Nagios Support Forum

Hi All,

I have been playing with Nagios on my network for the last couple of days and am really intrigued by the map feature that is included within it which lets me know which hosts are down etc.

I am having one issue with it tho, when I use the user defined coo-ords option the lines between my devices does not exist anymore. I was hoping to try and create this map the same as my network diagram which it currently looks correct, but doesn't connect the devices. I have included an image to demonstrate.

Thanks,

How close are these hosts from each-other? It's hard to say just by looking at the image. Check what you have in the host definitions:
BTW, did you try viewing it in a different browser? ...just in case

Thanks for the response.

Top left is 150,20 and it needs to connect 180,340 that is just an example. I haven't told it to connect to these because I am not sure on how to do it.

Also I did try another browser

What version of Nagios Core are you using?
I may be wrong, but it seems to me this may be bug with ver. 3.4.3. I was able to recreate the issue on my 3.4.3 test box. On the other hand, I didn't have any problems with viewing lines in 3.4.1.

It is version 3.4.4. I am sure that the software can do this with ease (more a me issue then the software). The lines do appear in any of the other options but they all point to the Nagios Process which creates a huge mess and doesn't depict a very good network map.

I have attached an example of what it does with circular

Again, thank you heaps for your help it is much appreciated.

I feel like a little bit of an idiot. Sorry to waste your time lmiltchev but I just figured it out after reading through some more documentation. For some reason I kept skimming over the parent attribute under the host definition.

Again, thankyou for assisting me.

I'm glad your problem is resolved!
