Download a pdf file in service monitoring

@christianm I think it’s not about some normal Checkmk report but a custom script that already generates some service-specific information and returns this in PDF format. And this script should be linked to the normal service page.

@yannicknoah I’m afraid, the only “action” that can be used is just a URL that your users can then follow by clicking on the icon. So you would somehow have to make your custom script available as an URL on a web server (by cgi or similar mechanism), probably best on the Checkmk server itself.

Once you have that, you can

  • create the action (name, description, icon, target URL) in global settings. Turn on the online help (book icon in the upper right corner) to see which variables can be used there instead of only a static URL.
  • create a rule in “Custom icons or actions for hosts in status GUI” (or the same for “services” instead of “hosts”) that assigns this “URL action” to some host(s) or service(s).
