dashboards and views

[MichielvM]

General picture:
1 fusion server which manages 30 Xi servers administered by 20+ system administrators divided over 2 teams.
So that's 15 Xi's per administrator team

Both teams want a Fusion dashboard to display an overview of all services in their own Xi Servers in Warning and/or Critical state.
(OK state is not wanted for it clutters the viewing experience)
I have been tinkering with creating servicegroups and add that to a views that works.
But I cannot produce this view in a dashboard.

How do I go about this, or is this a possible feature request?

Can't you add a new dahsborad, and then add the "Unhandled Service Problems" dashlet to it? The dashlet would show all of unhandled service problems. It would not show any services in OK state.

I'm not sure what you mean with "unhandled service problems" dashlet. I have none by that name.
Did you mean "service status summary?"
That doesn't cut it for my boys. Too little and the color scheme is simply awful. The info will be displayed on a large screen to react upon using their own desktops.

It boils down to the information shown in Xi "Operations screen" for muliple Xi servers (i.e. Customers)

I've managed a workaround by copying Operations screen popout URL's and adding them to Fusion Views, set up a high rotation interval and there you go.
That raised another question; How to replace the Nagios Logo in that screen with a customer logo.
Useful for my adminstrators to see rightaway which customer they're looking at.
I found a nagios.png in /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/includes/components/opscreen/images
And replaced it. Bingo!

I will have them have a look at my 'solution' tomorrow.
Will keep you posted.

That logo will probably be used elsewhere, just a warning.

Let us know how this works out for you.

[MichielvM]

Could be. The location ~/opscreen/images makes me wanna think it's only used for that.
Be that as it may, from day one we wanted to 'personalize' the Xi servers per customer. This is a step forward.
We've also used the customer logo component to that effect.
There's one thing left and that's the way all webbrowsers display the name in tabs. I'd like to customize that too. Haven't found that out yet.

I did some looking around when I saw this, I came up with a post:

http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... =16&t=6771

Now, you may be able to mask this in some way, I believe I have seen it changed when remoted into customer's system's. I'll have to do some more looking.

I've been digging around as well, but can't find any solutions other than locally installed plugins for my browser.
Don't like that very much. Means I have to ask my staff to add plugins..

This is not a big issue on my part, but a mere appreciated wannahave. I thought it might be a relatively easy tweak.

Right, there is no quick workaround to this that you can do from the web interface with a few clicks. It would have to be done in the php files, and some fiddling with apache.
