No good. Not good at all.

We will have to find an alternate solution.


Sorry, I think there's a big misunderstanding about the use of the markdown filter.

Basically, if you set the filter, then the plugin output will be rendered differently in the Opsview status web pages, so you can, for example, make some text bold, italicised or even add hyperlinks.

This means the plugin has to support markdown output. That is why Steve gave an example where a new custom plugin was written which produced some markdown output.

You can set the filter for plugins that do not support markdown, but then the text will not display differently (it's just normal output).

The requirement we had from the customer that sponsored the work was that they wanted to embed hyperlinks from their custom plugins. Given that requirement, we think the markdown filter is a very good solution (with additional benefits of text styling).

Roberto, I'm not sure what you were expecting from us - rewrite all plugins to produce markdown output?

Or maybe the better question is: what are you trying to do?
