Hi Icinga users,
Please point me in the right direction if replying to the digest is not the
way to ask my question. It relates to icinga-web and creation of additional
columns in the host and service status tabs.
I have successfully created the new columns by following instructions on
adding a new field to the xml templates for hosts and services per the
official documentation.
What I have also done in my host definitions is create a custom varible
that contains an article number (numerical string eg 123) for a Kwok
information server that relates to the host. The custom variable begins
with and underscore as required by the core. When I call the vustom
variable in the xml template {_kwok} to generate a url to click in the new
column it does not return the value. If I call a standard variable eg
{host_name} it returns the variable in the url just fine.
The question I guess is as to whether calling custom variables in the xml
templates in icinga web is supported by the api's and if so how can I call
them correctly so the value is returned? Does it have anything to do with
the datasource tag in the xml field definition or prepending the custom
variable with a particular prefix?
I am running icinga web 1.6.1 on a Ubuntu 11.10 server, and pnp4nagios is
integrated and funtioning. I use nagiosql for my config files but am
comfortable with modifying them by hand also. I have verified the custom
variables are being written to the host and service definitions correctly
by nagiosql.
Any assistance greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Adam
