add top alert producers and high packet loss to dashboard

[pspagnola]

two questions:
1) how do I add the report "top alert producers" to a dashboard in nagios XI?
2) How can I create queries that have the results on the dashboard like Top 5 hosts with highest packet loss?

Hello @pspagnola,

Dashboards only support dashlets, so adding a report to a dashboard is not available but this could be accomplished with the development of a custom dashlet.

is this image from the main website a report or a dashboard? I want that.

Hi,

Thanks for posting the screenshot. I was not able to find that in available dashlets on my test server. You can add that to a dashboard by going to Home > Graphs > Graph Explorer > Top Alert Producers.

Back to the other part of my original question:
Is there a way to put on a dashboard or into a report that shows Top N hosts with high latency or Top N hosts with high packet loss??

Hi @pspagnola,

That's currently not provided by the reports, but I can submit a feature request on your behalf if you'd like.

yes, please. I would like to see that as a new feature.

I imagine it would look just like the "top alert producers" except I would get to pick a different metric for my hosts.

Thanks.
