Feature request: More plugin status levels

[ericloyd]

I think this was asked in the forums or elsewhere, but it would be nice if there were user-defined output levels and colors to match. 0, 1, 2 as OK, WARN, CRIT is fine, but it would be nice if user-defined status numbers could have user-defined states and user-defined colors.

Even if the list of host/service statuses (the "Christmas Tree" as we call it) isn't changed, it would still be awesome to have additional levels of status output.

0 - OK (green)
1 - WARNING (yellow)
2 - CRITICAL (red)
user adds:
65 - OK but trending negative (blue)
66 - WARNING but trending positive (purple)
67 - CRITICAL but doesn't require immediate attention (dark red)
etc

These states would show up as being in the OK, WARNING, or CRITICAL buckets, but their colors on screen would be whatever was chosen and maybe they could be reported on by selecting state numbers, not just "OK, WARN, CRIT."

I hadn't read this but mentioned this in the other post. This is something we talked about doing in the future also. We would allow a user to set the code number and a color and text associated with that code, and if it's a warn, crit, etc like you mention. I actually think it would probably be something easier to add than it would seem.
