how to I get Map in core

[sciencedicas]

I'm running nagios core and I have set the dependevies and partents relationship for my host.
but still when I click on the Map link, I see all the host at the same hierarchical level.

what should I be doing in order to see the layout of my Network on the Map link ?

thank you in advance

Have you restarted the core engine since making the config changes? Could you provide some sample configs of what you have done for relationships?

[sciencedicas]

yes I did restart the service with " service nagios restart"

as for the configuration, what I did was create the parent relationship.

define host{
use basic-host ; Inherit default values from a template
host_name SW1 ; The name we're giving to this switch
alias switch located in the Telco room ; A longer name associated with the switch
address 10.100.2.200 ; IP address of the switch
hostgroups switches ; Host groups this switch is associated with
parents SW2
}

I was expecting to see on the MAP SW2---------->SW1

What is the layout method that you have selected? Try changing the layout method to check if you will be able to see more layers.
