I am in the semi-final stages of setting up a nagios instance that monitors aprox. 100 devices for a medium size manufacturing facility. We are going to implement nagvis.
I am looking for some ideas as to how to best utilize this tool. We basically have "clusters" of computers. These clusters are distributed fairly widely from a geographic point of view. I have a map of the facility that I can use. It seems to me, that there are 2 basic ways to "view" our conglomeration of systems. One is geographic, and the 2nd is from a network topology point of view. Frankly I think a nagvis presentation of both would be useful. The network topology version is fairly straightforward (I think, but I would like to here others point of view on this). The geographic version however, frankly I am struggling with. If I show the systems on the large area map, they are fairly spread out. I am thinking of doing that, and making dynamic links for each cluster. These links would be color coded based upon the status of all of the computers in that cluster, and would provide a link to a more detailed view. I'd love to hear what other peoples thoughts on this are. -- One of the main causes of the fall of the roman empire was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate successful termination of their C programs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
