Sadly Erik it’s not quite that clever, the best you can manage is editing the page in the left frame to include a link to “ping tool” (then selecting the host you’d like to ping).

Take a look in the web root you installed nagios, there is like two html files, one that does the frameset, and the other that is the menu, I’m away from a nagios box at the moment so I can’t direct you exactly right now, feel free to contact me if you have any problems.

I would like to include your functionality, but at the moment most of the front end is complied cgi, when the front end becomes extendible - which I believe is on the development road map - I will definatley look into this.

All The best

Hi - I’m a Nagios newbie who has discovered your ping & traceroute script.

Can you suggest how to integrate these in Nagios? So that I can click on one of the icons in the status map and ping that host?

Thanks for writing this, just what I was looking for.

Had one small problem the ping page did not work in IE v6 (I know but is my works SOE) yet it worked fine in my firefox.

I pinned this down to the 2nd last line in header.php as follows:

Just the closing of the comment field for your website has an extra space ie — > not –>

Anyway thanks again fo the scripts.
