<div>Hello, I am trying to develop a patch that helps me to hide certain hostgroups from the status cgi. I thought of something like adding a "shouldnotseeme-" prefix to the hostgroup alias: define hostgroup { hostgroup_name shown alias This Host Group will be displayed members host1,host2,host3 } <div>define hostgroup { hostgroup_name not-shown alias shouldnotseeme-This Host Group will not be displayed members host3,host4,host5 } First of all I must admit I am no C programmer. I had a look at the status.c source file. Around line 3090 I found a procedure show_hostgroup_overview. Now I'd like to simply check there if hstgrp->alias contains the string "shouldnotseeme-" Unfortunally I do not know how to do this. With PHP I think it would look like this: if (strstr($hstgrp->alias, "shouldnotseeme-") != FALSE) { // don't show this one .. } But I have no idea how to write this in C :( Can someone point me in the right direction. Do you think this will work at all?
