[Nagios-devel] New Feature: sorting of service- and hostnames in a domain-aware manner

[Lars V. <na...@le...>]

Hi,

wouldn't it be nice if nagios respectively the status.cgi would be able 
to recognize, if two host- or servicenames are domain names, which means 
dot-separated (like blabla.foo.bar.org.uk) and then sort the list in an 
domain-aware kind of way?

Example:
current behaviour:
a.x.org
a.y.org
b.x.org
b.y.org

desired behaviour
a.x.org
b.x.org
a.y.org
b.y.org

I've written a few lines of code, implementing that feature, but i 
edited the source directly and have never worked with patching stuff. So 
if someone would like to explain, i'll provide a patch. Anyways the code 
is just about 9 lines long, simple hack only, but working. There also 
should be some kind of switch to toggle the behaviour.

Thanks
Lars
