At this moment I am inclined to use the alias field to place my extra data. I know I will have a weird value on my nagios page, but I won´t be changing any of the nagios default behavior. I would greatly appreciate to have your wrapper, which seems to be the best solution.

Can I add a text > field to an object template? As you've already been told, Nagios doesn't support this natively. I needed the same functionality so I built a Perl wrapper to allow abitrary metadata to be added to any config file definition like so: define host{ host_name router1a #= snmp_community public } The whole config gets serialized into a Perl cache whenever Nagios is reloaded and all of my scripts (notification/service checks) have access to this additional data. If you're comfortable with Perl and interested, I can send you the code. -- Chet Luther [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
