It uses Nagios as its core component, but improves upon the graphics and Administrator functions. More information can be found at: http://www.groundworkopensource.com/network-management-software.html. Now, I have not installed Groundworks at this time, so I am not sure if an acknowledgment link is sent with the notifications. Nagios provides a link with the notifications for acknowledgments, if you place the macro in the mail command. You would need to find the absolute path to the particular acknowledgment and place that in the mail command. In Nagios it would be http://your url/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi?cmd_typ=33 for hosts and http://your url/cgi-bin/cmd.cgi?cmd_typ=34 for services. A quick way to find out the absolute path is to click on a problem, then mouse-over the option to acknowledge the problem. I hope that helps.
