"Slideshow" multiple dashboards on a single screen?

[ssax]

Willem, do you think that should be a per user setting to expand the views by default?

Woops, sorry, saw it in your bug report.

I could probably whip something up if it's something that currently causes you headaches?

Well we are using autoit to move the mouse to the blue expand icon and click it, but somehow sometimes it misses the ball. (or the button)
And yes we would only need this feature for one user actually. It's a user specially made to run these infoscreens with views to dashboardsa and nagVis maps.

I'm REALLY REALLY looking forward to the NagVis upgrade with integrated authentication, cause that is also one of our major and oldest headaches. (it actually was one of my earlier feature requests http://tracker.nagios.com/view.php?id=423) And without this 'integrated authentication we will still need AutoIt https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/ I fear.

The ultimate goal would be some way to boot a terminal every day automatically which spawns a web browser such as Firefox or Chrome which automatically logs in and starts the view rotation all without user interaction (and without the need to enter the NagVis password). I achieved this with AutoIt, but 1/4 days it seems to fail.

*** Note: This will get reverted if you upgrade and will need to be reimplemented.
*** Make sure that you have known-good backups/vm snapshots before making any modifications

Unzip the attached file, edit it and replace "nagiosadmin" with whatever username (case sensitive) that you want.

pageparts.inc.php.zip

Replace this file with that edited file:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/pageparts.inc.php

Let me know if that works for you.

[edward.bosco]

Yes.

Most appreciate people's thoughts on how to approach this.

Did this solution work for you?

Sean, Clint,

I was able to test the patched pageparts.inc.php and this works perfectly! The Views page get expanded as expected (after entering the NagVIs password) It would be super cool if this patch would be implemented into new releases. i'm sure this is a feature that would be loved by other users too!

Grtz and tx!

Willem

edward.bosco, let us know if the posted above solution works for you. Is it OK if we lock this topic and mark it as resolved?
