Is there any way to add a telnet or ssh button/icon to Nagios Core to allow you to to be able to remotely access particular hosts?
I am a newbie to Nagios, but from my reading about plugins, they feed the result of the ensuing binary back to Nagios core, which is not what is required here.
Is there any way to use Apache etc. to obtain this functionality within Nagios?
I am thinking of using Nagios to help me install a new network, and so I may not have the fully operational network there yet, and building in interactive access to switch and routers would be very helpful.
Thanks for any assistance!
Telnet/ SSH button for a host

I'm not aware of any add-on that does this. It may be a feature added to the 2012 edition of the commercial product Nagios XI though.

There was a very crafty little setup I saw once many years ago where some one had used the notes-URL field to point to a simple custom made webpage that used javascript to open MSTSC or Putty and connected to the server. There would be quite a bit of work to do to recreate the same setup but it can be done 
If you don't need MSTSC you could probably also just find a web based SSH client that would solve mucking about with custom js.
