The default automap is fairly unusable once you hit a non-trivial number
of hosts. We have 386 on ours, and nobody bothers. It doesn't help if
you want to map certain services instead of hosts either.

If you're keen on a map, you need to look at something like nagvis to do
that. We have a nice map of the country/world showing connections to
various overseas bureaus. Not too useful from a support point of view
(most of it is green for most of the time), but is does give management
something nice to look at.

	The map is built automatically based on the parent/child
relationship you have set in your host definitions.  

	 

	For instance if you make Switch1 the parent of Server1 and
switch1 parent is local host you will have a map of

	 

	Server1->Switch1=>Localhost

	 

	This also means if switch1 goes down nagios knows server1 will
be unreachable - helps reduce alerts.

	I have a question that I hope someone give me some guidance on.
How do I view the map? What I try it still looks all jumbled together.

	 

	Thanks,
