Run URLs

Run URLs are configurable links available as quick-access shortcuts for each host in the table. They can contain variables that are dynamically replaced with host data.

Concept

A Run URL is a URL template with placeholders. When you click the URL, the placeholders are replaced with the actual values of the host and the URL is opened in the browser.

Example:

https://monitoring.company.com/host/{hostname}

Becomes for the host "web01":

https://monitoring.company.com/host/web01

Managing Run URLs

Access management via Settings > Run URLs.

Creating a Run URL

Syntax

The correct placeholder syntax uses single curly braces: {varname} (not ).

Module Filter

Run URLs can be restricted to specific modules:

  • All - Appears for all host types
  • OPNsense - Only in the OPNsense module
  • Proxmox VE - Only in the PVE module
  • Proxmox PBS - Only in the PBS module
  • Linux - Only in the Linux module
  • Windows - Only in the Windows module

Multiple selection is possible - a URL can apply to e.g. only PVE and PBS.

Usage

In the Context Menu

Right-clicking on a host shows the configured Run URLs as a submenu under "Run URL":

  • Only active (enabled: true) URLs are displayed
  • Only URLs configured for the current module
  • Sorted by the configured sort order
  • Each URL shows the configured icon

URL Opening

When clicking a Run URL:

  1. All {variable} placeholders are replaced with the host's values
  2. The final URL is opened in a new browser tab
