Colon (:) and Forward Slash (/) in Graph Labels

Post by jaimie.livingston »

What controls how : and / are replaced in performance graph labels?

Is there any way to enable display of : and / in performance graph labels?


Thanks,

Jaimie

Hello, @jaimie.livingston. We do use filtering of special characters in performance graph labels. It is related to the way Nagios stores values in RRD and XML files. Special characters will break performance graphs if not escaped. There is no way around it as of right now but I can submit a feature request on your behalf if you'd like. Please keep in mind that the decision to implement the enhancement is at the discretion of our development team.
As of May 25th, 2018, all communications with Nagios Enterprises and its employees are covered under our new Privacy Policy.
