upgrade to 2014R1.0

[snapon_admin]

Some things are working and some aren't it seems. See attached screen. Birdseye is there, new wizards appear there, Graph explorer graph backgrounds are white now, pretty much everything is as I'd expect it to be, except the back navbar and search window aren't there. I still have the old blue navbar and there doesn't appear to be any search window. Thoughts?

Looks like if I go to the home URL, nagios.snapon.com, I get the black bar. Once I click access nagios XI it goes back to the way it is in the previous screenshot.

Did you try clearing your browser cache or using another machine/browser?

[snapon_admin]

Yep and yep. Same result.

Go to Admin -> Manage System Config, and make sure the dropdown for XI User Interface Theme is "XI 2014"

Oh jeez, I didn't even know that was an option... That did it, thanks! One other weird thing, though. The network outages page shows all of our top level (parent) hosts in this list, but status says UP and severity is all over the place. Any ideas on that?

Interesting, you may or may not have found a bug here. It looks like the display output may have been changed a bit, the severity is puzzling. I'm going to throw in a bug report for this and we will see what the devs say.

Sounds good, thank you. And good work guys, I'm impressed with all of the new features and loving it so far! Now, I remember someone mentioning that applying config would go a lot faster for us after this upgrade. We have ~16,000 services and ~900 hosts in our environment so with 2012 our apply config would take about 2-3 minutes or so to complete. I don't recall who it was, but I remember someone suggesting that with 2014 this would take 10-30 seconds or something like that. Just wondering if I misunderstood or if that's changed since 'apply config' still takes the same amount of time after upgrading.

Edit: I'd like to note that overall server performance has improved massively since the upgrade. Our CPU load and CPU usage is way down from what it usually is. So the question about the apply config thing isn't by any means a complaint, just a question.

Quick note: We actually DO have a network outage atm. One of our routers is down, but the network outages page still looks the same as it does in my screenshot, it doesn't show the host as being down.

The write time should have decreased unless your current times are due to io. Most people with installations your size wait 5-10 minutes, so you may already be at the disk io cap.
