Shared Dashboards Functionality

As a test, can you add all of those services to a servicegroup, then go to Home -> Metrics and run the report for just that servicegroup? Make sure to open the Graphs tab, and see how long that loads. I am wondering if this is a graphs issue in general, or just the dashlets you have set up.

It sort of works. The Metrics drop down list is limited to just Disk, CPU, Memory, Load, and Swap so it won't display anything even if the service group is selected (metric doesn't exist in the service group). The graphs that do load are pretty quick, but they aren't sorted. Takes about 9 seconds to load.

Is your XI server using a proxy at all?

Are you accessing via IP or DNS name? Make sure that the DNS short name and FQDN is in your /etc/hosts on the 127.0.0.1 entry:

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 myhost myhost.domain.com

See if that speeds it up.

Thank you

Adding those entries into the hosts file seems to have helped a tiny bit. Seems using Chrome is a lot quicker than Firefox. It's also possible I'm accessing it while it's low peak, but it definitely feels faster (it's not freezing while loading, but still can take a few seconds to load all the graphs). Thanks for the suggestion!

Yeah, I've seen that help on a bunch of systems, especially ones using proxies or when the XI server is in a remote location from where you are accessing it from. Is that the case with yours?

[lytxnoc]

We're not using a proxy, but yeah, the server is in a remote location.

Has the improvement been permanent so far?

It's been consistent so far, yes.

I have a different question, but didn't know if I needed to create a new thread. I'm looking through the logs in reference to this link: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ptions.pdf, but I'm not seeing the same log as in the "CCM Log Management" page in XI. Is that log in the database and not a log file?

[ssax]

We like to keep issues separate so that we can keep them easy to reference and that so they don't drag on forever, so I would probably create a new thread for this if you need any big questions answered about it.

That being said, yes, those entries are stored in the mysql database.

Ok, thank you. In regards to the dashboards issue, we're working on upgrading Nagios XI to 5.2.9, but performance so far is sufficient
