Service Overview For Host Group

Just wondering if it's possible. We have a group of servers that need monitored, but our team wants the ability to view all the servers in a single screen. Is there a way to tell nagios to adjust the view based on screen size, or can we break down the servers into columns so that we don't have to scroll down. The only thing that I can think of right now is to setup a "view group" with the servers to display them into 2 columns. I just wanted to see if there was a better way instead of hard coding nagios based on groups. I'm currently running nagios-3.5.1-1.el6.x86_64. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Making adjustments like this in Core is going to be pretty limited to using host or service groups, unfortunately, and those will still go mostly in rows.

I was able to cheat around it (somewhat) I created a hard-coded site. Here is a sample of what I did. Is there a possible way that you can point me to the main core file and maybe I can tackle this issue? I have the time to code something.

The CGI files are what create the HTML pages and are pretty complicated, it may be a lot harder to edit things than you may think. In reality, it'd probably be easier to make your own custom page using something like JSON CGI. It isn't something we can help you make though, since it's outside the scope of our support.

Im assuming you want this as like a NOC screen or something similar, if you only care about overall health and don't want to read all the metrics on that screen you should try nagvis as it will give you a great looking dashboard, it can have hostgroup and servicegroup health as a single traffic light style icon
