The statusmap.cgi does not re-draw the map in regards to screen coordinates when hiding groups. Your maps will remain "cluttered" even though you can filter what's even displayed. This is a known limitation of the statusmap.cgi map.
I've had (very minor) success is setting the scale larger. ############## fittipaldi cgi # diff statusmap.c statusmap.c-ORIG 72,73c72,73 < #define DEFAULT_NODE_VSPACING 45 < #define DEFAULT_NODE_HSPACING 85 --- > #define DEFAULT_NODE_VSPACING 15 > #define DEFAULT_NODE_HSPACING 45 84c84 < #define CIRCULAR_DRAWING_RADIUS 200 --- > #define CIRCULAR_DRAWING_RADIUS 100 1745c1745 < /*else if(host_services_ratio>=1.5) --- > else if(host_services_ratio>=1.5) 1750c1750 < outer_radius=DEFAULT_NODE_WIDTH*0.4;*/ --- > outer_radius=DEFAULT_NODE_WIDTH*0.4; 1752,1754c1752 < /*outer_radius=DEFAULT_NODE_WIDTH*0.2;*/ < /* MODIFIED BY CMOODY - 11.29.05 */ < outer_radius=DEFAULT_NODE_WIDTH; --- > outer_radius=DEFAULT_NODE_WIDTH*0.2; 2690c2688 < int parent_drawing_width=1; --- > int parent_drawing_width=0; ############## I have yet to find a perfect solution. I'm in a situation where I have several thousand "nodes" to watch. My interim solution has been to create multiple nagios instances with apache vhosts. This way I can group systems logically and represent them in a cleaner fashion. I have 0.1-rev code available via nagios-exchange to build the different vhosts. (I'm hoping to have a newer build available soon (with support for 2.x train of Nagios).) Were my C skillz better, I'd try to take on a building a more adaptive drawing algo...
