheets are named after the CGI they are used by, so /usr/local/nagios/share/stylesheets/status.css is probably what you would need to modify. However not being a UI guy I can't say for sure what you would need to change. Looks like a lot of the sizes are the same though, so a sed replace should speed things up.

What core version are you on?

I'm currently on version 4.0.7.

I was playing around with some of those stylesheets yesterday and, while some things are pretty obvious (like font sizes), others seem pretty obscure. I can't seem to figure out how to make the overall 'chart' itself bigger.

That might be a tricky one. Zooming is not always straight-forward. I played around with it a bit and while I was able to zoom with some browser-specific hacks (for Firefox) the scaling would often overlap other elements:
