NOC Head-Up Display?
I’ve been playing with Multisite but I’m not finding a replaceable solution for our head-up display. Am I missing something?
We are using Nagios and monitoring about 4000 services for our server-level monitoring. We use the status.cgi program to create the list of actionable items for the engineers to work. Important for us are things like screen real-estate (no headers, one-line per issue), only displaying current issues (criticals, hard down, not in downtime, not disabled, not acknowledged, etc.) and sorting (oldest at top of screen).
This is our current url to get a nice head-up display:
http://<server>/nagios/cgi-bin/status.cgi?host=all&hoststatustypes=14&servicestatustypes=16&hostprops=8202&serviceprops=270346&sorttype=1&sortoption=6&noheader
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you, James
Next steps – NOC Head-Up Display
Hey MK — Livestatus is brilliant!
I’ve been playing with Multisite but I’m not finding a replaceable solution for our head-up display. Am I missing something?
I found I was missing the power in the editing of the Views. I didn’t realize that the labels in the ‘Edit view’ were really tabs. They looked more like future features. So, you can click on Properties, Filters, Sorting, Group by, Columns and Layout. That makes a world of difference.
I haven’t found any documentation for the Multisite views, so if I’m just missing it, can somebody please point me? I’ve combed through the website and the install package, but not seeing it.
Here’s my current question that I’m hoping is simple:
How do I set up a view that is a composite of several views? I have multiple Nagios servers and I set up views for each one. Each Nagios server is monitoring quite different equipment, so the views are quite different. However, I’d like to see these views aggregated on the NOC Head-Up Display. How can I do that (aside from writing my own script with different Livestatus queries — which I can do, but I would like to stay within the Multisite framework if at all possible).
Thanks, James

Hi James,
there is only few documentation about views - I must admit.
A combined view is currently not directly supported by Multisite -
but you could try to create an HTML frame set for that purpose.
future versions will add HTML-variables for disabling headings
and buttons. This will ease embedding multisite views into
other pages.
