3 months of NLS - my wishlist for development

[eloyd]

Because we're trying to remove the human aspect. The NOC monitor is not connected to a mouse.

I'm with Eric trying to remove the human aspect,


Nagvis is a good example of a product designed for a purpose, it is great because it lets you cycle automatically between screens and I'd love to do the same with NLS, cycling between important dashboards that we use throughout the day and if the whole thing is automated we can swap between nagvis and nls without worrying about authentication etc...

I can definitely bring all of this up at the tech meeting. I can't really speak to which will/will not be implemented, and for those that will I couldn't give an exact delivery date, but I think there are some good suggestions here that will make it into feature request territory.

Seamless auth between an XI and an NLS system might be a little tricky, but something we can think about. The rotating dashboards is a pretty great idea though.

I did a quick look back through this note and I don't see any mention of XI until you brought it up, Spencer.

Maybe not XI directly no, but nagvis is there, and hence I made the jump to XI.

Right now I would just be happy if I could get Kibana 3 (on a separate CentOS7 box) to display data when querying NLS using NLS API which uses ES query with NLS auth token supplied. NLS uses ES 1.3.2 which should play nice with Kibana 3 in general as long as the auth token is passed over in the URL query.

NLS ES does return results when using curl -XGET 'http://nagils1/nagioslogserver/index.ph ... xxxxxxxxxx''

It also returns results okay using a URL such as this in chrome web browser http://nagils1/nagioslogserver/index.ph ... xxxxxxxxxx

Kibana 3 is up and running with the following elasticsearch URL specified, but the Kibana dashboard is just blank and has no errors.

elasticsearch: "http://nagils1/nagioslogserver/index.ph ... xxxxxxxxxx''

Any suggestions for getting standalone Kibana 3 to display NLS data using ES queries and NLS API?

What are you attempting to use the separate Kibana box for? Before I begin testing this in my lab, I want to make sure that you understand that Nagios Log Server comes installed with Kibana 3 - and I would like to understand why you're using a remote Kibana box. Thanks - let us know!
