Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

How can I create additional severity levels in Nagios core. Like Major, Minor etc.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

You mean to add to the existing status options OK, WARNING, CRITICAL, etc?

It's not going to happen in the main branch of Core, you'd be looking at a fork of the project. The existing statuses are "core" to Core.

You can modify plugin output to return any results you want though, then interpret them at the tail end such as in your mail command or such.

Why, what is your goal?
