[Nagiosplug-help] Service Status Details output filtering?

[Ton Voon]

Chris,

You'll probably get more replies at nagios-users, rather than the  
plugins list :)

We use a URL like: http://nagios.server/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi? 
host=all&style=summary&servicestatustypes=28&serviceprops=10250

This lists host/service problems which are not in scheduled downtime  
& not acknowledged & is not flapping & notifications enabled.  
Operators use this view to see what are the outstanding problems.

See include/cgiutils.h in the Host and Service Filter Properties  
section for how to create the serviceprops value.

BTW, this number is different between Nagios 1 and Nagios 2.
