Use action url to "Force immediate check"

[frankwijers]

Hello all,

is it possible to configure the action url to have the command "Force an immediate check" under it?
Would be really helpful to click the little arrows in the overview in stead of opening them all and going to the advanced tab.

Thanks for your help.

Just so you know, there is an option to force en masse:
Mass Immediate Check

While not currently a part of the XI feature-set you could do it with the CALLBACK_CUSTOM_TABLE_ICONS callback, see Help > Callback Reference in the web interface for details.

Here's an example that does what you want:

Code: Select all

mkdir /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/nagiosxicallbacks

Put this in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/nagiosxicallbacks/nagiosxicallbacks.inc.php:

Code: Select all

<?php

// include the XI component helper
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . '/../componenthelper.inc.php');

// define/call our component initialize function
nagiosxicallbacks_component_init();
function nagiosxicallbacks_component_init()
{

    // information to pass to XI about our component
    $args = array(
        COMPONENT_NAME =>           "nagiosxicallbacks",
        COMPONENT_VERSION =>        "1.0",
        COMPONENT_AUTHOR =>         "Nagios Enterprises, LLC",
        COMPONENT_DESCRIPTION =>    "Demonstrate Nagios XI Callbacks inside of Custom Components",
        COMPONENT_TITLE =>          "Nagios XI Callbacks Demonstration"
        );

    // register with XI
    if (register_component("nagiosxicallbacks", $args)) {

        // register a function to be called when CALLBACK_CUSTOM_TABLE_ICONS is executed
        register_callback(CALLBACK_CUSTOM_TABLE_ICONS, 'nagiosxicallbacks_custom_table_icons');

    }
}

function nagiosxicallbacks_custom_table_icons($callback_type, &$args) {

    // make sure we are in the right callback
    if ($callback_type == CALLBACK_CUSTOM_TABLE_ICONS) {
        // Initialze some stuff we'll use a few times...
        $cmd = array(
            "command" => COMMAND_NAGIOSCORE_SUBMITCOMMAND,
        );

        $cmd["command_args"] = array(
            "host_name" => $args['host_name'],
            "service_name" => $args['service_description']
        );

        // Forced immediate check
        if ($args['objecttype'] == OBJECTTYPE_HOST) {
            $cmd["command_args"]["cmd"] = NAGIOSCORE_CMD_SCHEDULE_FORCED_HOST_CHECK;
            $cmd["command_args"]["start_time"] = time();
            $icondata = get_host_detail_command_link($cmd, "arrow_refresh.png", '');
        } else {
            $cmd["command_args"]["cmd"] = NAGIOSCORE_CMD_SCHEDULE_FORCED_SVC_CHECK;
            $cmd["command_args"]["start_time"] = time();
            $icondata = get_service_detail_command_link($cmd, "arrow_refresh.png", '');
        }

        $args['icons'][] = $icondata;
    }
}
?>

Run this command to adjust owner/group:

Code: Select all

chown -R nagios.nagios /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/nagiosxicallbacks

Then refresh the page and see if that shows a new link for you.

If you have issues, delete the component:

Code: Select all

rm -rf /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/nagiosxicallbacks

NOTE: This change will add additional load time to the display of those pages as it constructs the links but it should be minimal
