Using Icinga r2.4.0-1 and IcingWeb2 2.1.0-1 on an Ubuntu 14.04.3 server.

I think it would be really useful to be able to bring up global search results from Icinga Web 2 which include realtime Plugin Output text. Is there a way to already do this? Is there any reason this shouldn't happen? I can think of only resources/performance...?

Maybe this is included in or related to Reporting? I've yet to get that set up. I have PNP4Nagios working so there's also a custom option there I suppose. I've also recently setup graphite/grafana so I may be able to work something there as well.

Hi,

The plugin output is a text column in the database and thus not indexable. Enabling this as default search column would reduce performance drastically, especially in large environments. It is possible to search for host_output or service_output using our filter syntax, e.g. service_output=disk. We could add a virtual output column for searching for host and service output.

Best regards,
Eric
