Hi

Monitor with Instant Messaging:
For e.g. when the network group know that the WAN provider has a problem it could be useful to send a instant messaging in the Monitor view for the helpdesk.

I have developped quickly something for Monitor (but not finished the part for the rights, because it would need realms and changes in setup .... and that is your plugin .... ) . At this time only admin can send a message. "function monitorCheckRightMessage"

put in monitor :
line 17 --> include_once("./plugins/monitor/InstantMessage.php");
line 90 --> monitorBannerMessage($host_down);

and copy /plugins/monitor/InstantMessage.php

If you like it you can add it and continue it, also do it more beautiful.

Thanks for all your work and the genial "plugin architectur".

Because some people by us are interesting in this functions I add now the possibility to add severall users.

... but manually in the fonction "monitorCheckRightMessage"

I like it... Thanks alot.

hopefully it will be merged into the current plugin using realms to control who can send.

Hello

Sorry Jimmy but I need this changes .... I've changed a little bit your plugin to have the possibility to have my instant messaging and host down first.

1/ download this version
2/ The parameter to set are in Tab Configuration/setting/Misc:
- Show the host down first to check
- Show the banner instant messaging
- Users with write rights in instant messaging

PS: the changes in setup.php, monitor.php are marked with
// BEGIN OF CHANGES
// END OF CHANGES
and I've added "InstantMessage.php" and a sound not so aggressiv
