Dashlet to display top ten of a particular metric

[sanjayhiranisq]

Hi,

I want to be able to display the top ten of a particular metric. For example: head -10 (sort (for all hosts in hostgroup(nfsclients) get the metric service(nfs_stats)metric(nfs_apps_read))))
I want that displayed in simple text form as a list, no fancy fonts/graphics etc.

Is there already a dashlet to do this or can you provide a dashlet writing guide that I can use?

so basically I want to be able to give the dashlet the title, the hostgroup/servicegroup and the metric to search for (regex)

Thank you
Sanjay

Have you considered using the Metrics component? With the Metrics component, you could show "top 10" of various metrics (Disk/CPU/Memory Usage, Load, & Swap).

Home->Details->Metrics

Hi,
the metric tool only shows be about 5 metrics for a server. Is there any way to be able to choose any metric?

Thank you
Sanjay

That functionality doesn't currently exist, I've created a feature request for you:

Code: Select all

NEW TASK ID 9814 created - Nagios XI Feature Request: Metrics/Dashlet - Add the ability to use regex to specify what metrics should be shown

I am unaware of any documentation that tells you how to write your own dashlets.

Let me know if you have any questions.


Thank you
