Allow alternative URLs for Hosts/Services

[garnser]

Not all nagios-based monitoring systems which has livestatus available is utilizing the hardcoded URL to get access to the object. Please consider adding a configurable "status.cgi?host= addresses" and likewise for services.

As a sample, I'm using Check_MK which renders the URLs as follows:

Hosts: https://monitoringhost/site/check_mk/index.py?start_url=view.py%3Ffilled_in%3Dfilter%26host%3D**hostname**%26view_name%3Dhost

Services: https://monitoringhost/site/check_mk/index.py?start_url=view.py%3Fhost%3D**hostname**%26service%3D**service**%26view_name%3Dservice

Thanks for the feedback!

The URLs are rendered here, where the hardcoded path you describe can be found: https://github.com/hudson-trading/netbox-nagios/blob/main/netbox_nagios/templates/device_nagios_box.html. I don't see any reason the path and query params wouldn't be able to be configurable.

We would accept a PR if you'd like to submit one.

I would like to join the topic. For example, we use icinga2 and would also like to use this plugin here. So a customizable link would be usable for several different monitoring tools.

Hi, so can you add this feature for more broader integration for this plugin

Any Reply from the admin?

I'm fairly busy with other things right now, not sure when I can get around adding this feature. But I'll be more than happy to review a PR if anybody else wants to contribute.

Hello. I just tried to change the plugin a bit. I was successful. I made the following adjustments to call up the live status of icinga2.

device_nagios_buttons.html

change <a href="{{ nagios_base_url }}status.cgi?host={{ object.name }}" class="btn btn-sm btn-info" target="_blank"> <span class="mdi mdi-open-in-new" aria-hidden="true"><span> Open in Nagios </a>

to

<a href="{{ nagios_base_url }}monitoring/host/show?host={{ object.name }}" class="btn btn-sm btn-info" ta> <span class="mdi mdi-open-in-new" aria-hidden="true"><span> Open in Icinga2 </a>

2.

device_nagios_box.html

change

<a href='{{ nagios_base_url }}status.cgi?host={{ object.name }}' target="_blank">

to

<a href='{{ nagios_base_url }}monitoring/host/show?host={{ object.name }}' target="_blank">

3.

change <a href='{{ nagios_base_url }}extinfo.cgi?type=2&host={{ object.name }}&service={{ service.0 }}' target="_blank">{{ service.0 }}</a>

to

<a href='{{ nagios_base_url }}monitoring/service/show?host={{ object.name }}&service={{ service.0 }}' target="_blank">{{ service.0 }}</a>

confoguration.py

PLUGINS_CONFIG = { "netbox_nagios": { "livestatus_host": "monitoring.example.com", "nagios_base_url": "https://monitoring.example.com/icingaweb2/", }, }

I tried using the livestatus_port option. unfortunately this didn't work. So I redirected the default port 6557 to port 6666 from Icinga2.

I hope it helps you further.
