default_statusmap_layout not working

[naguser]

Hello,

I'm new to Nagios and loving it. The one thing I can't get is the map view to default to Balanced Tree Horizontal.

I found default_statusmap_layout in cgi.cfg but any setting is ignored and it defaults to circular. I restart nagios after changing.

Using Nagios Core 4.1.0rc1 on CentOS 7.1.1503

Thanks.

The following worked for me:

# DEFAULT STATUSMAP LAYOUT METHOD
# This option allows you to specify the default layout method
# the statusmap CGI should use for drawing hosts. If you do
# not use this option, the default is to use user-defined
# coordinates. Valid options are as follows:
# 0 = User-defined coordinates
# 1 = Depth layers
# 2 = Collapsed tree
# 3 = Balanced tree
# 4 = Circular
# 5 = Circular (Marked Up)

#default_statusmap_layout=5 (commented out)
default_statusmap_layout=3

The map displayed properly after adjusting the above setting - no restart required. I am wondering if CentOS 7 has something to do with it. Do you have selinux enabled?

Code: Select all

sestatus

Please note that I tested with 4.0.8. I did not test with your version.

I just tested this with 4.1. It is indeed not working. I doubt the new map respects any of the cgi layout settings.
I opened a github bug report here:

Thanks abrist.

No problem. You may want to watch the github thread as that is where this issue will most likely get updated by Eric[0] or one of the other core devs.

For what it's worth, I looked into this issue and made some comments on the GitHub page:

https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/na ... -100601221

Basically, the core cgi files still respect the setting, but for some reason the new maps in 4.1 do not. I documented how to set the defaults in my comments there.

Perfect! That worked for me. Thank you.

Great to hear! I'll be closing this thread now, but feel free to open another if you need anything in the future!
