Stephen,

   Have you looked at the custom notes section of check_mk, here:  \
http://mathias-kettner.de/checkmk_multisite_notes.html  ? It has very similar \
functionality - not exactly the same, so it might not work for you - but - its pretty \
close.

   I use it display a wiki page, and also to setup a remote connection (ie, rdp, ssh, \
http, etc, depending on the host)

I've whipped up a sort of pseudo plugin so the services list for each host I monitor \
has some basic info and a link or two to other web pages we maintain for each host.

On each system I'll have a text file looking like this:

OK - Links/Info:<br><a
href="http://wikiserver.domain/OurWiki/index.php/hostname" 
target="_blank">SysDoc</a><br>IP: 192.168.1.2<br>MAC: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF<br>

That's all on one line.

Then in mrpe.cfg I have:
Info_Block            /bin/cat /etc/check_mk/info_block

The purpose is to be able to easily bring up the wiki page that we have for each host \
and provide some basic info about each host in an easily accessible place within \
check_mk.

The service will always be in an OK state, unless something happens to the info_block \
file itself.  Any opinions on pros and/or cons of this setup?  Is there a plugin that \
already can do something similar that I haven't seen yet?
