Hi Giles, Thanks for your comments. The 'Network Health' page is designed to reflect the status of the network as a whole which, I agree, can be confusing when host-specific filters are specified. An example scenario of the reasoning behind this is:
You're viewing the 'network health' page and select the "down hosts only" filter. All the hosts in this filter will be down, thus rendering the network "100% down", which obviously looks bad. NLG v2 is going to be designed to work better with users, permissions and groups and will be better suited to those who don't want a simple "network overview" and would like to restrict what different users and groups can see. In terms of licensing, clause 4c states that if the work, ie. NLG, is publicly displayed then all copyright notices must be kept intact, including the author's name, designated company, title of the work and URL. Therefore if you're providing access to NLG through a publicly-available URL or website, the copyright notice must be left intact, otherwise if it is only available to a set number of users (e.g. through an internal URL or intranet) I'm happy for the copyright notice to be removed.

Is that going to be an issue? I'm not talking about removing any copyright or license information from the source files itself, just the customer facing side. > > Thanks > > Giles > > ________________________________________ > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Shellam > Sent: 18 February 2008 13:06 > To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios Looking Glass 1.1.0 beta 1 released > > The Nagios Looking Glass is pleased to announce the availability of NLG 1.1.0 beta 1. > This is the first release in the 1.1 series that makes NLG compatible with Nagios 3 (tested with Nagios 3.0rc2) while maintaining compatibility with Nagios 2.x. > > The major changes in this version against 1.0.6 are: > * Added configuration option to change the location of cached files client-side (http://tracker.networkmail.eu/task/337) > * Locking for cache files (http://tracker.networkmail.eu/task/336) > * comments.dat and downtime.dat no longer available (change these to status.dat in server/sync-files/s3_config.inc.php) (http://tracker.networkmail.eu/task/333) > * Allow override of default timezone (http://tracker.networkmail.eu/task/214) > * Ability to disable client-side caching (http://tracker.networkmail.eu/task/126) > The new release can be downloaded from www.nagioslookingglass.co.uk/downloads. > > Regards, > > Andy Shellam > Lead Developer > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- > This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft > Defy all challenges.
