I hope I understand what you want to tell us. Nagvis can make a distinction between a host/service, a hostgroup, a servicegroup OR a map. So, if you want a general map with one symbol representing the 4 sites, you can make a general map with on that general map, one symbol, respresenting a sub-map (I can't remember the Nagvis nomination by heart). Then you create the submap and on that submap you can put 4 symbols, one for each site (considered your site is hostgroup in Nagios). To make things more clear, before you can represent the status of a sub-map (or child-map) on a general map, the child-map has to be created first in Nagvis. Hope this helps. Don't hesitate to contact me if this explanation isn't clear enough, Frederik ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
