While this may be redundant from hostgroups directives, it's the only one honored in statusmap.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For example for a bunch of web servers, create a "Web Server" host with check_dummy and no hostgroup and no notifications. Make it the parent of all your web server branches. Same can be done with other host groupings. This has the advantage that the farther out from center, the more space each host gets, so they arent overlapping.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I find that changing the default view to bubble view is the best way to display many hosts.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Also, we have a noc with a large projector screen for everyone and high resolution, so I edited the cgi and recompiled to outout a larger image size. (There's config options for image size right at the top of the .c file) While you're in there, you can also adjust the amount of padding space required to display the hostname. I forget, but I think I also adjusted the bubble size.</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV class=OutlookMessageHeader dir=ltr align=left>-----Original Message----- From: HENSHAW Brad [mailto:Brad.Henshaw@qbuild.qld.gov.au] Sent: Thursday, September 02, 2004 12:15 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Useful status map </DIV> Does anyone have a strategy or scripts to make the statusmap usable for a largeish (200+) number of hosts? As I don't have a lot of time I'm loathe to hack statusmap.cgi but might do so if I have to. There is something to be said for having a pretty map which fits on screen to show the less technically inclined in an attempt to justify hours ssh'd into my nagios box!
