Router Wizrad and general wizard issues

Post by sharding »

Dear Nagios,

The router wizard,

1) the check boxes for each port on a switch/stack is way too small, having to go through every port on a stack of 48 port switches is time consuming and very difficult as the check boxes are way too small.

as there are 3 columns too, the uncheck by column is good, however 3 clicks in a tiny box is needed for every port.

2) It really should not see every port-channel group the switch supports, this is a ridiculous number to include in the results

3) I should be able to set wizard defaults - for example the notification page, should be select notification by default, it's annoying having to turn this off every time and then DE-select all the sub options that are checked by default on this page.

I don't care if this is viewed as a enhancement request, but wizard defaults need to be customization, check-boxes all over Nagios, need to be much bigger and allows multi-selection more easily.

1) You should be able to adjust the sizes using the Custom Includes component and changing the CSS, see here:

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=556

Feature Request Added:

Code: Select all

FR: XI - Switch/Router Wizard - Add an option to check all three checkboxes for each port row listed, currently you need to check three boxes (Port, Bandwidth, Status), just give a link at the beginning of the row or something that will check that row's checkboxes for faster use

2) Feature Request Added:

Code: Select all

FR: XI - Switch/Router Wizard - Add an option to filter out by ifType or some other method to only show the port types they want (such as excluding port-channel groups, etc)

3) You can with Wizard templates
- Run through the wizard, set all the things you want from step 3 onwards of the wizard, keep clicking Next until you see Save as a Template
- Click the Save as a Template button
- Save it as a global template (if you want others to be able to use it)
- Once the template is saved, re-run the wizard
- On the very first page of the wizard, click the gear icon at the top and select your new wizard template that you created in the Default Template dropdown
- Once you've selected it, it will save automatically
- Leave the wizard (go to a different page)
- Now re-open the wizard and click the gear icon at the top again, notice that the Default Template is still selected
- That's it
