What would you want in a replacementwebinterface?

[Lane Williams]

If you have implemented ndo2db, you could write a SQL query tool
...PERL... which would find problems for host and services and then dump
the proper variables into something like:

#!/bin/sh
# This is a sample shell script showing how you can submit the
ACKNOWLEDGE_SVC_PROBLEM command
# to Nagios.  Adjust variables to fit your environment as necessary.

now=`date +%s`
commandfile='/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd'

/bin/printf "[%lu] ACKNOWLEDGE_SVC_PROBLEM;$host;$service;1;1;1;Some
One;Some Acknowledgement Comment\n" $now > $commandfile

Oh, so very much *THIS*.

We had a major outage at our co-location facility, which caused my phone
to
go crazy with all the alerts.  It took me way too long to acknowledge
all the
hosts and services to keep my phone quiet.  I considered just disabling 
notifications all together, but there's more that gets monitored than
just that
one facility, so that wasn't really an option.

Individually acknowledging hundreds of services on dozens of hosts
really sucks.
