[Nagios-users] Mapping options.
Good Day to all, I finally got my NAGIOS setup pretty much the way that I like it. I am monitoring over 1000 devices, and I have 2 questions. 1. When displaying the host group summary is there a way to group /sub group the display. For example at the moment I have 6 different type of Microsoft 2003 Servers. I have a group for exchange, a group for AD, Ishare, etc. A group of Linux boxes, HPUX, SUN and AIX. What I would like to do is to have a summary that would only give me the servers by type, then a summary of the functions. Has anyone done this or some thing similar. 2. The Status Map, for the number of devices that I am monitoring when I click on the status map, I get a BLOB, icons on top of icons, etc. Any way to clean this up? Thanks for all your responses in advance. Luis - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.

Actually, I was thinking of hostgroups that have hostgroups.

Sounds like hostgroups{} to group by type of box and servicegroups{} to group by services provided. There is no 'nesting' capability. Am I mis-interpreting? 2.

Change the layout type or use a custom cords per object (hostextinfo{}). With that many hosts though, you'll be challenged. Setting proper parent's relationships will help. We have about 3000 devices and there just isn't enough useful information in those maps to make that process worthwhile for us so I don't have a whole lot of experience with it. -- Marc - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
