Bug Fix / Enhancement Request

[tmattingly]

When displaying pages that refer to pings please include a legend for the acronyms...


 RTA = Round-Trip Average
 PL = Packet Loss
 RTMAX = Maximum Round-Trip time 
 RTMIN = Minimum Round-Trip time

Could not find it in Nagios help and had to Google it.

Could you tell us which pages you are referring to?

Thank you!

@tmattingly, I have submitted a feature request on your behalf. At this time, I cannot say if it will be implemented. We are redoing the performance data in XI 6.0, so I would not anticipate we change much in that regard until at least then. Keep your eye on https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... NGES-5.TXT in case I'm wrong about that.

Since you could simply add it to the online help I would expect that the time impact to make the change to be minimal. More documentation online requires us to bug you folks less. Its better to have too much doc than too little.

I'm not a programmer but I don't see it as someting to take that long since you regularly update files and it would be simply additional text in the help portion of your application.

Thanks for the input. We really appreciate it.

What @dwhitfield said is true. A feature request is something that may or may not be implemented.

Something like this may have to occur for other acronyms on all pages as well and not only PING is how I see it.

We have recorded your feature request, but cannot guarantee any changes until things are discussed.

Let us know if you have any more questions. Thank you.

[tmattingly]

Thank you for the feedback. Is there any way I can get an estimated time of at least when it would be reviewed and then approved/denied?

It just feels like you take the feedback (and I know its not this way) but it feels like it goes into a black hole and we never hear anything again.

As you can see in the attached screenshot, I really did submit your request. You can also see that other people respond and submit feature requests in this manner.

That said, the support team does not dictate the schedule of the developers nor the feature roadmap. We cannot give you any idea as to when the developers will look at additional feature requests, although it will almost certainly be some time after XI 5.5. If there is any delay in XI 6.0, it will be noted at https://www.nagios.com/roadmaps/
