Two ways spring immediately to mind. First, you can attach notes to a host or service that appear when you click on the host or service. It's nice for quick notes, but doesn't offer much in the way of organization. Second, using host or service extended info feature, you can include an icon and link that appears in the status screens. Clicking the icon will take you to the URL of your choice, which can of course contain whatever you need. I maintain a "website" for each host which is populated with any relevant info for that particular host. Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
