XI 2024 | Highchart dashlet host_name link is broken

[snapier3]

The Highchart dashlet is creating malformed hyperlinks for the hosts in hostgroup.

Linux-Servers-->Localhost

The hyperlink URL is targeting hostgroup:host_name vs host:host_name
Hyperlink takes you to

Hi @snapier3,

Thank you for reporting this. It has been noted and will be addressed in future releases!

Thank you!

Here's the fix:
There is a snafu in the "make_highchart.php" file of the dashlet.

Replace the OG if/else with the following snippet

Code: Select all

        if ($link_labels){
            $base_url = '/nagiosxi/includes/components/xicore/status.php?show=';
            #CHART HOSTGROUP MEMBERS OR ALL HOSTS 
            if (grab_request_var("hostgroupChoiceSelect","default") !== "default"){
                #WE HAVE A HOSTGROUP APPEND IT TO THE URL
                $base_url .= 'hosts&hostgroup='.grab_request_var("hostgroupChoiceSelect");
                #HOSTGROUP LABELS 
                $output .= 
                'labels: {
                    formatter: function () {
                        return "<a href=' . $base_url . ' target=' . '_blank' . '>" + this.value + "</a>"
                    },
                    useHTML: true
                }';
            }
            else {
                #WE DO NOT HAVE A HOSTGROUP
                $base_url .= 'hostdetail&host=';
                #PER HOST HOST DETAIL LINK
                $output .= 
                'labels: {
                    formatter: function () {
                        return "<a href=' . $base_url . '" + this.value + " target=' . '_blank' . '>" + this.value + "</a>"
                    },
                    useHTML: true
                }';
            }
            #BACK TO YOUR REGULAR PROGRAM

This will correct the broken links with ones that work
