The default automap is fairly unusable once you hit a non-trivial number of hosts. We have 386 on ours, and nobody bothers. It doesn't help if you want to map certain services instead of hosts either. If you're keen on a map, you need to look at something like nagvis to do that. We have a nice map of the country/world showing connections to various overseas bureaus. Not too useful from a support point of view (most of it is green for most of the time), but is does give management something nice to look at. ________________________________ From: Macleod, Chris [mailto:cmacl...@edrington.co.uk] Sent: 11 November 2010 15:36 To: Nagios Users List Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Map The map is built automatically based on the parent/child relationship you have set in your host definitions. For instance if you make Switch1 the parent of Server1 and switch1 parent is local host you will have a map of Server1->Switch1=>Localhost This also means if switch1 goes down nagios knows server1 will be unreachable - helps reduce alerts.
