Anyone add custom urls in the Monitor Plugin?

[Ringrose]

I would like to add some custom urls to the monitor plug in. I would perfer to have them as icons, one to open a rdp session or web page and the other to open just a web page.

An example of this is that I monitor a Windows 2008 Server, I would like an icon next to the name that will allow me to open an RDP session I would also like to click on another icon that opens a web page with documentation on the server.

Anyone already try this and if not any suggestions on what I should research first?

The problem you have is that you cant launch msrdp.exe from IE (I.E. rdp://10.10.10.4 ), unless you have remote desktop web connection installed on the server. Additionally your documentation link would need to consist of a constant path with the server name, or IP as the variable (I.E. http://document_server.corporate.local/servername or http://document_server.corporate.local/10.10.10.4).

After all of that, you would have to decide on a theme that you want to use in the Monitor section inside your cacti settings.
I like the look of;
Show Icon Legend = checked
Grouping = Tree
View = Tiles

That produces a view like this;

SERVERNAME
Status: Up
IP Address: 10.10.10.4
Ping: 31.09 ms
Last Fail: 2008-05-14 06:56:00
Availability: 99.9%


You would then have to edit the source code (monitor.php) and change the table to include your icons with those dynamic links, like this;
