Quite simple actually and works great, Here’s my steps:<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><![if !supportLists]>1.) <![endif]>Download <a href="http://customurl.codeplex.com/">CustomURL</a> and install in system folder (it will ask you). Setup each url protocol you desire. Overwrite telnet if you want. You can test in Firefox or whatever browser you use (i.e. by entering telnet://x.x.x.x replacing the x’s with the IP you want to telnet to).<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><img border=0 width=396 height=236 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.png@01CDB0A7.30A79B10"><o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><![if !supportLists]>2.) <![endif]>Go into the Nagios host template that you are using for hosts you need ping –t, telnet, and ssh for and enter this in the notes field (not notes_url):<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p><a href="ping://$HOSTADDRESS$">ping</a> <a href="telnet://$HOSTADDRESS$">telnet</a> <a href="ssh://$HOSTADDRESS$">ssh</a><o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>To my surprise the notes field supports html code. Once you add this code, restart Nagios and now in the extended info are of the host you will find the 3 links for all hosts using that template. I may even add some cool mini icons later, but for now the simple text links work fine.<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Example:<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>define host {<o:p></o:p> name critical<o:p></o:p> check_command check-host-alive<o:p></o:p> max_check_attempts 1<o:p></o:p> check_interval 1<o:p></o:p> retry_interval 1<o:p></o:p> check_period 24x7<o:p></o:p> contact_groups admins<o:p></o:p> notification_interval 30<o:p></o:p> notification_period 24x7<o:p></o:p> notification_options d,u,r,f,s<o:p></o:p> notes <a href="ping://$HOSTADDRESS$">ping</a> <a href="telnet://$HOSTADDRESS$">telnet</a> <a href="ssh://$HOSTADDRESS$">ssh</a><o:p></o:p> register 0<o:p></o:p>}<o:p></o:p><o:p> </o:p>Maybe this will help someone.

If macro's can be used in action_urls I think I can get it to work with <a href="http://customurl.codeplex.com/">CustomURL</a>. Would you happen to have the link to the patch allowing multiple URLs?
