PATCH: Service Hard/Soft State Filter for status.cgi

[Bob Ingraham]

Hi,

No, it's not dumb at all.  The problem is that the status.cgi requires
that you "hand-roll" your service_status_types filter yourself - there is
no web-page containing a list of filters to choose from.

So, to enable filters, you would manually construct an URL like:

http://myhost/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=X

Where "X" is the mathematical sum of all of the desired service status
filters.

Here is the list of available filters:

SERVICE_SCHEDULED_DOWNTIME	1
SERVICE_NO_SCHEDULED_DOWNTIME	2
SERVICE_STATE_ACKNOWLEDGED	4
SERVICE_STATE_UNACKNOWLEDGED	8
SERVICE_CHECKS_DISABLED	        16
SERVICE_CHECKS_ENABLED	        32
SERVICE_EVENT_HANDLER_DISABLED	64
SERVICE_EVENT_HANDLER_ENABLED	128
SERVICE_FLAP_DETECTION_ENABLED	256
SERVICE_FLAP_DETECTION_DISABLED	512
SERVICE_IS_FLAPPING	        1024
SERVICE_IS_NOT_FLAPPING	        2048
SERVICE_NOTIFICATIONS_DISABLED	4096
SERVICE_NOTIFICATIONS_ENABLED	8192
SERVICE_PASSIVE_CHECKS_DISABLED	16384
SERVICE_PASSIVE_CHECKS_ENABLED	32768
SERVICE_PASSIVE_CHECK	        65536
SERVICE_ACTIVE_CHECK	        131072
SERVICE_STATE_TYPE_SOFT	        262144
SERVICE_STATE_TYPE_HARD	        524288


So, to see only HARD states, you'd substitute 524288 for "X" in the URL:

http://myhost/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=524288

As a further example of the additive property of filters, you could choose
a combination of services that are *not* in scheduled downtime *and*
services that are in a SOFT state.

In this case "X" = 2 + 262144 = 262146:

http://myhost/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&servicestatustypes=262146

Please let me know if this doesn't work as advertised.

Bob
