Re: Performance graphics black and white, where'd my color go?

Hi GldRush98 , Do you have a dark mode plugin for your browser running? If so, I would recommend disabling it on XI to see if that helps. If not, what browser are you using? What XI theme are you using? When did this issue start? I would also try clearing your browser cache and/or try a different br...

Re: Warning - hard - does not appear on dashboard

Hi @redesgtt,

Which dashboard is this specifically? I seem to be unfamiliar with what you have shown us in your screenshot. It looks like a custom dashboard possibly? Which version of Nagios XI are you running?

I will send a few links to help you get started writing a custom plugin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymVfY3wg...
