Additional Column in Service Details

[Marc Powell]

This conversation is probably better suited to nagios-devel. You'll need
to look at status.c, find the section of code that displays the specific
page you want to edit and make your additions. In Nagios 1.1 it looks
like the main host/services display happens around line 3446 (try
searching for 'the main list of services'). The variable containing the
address looks like it might be 'temp_host->address' but I'm sure if
you're able to modify the code to the extent you want then you can
determine what it is for sure (or ask on the devel list).
