Element view configuration

This page explains some features that should be configured for an element (host or service) view.

Element notes and actions URL

In an element configuration file, it is possible to define notes, notes_url and action_url. Nagios legacy definition do not allow to define more than one item and does not allow to define how to display information.

This is how the Web UI uses these properties:

• several items may be declared. The list of items must be a | separated list
• each item in the list can contain a decoration part and a content part, both are optional. decoration::content
• decoration part can contain a title and an icon: title,,icon
• content part can contain a description and an url: description,,url

As such, a note/action may be formatted as:

• description
• url
• url,,description
• title::description,,url
• ,,icon::description,,url
• title,,icon::description,,url

If title is not specified, a default title is used as title If icon is not specified, a default icon is used as icon

As an example

   notes                simple note... only text but <em>may be formated</em>\
                        |Title::note with only title...\
                        |Title,,file::note with a title and an icon...\
                        |Title,,file::note with a title and an icon and an url...,,http://my-url.fr\
