Did > this bug make it into Nagios Core? this feature was reported to nagios as display_name for statusmap.cgi, somewhere on nagios-devel lists. i took the liberty to implement full display_name support in icinga classic ui at that time but never reported nor backported a patch to nagios. given the recent statement by nagios developers on not enhancing the nagios classic ui anymore, i don't see the need to invest some spare time to backport feature patches from icinga to nagios anymore. i for myself only use icinga with classic ui, so call me happy. for the time being, i'd suggest migrating to OMD where you'll get the best of all worlds (nagios, icinga, shinken as well as guis supporting display_name). jm2c, michael > > I'm running NagiosĀ® Coreā¢ Version 3.3.1. > > Regards > > Ben > > [1] http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host > [2] https://dev.icinga.org/issues/307 > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > RSA(R) Conference 2012 > Mar 27 - Feb 2 > Save $400 by Jan. 27 > Register now! > http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev2 > _______________________________________________ > Nagios-users mailing list > Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users > ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting > any issue. > ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null -- DI (FH) Michael Friedrich Vienna University Computer Center Universitaetsstrasse 7 A-1010 Vienna, Austria email: michael.friedr...@univie.ac.at phone: +43 1 4277 14359 mobile: +43 664 60277 14359 fax: +43 1 4277 14338 web: http://www.univie.ac.at/zid http://www.aco.net Lead Icinga Core Developer http://www.icinga.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Mar 27 - Feb 2 Save $400 by Jan. 27 Register now! http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev2 _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
