How Display different dashboards based on an alert status?

I've a few redundant system stacks with dashboards that reflect the component machine's statuses - Up / Down.

One or another of these stack are master, the other a HA slave. On failure of master stack, control passes to the slave.

I'd like to display on a screen which of the two stacks are the one in control - to dynamically change the heading, or suppress the other dashboard.

What's a good way to:

- say Change the displayed text to show which redundant stack is currently master, the stack that's running now?

- or Display only the stack that is currently master?

- or Change the dashboards that are displayed?

Any of those approaches might work; reviewing what's out there, I see dashboards that just display what you put in them.

Thanks much for your insight.

Our dashboards can't be modified based on the results of a check. You could set up a host/service check that checks if the target is in charge, but that info could only be displayed, not used to load a different dashboard.

This should be possible with some custom NagVis map?

I don't believe this is currently possible, even with Nagvis.
