is there an addon like this?

[Lars Michelsen]

Hello Steven,
just for your interest if you use or consider to use. There is a new
feature in NagVis (1.4rc2 or newer) called context menus. You can add
customized links to the objects "right-click" menus to connect to your
monitored systems directly from your NagVis maps.

There is an example howto in the NagVis 1.4 documentation
(http://docs.nagvis.org/1.4/en_US/extending/custom_context_actions.html).
This example is for ssh connecting on a linux box but its very
adaptable to other systems. Some guy in nagios-portal.org adapted this
already to rdp connection via rdesktop client
(http://www.nagios-portal.org/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&postID=97042&highlight=rdesktop#post97042).
It's in german but google translate should be able to translate this.

Regards,
Lars

>   Looking to status.log we saw that the last service check was performed at 22:48 of yesterday, and the time period defined for this service finish at 22:58 thus the next check could be scheduled to 22:53(theoretically) because the normal check interval was defined to 5 minutes.
>   Considering that we have a high latency problem(about 300 seconds) Nagios theoretically tried to check the service OUT of time period scope(22:53 + ~300 seconds of latency problem) thus rescheduling the check for the next valid time following time period definition;
