Excluding ackd/downtime on Service Problems (Marc Powell)

[Lionel Moore]

You can construct a URL that creates any filter combination that you
desire by referring to to values set for properties and status types in
cgi/cgiutils.h and common/statusdata.h.  

Use any of the following parameters on status.cgi:
Hoststatustypes=
Servicestatustypes=
Serviceprops=
Hostprops=

Add up the decimal values for all of the properties you want ANDed or
statuses you want ORed.

Like
SERVICE_NO_SCHEDULED_DOWNTIME && SERVICE_CHECKS_ENABLED
Results in status.cgi?serviceprops=34

And 
HOST_PENDING || HOST_UP
Results in status.cgi?hoststatustypes=3

You'll see the definition of the filter you create in the "Display
Filters" box.

The only difficulty I've had is that the filter does an AND on all types
(hoststatustypes,servicestatustypes,serviceprops,and hostprops).  So for
example  status.cgi?serviceprops=1&hostprops=1 will show me nothing
unless I've scheduled downtime for both the host and its services.

Go to the Tactical Overview. If you have a Critical service that has not
been acknowledged or isn't in Downtime, you'll see something like 'x
Unhandled Problems' in the Critical Column. Click on that link. You
could also add the destination of that link to your side.html menu.
It'll be something like --

http://your.nagios.host/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=3Dall&style=3Ddet
a=
il&
servicestatustypes=3D32&hoststatustypes=3D3&serviceprops=3D42

That will only show you unhandled Critical services though.=20

http://your.nagios.host/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=3Dall&style=3Ddet
a=
il&
servicestatustypes=3D40&hoststatustypes=3D3&serviceprops=3D42

Should show you Critical and Warning.
