version 5.1.21

- nagios_runner: remove overall_status/overall_status_code/plugin_count fields;
  each command still reports its own <name>_status and <name>_status_code
- threshold: expose {output} and {status} aliases in display templates for
  nagios_runner generic matches (mapped from <check_name>_output/status)
- alerts.html: fix scrolling by overriding html,body height/overflow (style.css
  sets both); make hostname a link to /plugins/<hostname>

 - **Memory**: percent, available_mb, swap_percent
 - **Disk**: Per-partition percent, free_gb, free_mb
 - **Network**: errors_total, dropped packets, connection counts
-- **Nagios**: exit_code mapping (0=OK, 1=WARNING, 2=CRITICAL)
+- **Nagios**: Any field emitted by `nagios_runner` (status_code, exit_code, performance data, …)
+
+### Display Format Templates
+
+Each threshold entry accepts an optional `display` field — a Python format string shown in notifications and on the Alerts dashboard:
+
+```yaml
+nagios_runner:
+  status_code:
+    warning: 1
+    critical: 2
+    operator: ">="
+    display: "{check_name}: exit {value} (expected < {threshold_value})"
+```
+
+Available variables:
+
+| Variable | Description |
+|---|---|
+| `{value}` | Current metric value |
+| `{threshold_value}` | Threshold that was crossed |
+| `{op_symbol}` | Comparison operator (`>`, `<`, `>=`, …) |
+| `{check_name}` | Prefix stripped by generic matching (see below) |
+| `{metric_name}` | Full field name within the plugin data |
+| `{output}` | For `nagios_runner` generic matches: the matched check's status text (alias for `{check_name}_output`) |
+| `{status}` | For `nagios_runner` generic matches: the matched check's status name — OK/WARNING/CRITICAL/UNKNOWN (alias for `{check_name}_status`) |
+| any plugin field | Any other field present in the plugin's data |
+
+### Generic Threshold Matching
+
+When a metric name has no exact threshold entry, the server progressively strips leading underscore-separated segments and re-tries the lookup. This lets a single generic entry cover an entire family of metrics.
+
+The classic use case is `nagios_runner`, which names each metric after the command that produced it:
+
+```
+nagios_runner.check_disk_root_status_code    → no exact match
+nagios_runner.disk_root_status_code          → no match
+nagios_runner.root_status_code               → no match
+nagios_runner.status_code                    → matched ✓
+```
+
+Configure the generic threshold once:
+
+```yaml
+nagios_runner:
+  status_code:
+    warning: 1
+    critical: 2
+    operator: ">="
+    display: "{check_name}: exit {value}"
+```
+
+The stripped prefix (`check_disk_root` in the example above) is available as `{check_name}` in the display template, so you can identify which check triggered the alert without writing a separate threshold entry per command.
+
+Exact matches always take priority. A generic entry only applies when no specific one is defined.
