<h2>Configuration Files</h2>
<p>NagVis is based on several configuration files. The <a
href="nagvis_config_format_description.html" target="_blank">main
configuration</a> file stores the basic and global configuration options.
The map specific configuration options are stored in <a
href="map_config_format_description.html" target="_blank">map configuration</a>
files located in <code>etc/maps</code>.
- A special type of maps are the automaps which have a configuration
file directory of their own (<code>etc/automaps</code>). The <a
href="automap_config_format.html" target="_blank">automap configuration</a>
files use the same syntax as the map configuration files but have some
additional options.</p>
+ A special type of maps are the automaps. Take a look at the <a
href="automap_config_format.html" target="_blank">automap configuration</a>
documentation for details.</p>
<p>The whole NagVis configuration can be changed using the web based
configuration dialogs.</p>
<h2>Authentication/Authorisation</h2>
<p>By default NagVis uses an internal user and permission database
(SQLite) for handling authentication and authorisation. Nagvis uses a role
based permission system. After installation there are two default users
defined:</p>

<h2> First call </h2>
- The automap can be called like this:
<pre>http://<nagios-server>/<path-to-nagvis>/frontend/nagvis-js/index.php?mod=AutoMap&act=view&show=__automap</pre>
+ If you have no experience with the automap yet, take a look at the
demo automaps installed with NagVis (demo-automap and demo-automap2). You
should be able to
+ open those automaps right after installation of NagVis from the "Open"
menu in header navigation.
- If everything is configured properly the root host and two levels of
child hosts should be displayed on the automap.
-
- <h2> Main configuration </h2>
- Some parameters for the automap can be set in the main configuration
of NagVis. For further information see <a
href="nagvis_config_format_description.html">Main Config Format Description</a>.
+ If everything is configured properly the root host and three levels of
child hosts should be displayed on the demonstration automap "demo-automap".
<h2> Map configuration </h2>
- The automaps can be configured by special configuration files located
in <code>etc/automaps</code>. The default map configuration file is named
<code>__automap.cfg</code>. All values can be found in the <a
href="automap_config_format.html">Automap Config Format Description</a>.
+ In past, the automaps were configured in special configuration files
located in <code>etc/automaps</code>, but this has changed with NagVis 1.7.
+ The automap configuration files are created as regular map
configurations (like written in the map config format definitions). To create an
+ automap in NagVis 1.7 you have to configure the map source to
<code>automap</code>. To do this, you need to add the <code>source</code>
parameter
+ to the global section and set its value to <code>automap</code>.
- The values like iconset etc. are inherited to all objects on the map.
+ <h2> Main configuration </h2>
+ Some parameters for the automap can be set in the main configuration
of NagVis. For further information see <a
href="nagvis_config_format_description.html">Main Config Format Description</a>.
<h2> URL Parameters </h2>
The automap can be called with several url parameters. Since NagVis
1.7 these options can be put into the
