This is my idea for Icinga ...

customizable status definition by icinga config file

To open a wide area of future possible applications to monitor, a flexible definitions of status codes and colors would be great.
Why don't use 0 to 9 as possible code ? If nothing is defined, predefined settings could avoid problems during upgrades.
Sample config could be:
host_status0=OK
host_status0_color=#FF5577
...
host_status9=Started
host_status9_color=#565777

and the same for service status codes ...

With this, it would be possible to adjust the Icinga to the required purpose.

    although i do think this idea is wonderful for extending the possibilities of the core, within the current implementation, this won’t be possible with hardcoded states and also statechange. also the deepdown logic on alerting and notifications will be affected might consider for a rewrite, but not now…
