Nagios XI 5 Open Beta - Download Available

BanditBBs: Can you check your httpd error_log when you are loading the metrics component page? There might be a php problem.

WillemDH: It is actually showing the total - it doesn't aggregate the total in the hover but it should show the total on the right-hand side of all items that have been stacked. This is for the multi-stacked graphs in graph explorer only.

Nothing in /var/log/messages or the httpd error log.

TO continue on the dashboards. Why is there Nagios XI in the top left of my screenshot, while when I go to this 'home dashboard' in the dashboard section, There is no Nagios XI? Check the difference in the two screenshots attached.

EDIT : Please ignore this => Default Home Page Title is Nagios XI....

I've went ahead and removed the forced 'Nagios XI' in the right-hand corner... it's pretty redundant considering it's already in the upper right hand corner. However, might be nice to add some sort of dashlet that just lets you add formatted text to dashboards - if there isn't one already floating around out there.

@ Jake => Ah yes, I see. THe multistacked Grap Explorer seems indeed cumulatively stacked by default. But (sorry if I sound demanding) could this be a feature that can be enabled / disabled? As I have cases where we would prefer them not to be stacked and cases where they need to be stacked? Like an extra dropdown option in 'graph Options''?

You bet there is, it's called "Text Dashlet Enhanced":

Yes, a non stacked drop-down option would be easy to implement and I agree it would be helpful. I'll add it in.

Superb Jake! I'm not sure what would be the best option, make it stacked or non-stacked by default. Maybe if you make it non stacked by default and add a stacked option, this would give less confusion to users, as the default behavior would stay the same as in the previous version?

Initial issues:

1.) New scheduled downtime screen is awesome, even better than my custom component. However, it needs the ability to schedule hostgroup/servicegroup downtimes as wekk, not just host and service
2.) metrics seem to not work at all

For my #1 there, on the schedule host and also schedule hostgroup(I pray you add) pages there needs to be a checkbox(checked by default) to also schedule a downtime for all services on host/hostgroup.
For #2, I'm still trying to find any sort of errors, finding nothing, just blank page on metrics

I actually really prefer the look of the stacked version than the overlay and would like to make stacked default since it seems to be more usable overall. However, you guys are the customers and if you think it's confusing to make that one default I can change it back to the overlay as default. I've added the old one back into the drop-down though so that can be selected now.

About the Birdseye view. It seems the 'hide handled' option is not saved when leaving the page. As we will never want to see the unhandled hosts / services in the Birdseye view, this would imply we would have to click this every time we go to the Birdseye view. Could this option be changed so it is saved on a per user basis?

@Jake,

Let us keep it the way you intended it for some time (with the addition to choose non stacked in the graph option). I'm using the Graph Explorer a lot and will let you know once I have it running in production if making stacked the default works in the long run. If necessary I'll make a fr to enable us to choose ourselves which to set as default.

I agree on this.
