You need to edit side.html.  I did it with one change to the style sheet at
the top of the file adding:
        A.NavBarItem1 { font-family: arial,serif; background-color : black;
color: #DEE7C6; font-size: 8pt; font-weight: bold; text-decoration:
none; }

and adding the following after the table row for Service Detail:
  <tr>
    <td width=13> </td>
    <td nowrap>
      <img src="images/greendot.gif" width="13" height="14" align="middle"
name="status-dot-1"><a
href="http://netmon.pdi.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=hostgroup1&style=detail"
target="main" onMouseOver="switchdot('status-dot-1',1)"
onMouseOut="switchdot('status-dot-1',0)" class="NavBarItem1">Host Group
1</a><br>
      <img src="images/greendot.gif" width="13" height="14" align="middle"
name="status-dot-2"><a
href="http://netmon.pdi.com/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?hostgroup=hostgroup2&stule=detail"
target="main" onMouseOver="switchdot('status-dot-2',1)"
onMouseOut="switchdot('status-dot-2',0)" class="NavBarItem1">Host Group
2</a><br>
      ...
    </td>
  </tr>

You'll want to change hostgroup[12] and "Host Group [12]" to the name and
description of your hostgroups, and keep incrementing the n in "status-dot-n"
for each line you add to make t

You'll want to change hostgroup[12] and "Host Group [12]" to the name and
description of your hostgroups, and keep incrementing the n in "status-dot-n"
for each line you add to make the green dot turn orange when your mouse rolls
over the line.

Remember, any changes you make to side.html and main.html will be lost if you
upgrade Nagios, so keep a backup copy you can restore after upgrading.
