Re: Nagios XI and Nagvis Issues

Here is a new map that I just created:
define global {
alias=TestMap
object_id=0
}
Here are the steps that I take to create my map:
-I create my background with all the nice things on it (customized jpeg with all items typed out so I can add statuses next to them)
-Upload my background jpeg
-change my new map to have the background as the new jpeg in Map Options
-I go to edit and "lock/unlock all" to go into edit mode.
-I add the hosts I want to with my own blocks I created for the "up" "down" "warning" etc.
-I go in and change the "lock/unlock all" back to lock
-I go and turn off the header (I don't want to see it for my NOC screen)
After I do this, If I ever need to edit it for any reason, I can't just go into NagVis and start editing. I have to go to the .cfg file and make "header=0" back to "header=1". When I save it and go back to the map, half of the items are gone that I have put down. I have to try a bunch of things to finally get them to stay on there and not disappear.
I hope that helps a little bit?
