Web Page heading and Left side menu name

Post by cskang »

My colleagues and I found several left side menu names and the heading titles inside the web pages of corresponding left side menus do not match.
For example, the web page heading title of Open Service Problems menu is:
Service Status
All services

Well, in this case, the web page contains the list of services that are having problem (Critical, Warning, or Unknown). Hence, the heading title inside the web page (i.e. Service Status/All services) is not adequate.

On other occasions, it is the other way around.
For example, the web page heading title of Host Detail is:
Host Status
All hosts

In this case, the heading title of the web page makes more sense than the name of left side menu, Host Detail.

Should we make suggestions for all such occurrences?

Or, do you have any plan in the future to make the name of left side menus and web page heading titles to be changeable by the admin user?

For this case, what you are seeing is actually intended behavior. The list of services that are having problems is not actually a completely separate page, but rather the page listing all services with certain filters applied to only show those with problems. If you look at the top of the list, you'll see the list of the filters currently being applied in the page, as shown in the screenshot below. Clicking the grey "X" will clear those filters and show you the rest of the page content.

These cases are their own page, so your suggestion makes sense.

There is a plan for administrators to be able to adapt various strings throughout the interface, primarily for purposes of internationalization, although it would work for your use case as well. I don't have an ETA on that feature however.

It is good to hear that there is a plan for the feature so that admin can be able to adapt various strings.
Please let me know when the ETA for the feature becomes available.
Thanks.
