Re: [Nagios-users] Several map views of Nagios
Hi, you may want to have a look a nagvis (http://www.nagvis.org/doku.php) which is interresting to provide different customisable views and has a simple built in editor. Of course if you have more than 50 hosts it starts to be difficult to set them up by hand. Therefor I'd suggest you also look at graphviz ( http://www.graphviz.org/) to automagically calculate proper coordinates for your hosts based on the parent relationship between them ... Seb.

The statusmap.cgi does not re-draw the map in regards to screen coordinates when hiding groups. Your maps will remain cluttered even though you can filter what's even displayed.

Re: [Nagios-users] Several map views of Nagios
using something like graphiz like Sébastien Barbereau suggested, or nagviz i could easily manage the locations of hosts on the map, its a bit of a hassle since every time a host is added you have to move around some 10 other hosts, but its better than nothing. Algorithms that automatically draw maps and do proper spacing would be great, something like graphiz, but the more immediate problem is getting only selected hostgroups to appear in the map, because even when i hide certain hostgroups, lines still point to their hosts. Really it should be a simple patch, just include some config below default_statusmap_layout in cgi.cfg , say included_hostgroups= routers,wireless... whatever. But i dont know C, any volunteers ? you get a big thankyou :D On 1/25/07, Chris Moody [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The statusmap.cgi does not re-draw the map in regards to screen coordinates when hiding groups.

Re: [Nagios-users] Several map views of Nagios
Dear Patrick, Did you mean that we can groups several hosts as one hostgroup and then we can select only to view the hosts in the hostgroup at the Map. Previously I thought the hostgroup is used to define some correspond parameters of several hosts, just know that it was for display purpose. Thank you very much.

Re: [Nagios-users] Several map views of Nagios
Dear Morris, I saw in the Map View, there is listbox to include/exclude drawing layer of certain hostgroups. When I select to include hostgroups A, then servers not in hostgroups A will disappear. Unfortunately during the next automatic screen refresh, the listbox selection was not pertained and the map view screen returned back all map view. Any idea ?

[Nagios-users] Several map views of Nagios
I learned several commercial software of NMS could defined several views of Monitoring maps and customize it for certain need. I think it's a good idea. Let say we have hundreds of server to monitor, and it would be very crowded and quite invisible if we put all the servers in one monitoring map. So the idea is to classify the servers/network devices into several categories such as routers, servers related with App A, servers with App B. Then PIC for routers will only have to monitor the map with routers devices, the same thing applies to PIC for application A only need to monitor the map with App A servers. Is it possible for Nagios to do several map views ? Best Regards, Herman - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
