Oops, I polled the nightly yesterday (~4:00pm EST).  Is there any update
since then?

The interfaces are sure much nicer than 0.7.9.

One small thing I noticed when I navigated through the menu was it is
nice if there is indent in the sub_menu.  I added some " " in the
title/sub title in $view_modes_list.  There could be a better solution.
Since I'm new to jffnms, most of my questions below are more or less
related to design concept or culture thingy:

Is Alarm view, similar to event view (table like, not the graph stuff)
can be provided?  The reason I ask this is for large site, Ops may need
to focus on Alarms.  Events view could be too much to monitor.  (I could
miss understood the concept of alarm in jffnms)

Can the field Ack in event be overload by a ticket ID and/or user ID?
Again, this is related to large Op center when work flow between folks
need to be managed.  Simple check mark may not be enough.

In the same Ack thingy, the default 20 sec refresh make it impossible to
do any thing as the user input are constantly wiped out.  It gets even
worse if user want to create a new journal.  Maybe the journal/ack
should be a popup?

Thanks for the good works!!!

Subject: [jffnms-users] JFFNMS 0.8.0-pre1 Released

Hi,

I'm starting the release plan for 0.8.0 with the first test release
-pre1.
You should expect final 0.8.0 in a couple of weeks.

There were a lot of changes in this version, 60% GUI related and 20%
poller 
related.

I hope you like the new GUI, it was tested with Firefox 1.0 and IE 6 and
it 
seems to work correctly on both (thanks to Peter Burgstaller for the
HTML and JS 
books).

The new poller system is designed to work from the smallest networks to
the 
biggest environments (if you have the needed hardware), no more
sequential host 
polling, if you have over 300 hosts you know that the current poller
will not 
finish launching poller childs on time for 5 minute measures. It was
tested on a 
300 device network thanks to Travis Johnson.

I'm asking for an all-out testing phase, I really need your feedback on
all the 
changes since I don't have the time or the network to test everything.

Please try it on a test server, not your main production server.
It will be better if you could simulate an upgrade, that is copy your db
and 
jffnms code to another server and the upgrade to 0.8.0-pre1 as per
instructions.

You can also check the INSTALL file for updated clean-install
instructions.
