Nagios XI dashboards and views look misaligned or not fitting properly after upgraded to 2026R1.0.1

[Eshwar_K]

Hi Nagios Community,

We recently upgraded Nagios XI from version 5.8.6 to 2026R1.0.1, and we have observed that widgets created in the older version are no longer aligning correctly. We understand that the UI has changed in the newer release; however, we do not see any option under Manage Dashboards to realign or adjust them.

Could you please advise what steps or configuration changes are needed to make the dashboards fit properly on the page?

Your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Eshwar

Hi Eshwar,

As of Nagios XI 2024R1.3.4, dashboards, now known as Legacy Dashboards, have recieved many changes regarding dashlet scaling and alignment. Adjusting dashlet scale is now done by clicking and dragging from the bottom right corner of a dashlet, and we've added an 'Arrange Dashlets' feature that can be used by navigating to a dashboard, right clicking on the page, and selecting 'Arrange Dashlets'

Thank you for reaching out, and please let us know if you have any further questions.

Hi Zach,
Thank you for your response.

I have already tried the option which you have suggested but Dashboards are not aligning as expected. If you see the attached screenshot, the Hostgroup Status overview is stinge and text also not clear. So, kindly let me know any other options we need to check.

Hi Eshwar,

I can confirm that the behavior you are observing is the intended behavior for Legacy Dashboards in Nagios XI version 2026R1.0.1. Up to date documentation on the new behavior of existing dashboards can be found here:

Please let us know if you have any feedback or further questions regarding dashboards or anything else in Nagios XI!
