Thanks,

I think we currently do something along those lines. It's more so that our user 
support desk or even users ( I work in a university ) can easily spot if a 
service (not service in the opsview sense since a fair few things are load 
balanced) is having issues. I.e. a single viewport page which lists a range of 
our services, exchange being one of them, and a simple sign of if they're 
working fine or having issues. That way we can deal with the solution to the 
issue rather than dealing with users telling them were dealing with it, if you 
see what I mean.

Most of the staff and students are quite capable of clicking a link and seeing 
if their problem might be known in a simple way but wouldn't know that "login 
node 1 SG1 MS1" (there's another 40 odd of them, let alone other things) is 
critical might mean that their emailbox might not be working.

It's really just to make an easy view for people not in the know to be able to 
quickly see if there is an issue with something they might use, and for myself 
and team possibly adding it to my custom igoogle homepage so that we have a 1 
stop view of all provided services and if there's an issue with any of them 
without risking a page worth to wade through - if each service have 2 issues 
each it could be a long list.

Cheers,
Tucker

You could try to simply sort the viewport so that the error's and warning's are 
displayed on top:

http://docs.opsview.org/doku.php?id=opsview-community:monitoringui#url_parameters

For instance:
http://[OPSVIEWSERVER]/viewport/[VIEWPORTNAME]?order=state_desc

Thanks,
Mark

Subject: [opsview-users] A viewport of a viewport

Hi,

Is it possible to create a viewport of a viewport?

For example we currently have exchange in a viewport, the initial thinking was 
that we'd easily be able to see if there was an issue, possibly showing the 
viewport to users. However the viewport is a silly number of scrolls long so 
becomes mildly pointless. I was wondering if it is possible to have a viewport 
monitoring that viewport (in this example exchange but could be any of the main 
services), so that if all items are up the top level viewport would indicate in 
one line that exchange was green, if some of the items in the (exchange) 
viewport are down then orange, if all down then red. Is this possible in 
opsview? I realised it would be very useful after seeing something of the like 
in a SCOM system display.

Thanks in advance,
Tucker
