Additional (external links) for hosts

[bjornf]

Hi,

I want to add links/URLs to error logs and config changes for a host. I already use the notes_url and action_url(pnp).  Any hint on how I best add these, is it possible?

Can I add additional links showed by extinfo.cgi where you have:

..

View Notifications for this host

View configuration for this host

...

?

Is modifying templates under /usr/share/thruk/templates a bad idea?

For example:

/usr/share/thruk/templates/extinfo_type_0.tt

?

definitly a bad idea. A slightly better idea would be to copy that template
in your 'user_template_path' and change it there. That way it won't be
overwritten on the next update.

A better idea would be to send me a patch if its usefull for all users.

And even better would be to just use the existing action_url and use the
old trick of using quotes to add 2 or more links like
action_url http://link1'> <a href='http://link2
something like that.

Thanks Sven for answering. 

Using user_template_path seems to risk "collisions" with future updates of included Thruk templates.

Does the additional action urls trick work with pnp4nagios being the existing one? Today I have this when it comes to action_url:

define host {

   name       host-pnp

   action_url /pnp4nagios/index.php/graph?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=_HOST_' class='tips' rel='/pnp4nagios/index.php/popup?host=$HOSTNAME$&srv=_HOST_

   register   0

}

Then I include that to each host.

Will they all use the same action icon image?

Well, that was just an idea. You can do whatever you can do with html. If you need another icon, just use the <img> tag.
