<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Steve,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>the best i found was that one posted some time ago, here's a copy of this mail....</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>-- Begin forwarded mail --</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>If anyone is interested in another customized side.html option, I have one</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>that works quite well for me. It's tailored more to a large installation</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>where hostgroups could be further grouped into domains. Instead of</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>explaining it, I'll just paste the README in here:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Notes:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> My company's installation of Nagios monitors over 500 hosts and 2500</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> services. As anyone with a large Nagios deployment knows, it becomes a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> chore to try and locate a specific hostgroup or host in the web </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>interface.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> I created this replacement for the side frame to display hostgroups in </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>a</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> pleasing fashion, and incorporated a simple search box if you know the</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> host's name.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> I also created a script that allows users to toggle themselves between</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> authorized_for_all_(services|hosts). This allows all users to see </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>blocking</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> outages when they want to, but keeps their display from being cluttered</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> when they don't.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Installation:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> Assuming your Nagios is installed in /usr/local/nagios:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> 1) Open side.pl in you favorite editor to configure it.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> 2) Copy side.pl to /usr/local/nagios/sbin.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> 3) Copy side.html & index.html to /usr/local/nagios/share.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> 4) Copy *.gif to /usr/local/nagios/share/images.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> 5) If your Nagios is installed somewhere other than /usr/local/nagios.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> *) Open toggle.pl and update the path on line 27.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2> 6) Copy toggle.pl to /usr/local/nagios/sbin.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>A screenshot is available at <A HREF="http://chet.crashed.net/nagside.jpg" TARGET="_blank">http://chet.crashed.net/nagside.jpg</A>.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>The package is at <A HREF="http://chet.crashed.net/nagside-1.0.tar.gz" TARGET="_blank">http://chet.crashed.net/nagside-1.0.tar.gz</A>.</FONT>
