Nagios Support Forum

After much learning I've adjusted some code that allows for time selection in the perfgraphs sidebar.

It's still a little buggy, some things I would like to resolve:

• After viewing a specific time period, the select boxes no longer update when I click the predefined time selections
  Prettier Year / Month / Day selector, preferably a drop down calendar
  There is no code that determines if the start date is before the end date and vice versa

Here's a screenshot of it in action: I'm also curious if it possible to make this into a component that could be added to Nagios XI.

Thoughts / comments / suggestions ???


The attached file is the customised index.php from /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/perfgraphs

Very cool!

I'll put this on my TODO list and take a look at the code. Adding a sleeker calendar and the fixes you mentioned shouldn't be too hard. I think having it as an installable component is a great idea as well. Thanks for the work on this!

Actually, in the latest code this is already possible. It will be included in the 2009R1.4 release shortly.

The end date can include hours, minutes seconds like so:

2011-01-01 13:14:23

The start date/time is automatically calculated based on 1) the end date and 2) the time selection (4 hour, 24 hour, etc)

Cheers.

I'll download the latest code on a test VM and check it out.

Thank you and keep us up to date

I've had a play with the latest code and to be honest it doesn't give me the functionality I am after.

While the latest code allows me to specify the end date and time, I am still locked in to the pre-defined time selections available to me.

Being able to dial into a specific time period is what I am acheiving with the code I have supplied.

Some examples of why:

• Reporting issues to service providers, I want to show them a time period less than four hours
  I make a change to a server that will affect it's performance. One week later I want to view the past two weeks so I can compare the week before the change and the week after the change

I do like the predetermined time selections already available as they offer access to quick graphs but there are many times when I need to be able to select the time period I am after.

Perhaps being able to add this functionality as a component allows for customisations that suit different needs.

I'll keep it on my TODO list to turn what you have into a component. I'm guessing you won't be the only user who would prefer more advanced options.

Cool bananas.

Let me know if there is anything you need me to do.

Thanks again
