Dear All,
Does anyone have any idea how to customize the output of “Status Information” in Service view?
for instance, how can we put a newline (e.g. \n) to make the Status output more readable?
Does it support HTML tag , as well?
any comment will be highly appreciated.
Rgds,
Kevin
It can be done, but not completely. If you’re using external script to make an output you can exit the script with the printf output which can contain newline characters like this:
whose output normally would be :
line1
line2
But… (there’s almost always this but… )
Nagios will type only:
line1
in it’s output in service status detail page. But when you hit the service link of particular service for which you’ve typed multiline output, in it’s service State Information will appear both lines like you’ve expected:
*line1
line2
*
So, if that satisfies you, then it can be done, but if you wanted to display multiline output in Service Detail page, then I think you’re out of luck. The only possible solution for Service detail to have multiline output is to have a long line which automaticaly breaks into multiline output, and that only because it can’t be displayed on the monitor due to resolution limitation.
All this is tested in version 3.0.2, I don’t think it will work for version 2 of Nagios
