StatusMap Nagios 4x

[delboy1966]

yeah this can be a pain but also a blessing because you can draw lines between hosts or hostgroups or maps and have that line show the status of a service e.g. a vpn link and not just its ping but its overall capacity, so its really quite powerful and make maps icons on overview maps and all sorts of cool things like that.

I really love nagvis and if you do want to do more with it and struggle to get help feel free to PM me about it

Agreed it promises to be pretty good and powerful, but currently I'm not at the stage to need to use it and maintain that also.
I am only about 4 months into getting the companies whole infrastructure monitored. I may need it at a later date and may take you up on your offer, thanks.

this is a really cool idea, would be good if it was included as standard and even better if we could toggle it on or off

It would be good if it was in the next release, as you say with a way to toggle it off and on. And even better if there was an outer ring in the colour to represent the current status of the services.
I'm sure a better C coder than me might be able to rewrite the parts of the statusmap.c file to do this. I was only able to do what I did by using the patch for v3.

Thanks for your help and comments.

It sounds like you have some pretty interesting ideas - do you have a GitHub profile by chance? The best way to get these suggestions on the dev radar is to post them as an issue on our GitHub page: https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore

If you don't, just let me know and I can have someone from our support team file one.

Hi

No I don't have a GitHub profile.

Can you think of anything else you would want in your GitHub post?

Code: Select all

On a map if all hosts and their services are Ok it reads Up in green under the host.
If any of the hosts have any services that are Critical it reads "Services Critical" in red under that host.
If any of the hosts services are in Warning and no Criticals it reads "Services in Warning" in yellow under the host.
Allow anyone to see the status map - https://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=37557&start=9999#bottom

Hi

No can't think of anything else currently.
Those would be a good starting point.
