generating machine support list

[Tedman Eng]

You can use the extended host info file's notes_url field to link to a url
that contains that infomation.
For example, an intranet's "on call" status page, or as an html file in the
nagios system's own web server.

Or, if you're okay being tight on space, you can just list them in
icon_image_alt, and it'll show up when you drill down to that hosts' detail
page, or hover the mouse over the icon in the overview screens.

here's an example of both:

define hostextinfo{
        host_name       www_sf14
        notes_url       http://nagios_server/oncall.html
        icon_image      telephone.png
        icon_image_alt  Jack, Bubba, Mary Sue, Billy Jo, cousin Riley, m'
other cousin Riley
        statusmap_image telephone.gd2
        }
