[Nagios-users] Mapping options.

2008-01-18 Thread Luis Fernando Lacayo
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

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. 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.

 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.

Luis,

It is currently not possible to set up a hierarchy in this way purely  
within Nagios.  If you need this sort of functionality you have to use  
3rd party software such as Opsview (http';//www.opsview.org/)

Yes, I know. That's why I said there was no nesting capability and
offered alternatives that I know of.
