Omit summaries from host details

Hello,

This url gives an overview of a host and it's services:
https://nagiosserver/nagiosxi/includes/ ... rv2012test

I'm using that to show the Nagios host in a powershell xaml application UMF. The Host status summary and service status summary is rather useless however, as the page only shows one host. is it possible to generate an url which shows a host and it's services without the host status summary and service status summary as this is taking a lot of space without giving any useful information.
Or maybe a way to only show the listview?

Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a way of excluding the host/service status summary as of now.

Thanks Ludmill, I'd like to make a feature request for this, but I'm not sure how to describe it, as I'm not sure what is possible and what not. Any suggestions? Would I better say 'omit the summary dashlets' or 'popout url /dashlet to the host / service overview'?

Willem - request a Service Status dashlet that can be limited to a specific host and not show the summaries and then link to me and I'll +1 it :)

Bandit, thanks for your suggestion. I'm not sure though if that is what I need. Can I create a popout URL from a dashlet? My XAML application uses an URL like this:

Code: Select all

https://nagiosserver/nagiosxi/includes/components/xicore/status.php?host=srv2012test
So in theory I would need a url like this:

Code: Select all

https://nagiosserver/nagiosxi/includes/components/xicore/status.php?host=srv2012test&type=short
where type=short would mean show no summary dashlets?

Or maybe it might be an idea to leave out the summaries all together if only one host is shown? But this would be a rather large change for everyone. Although I absolutely don't see any use for the summaries if only one host is shown...

Yeah, umm, you could do a popout of the dashboard you add the dashlet too, but that may just be more trouble for you as you'd need to create dashboards too.

But you do agree that two summary dashlets for 'one host' is a waste of space?

Fully agree an option needs added like you desire to hide them. In some cases I may have a host with 150+ services on it. I may add that hosts service summary to my dashboard so I'd need a way to see it and click the dashify button.

Hmm I see the point. I'll make a request for an &short addition to the url. This is low prio.

https://nagiosserver/nagiosxi/includes/ ... type=short

Made it low prio and tweak severity, so the Nagios devs can focus on the big issues.. :)

This thread can be clsoed for me.
