Is there a recommended or a sample framework (outside of nagios) that would be useful in implementing that page or is the page that it would point to something that is mostly home-grown by developers?<div> <div class="gmail_quote"> On Fri, May 25, 2012 at 10:21 AM, Andreas Ericsson <<a href="mailto:ae@op5.se" target="_blank">ae@op5.se</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> On 05/25/2012 03:29 PM, Ajay Jethani wrote: > I'd like the nagios dashboard to allow me to run commands MANUALLY when I > see there is an issue. > For example, when a service goes into the 'CRITICAL state' I would check > the dashboard and do a sanity check by looking at the performance output > and perhaps even log onto the machine.
