I need to create a dashlet which contains only the current service critical alerts.
I tried using the custom url dashlet but it is too cumbersome, with too much unnecessary info, i need only the actual alerts.
Any way I can do it?

From Home page, click on Service Detail, within Service Status Summary click on number under Critical column (#) , then click on the Add to my views icon (two blue squares on upper right corner of webpage) button to create the view.

Yes I know that. but it creates a view i need a dashlet.
When there is no criticals the view is empty. It doesn't look good on a large LCD screen. In the end I want to create a dashboard with a dashlet for critical services, another one for the down hosts, then add a pie chart dashlet of the services etc.......

Have you tried the Tactical Overview?

Home button
Under Quick View click Tactical Overview
For the Services row click the Dashify Icon (rectangle with three dots above it)
This allows you to add this to a Dashboard

Otherwise you may need to put on your coding gloves and write your own Dashlet.

Not exactly what i had in mind. thnx any way.
Maybe this would be feature request for future updates.
A dashlet with only the critical services or the down hosts is something that seems to me very basic and highly needed.

And what if you create a custom URL dashlet adding an URL like this:

https://nagios/nagiosxi/includes/compon ... ustypes=16

servicestatustypes=16 will show you all critical services.

@morabanc - Thanks

That is exactly what I would have suggested

As I said in the starting post. that exactly what i did. It's ok but not good enough

Sure we can make a feature request for this, Can you outlive what info you would like to see?
e.g.
A table with links containing

List of critical Services
Host Service Status Duration Output

List of Down Hosts
Host Duration
