I've installed Fusion 4.
Perhaps I need to have someone with a better grasp on Fusion help me understand this a bit better.
What I looking to do is quickly and easily allow my users to see info about the servers they care about.
Let me use Bob from Accounting as an example. In our environment we currently have 16 active Nagios XI servers and 1 Dev instance but that isn't important really for this discussion.
So Bob calls up the monitoring team and says "Hey can you show me my 30 systems in monitoring? Oh and by the way we added 5 new servers last week so really I need to see all 35 systems."
Now, in the new Fusion 4 Bob could be his own users and manage his own dashboard. What Bob might not know is where the 5 new servers are in our list of 16. So now I need to ensure he knows which server each of his 5 servers is on. They might be on one server or they may be spread across 5 different XI nodes. Now here is the interesting thing, at least for me, that I'm not sure how to actively engage the services for each of the hosts (the way XI shows it).
So, share with me how to help Bob (and my other 2500 users) get to the data they want. I've started doing this in a Federated model (working well just tweaking some things still) and it is easy for our users to define views/dashboards about the stuff they care about. We can query the DB on the Federated node and pull all the data we want about any system.
Looking for help. Hope to get some positive feedback.
