Graph Explorer behaviour

Post by WillemDH »

hello,

It seems likt the Graph Explorer is behaving diferently in Firefox and in Chrome. In Firefox I still have the old wau of searching hosts, in Chrome the new way.

Now I personally like the old way better, as I'm unable to find some hosts with the new way.

For example the host "gent.be" is unfindable. This is our main website of the city of Ghent. The problem is all our hosts are in a domain with gent.be in the name. As the new way will only list the top 50 matches...... (luckily I can use Firefox for now)

Any advice on this? What about the different behavious In Firefox and Chrome?

Grtz

Willem

Ahh, yes, this issue!

I have had the same issue in the past when at an old job when trying to find the host ae.com. Every server had ae.com in it so when quick searching I always had issues. I can imaging the new graph explorer behaves the same. Hopefully the devs can think of a fix for this.

As to why FF is behaving like old way, I wouldn't clear your cache anytime soon, lol.

Lol didn't think about the cache. I will not clear this cache, as I really need access to multistacked graph the coming week. We releases our new website https://gent.be and I need to generate custom graphs when needed.

Could you provide some screenshots for us to look over? Am I correct in understanding that newer graph explorer displays all tracks and older only displays a somewhat limited(~50) host\service view? Is this also something to do with the name matching in particular, like you would prefer an option to do exact matching opposed to regex\fuzzy matching?

It's the other way around. At home at the moment. I'll see if I can give you some screenshots later. The new version (R2.0) limits the results to 50. The older one was dropdown where I could choose any host. You are talking about regex. Does this mean I could regex "gent.be" some way in the field, so that I only receive the host gent.be and not all hosts with gent.be in it's name..?

I'm not sure if this currently works, my guess would be no, but I will ask! I was suggesting that it would be very useful in cases like yours though, where many things will be similarly named.

Thanks for the clarification, I think that's what I meant to describe, but clearly messed it up somewhere. :)

Hello,

Is there some solution for my issue. I need to add "gent.be" and "ocmwgent.be" to some multistacked graphs, but I'm unable atm, as it is not in the top 50 matches. "gent.be" and "ocmwgent.be" are two AD domains we use, so we have 100+ hostnames ending with them.
How can I select these host in the Graph Explorer?? These are kind of our most important website and I can't use it in the graph explorer..

Grtz

Let me clarify before I bug devs about this. :) When you click in the "Select Host" box in the "Graph Explorer->Multistacked Performance Graph tab, and you scroll with the mouse, the most you can see if 50 hosts? Is this correct?

Correct. I'm unable to select the hosts "gent.be" nor "ocmwgent.be".
