Today we have another type of announcement for you. In the last days we invested some work to enhance the way feature request and ideas concerning NagVis are handled. The enhancement omes basically as extension of this website. It is called Featuritis.

Using Featuritis you can post your ideas and feature request. After publishing your idea all users and developers can discuss about your idea, vote the idea up to bring more attention to the feature. We as developers have the chance to get more and better feedback.

You have the option to register your personal nagvis.org account to work with it in Featurits, but you might also add feature requests and comments as anonymous user.

We have not yet integrated NagVis exchange into the new nagvis.org account system but it might happen in the near future. So you will need a separate account for each of the two sites for the moment.

We are proud to announce the new stable release of NagVis: NagVis 1.6. The new release improves the usability and performance of Nag
Vis. It introduces a lot of interesting features compared to the last stable release 1.5.10.

The most important changes are:

The WUI has been removed and merged into the regular frontend. You can now lock/unlock specific or all map objects to edit them. The
maps can now be edited in place.

We added a sidebar which can be opened clicking on the "Open" button in the header menu. It should make browsing a long list of maps easier. To make it easier to browse in the sidebar we added the map option "parent_map" which can be used to define parent/child relations between maps.

The colors and ranges of weathermap lines can now be customized per object. The middle of line objects with two parts can be repositioned. This makes it possible for lines go round corners.

The header menu can now be hidden to safe space on the display. The state of the header menu is stored for each user.

Under the hood NagVis 1.6 introduces the object_id attribute which is meant to identify an object on a map. It is automatically added
to each object if none is configured.

The nagvis main configuration can be split in parts using the conf.d directory. This makes configuration management in environment
s like OMD easier.

The hosts in the automaps have now a context link "make root" to browse the parent tree.

NagVis 1.6 comes with a new backend for NagiosBP which makes it possible to show up NagiosB
P aggregations as servicegroups in NagVis.

These are only the most important changes. You can find a detailed technical view on the feature changes and bug fixes in the NagVis change logs linked from the download page.

You can download NagVis 1.6 via the download-page.

Have fun using NagVis 1.6 and please report any problems and bugs.

Today we release the fourth release candidate of NagVis 1.6. We made some unplanned improvements in this release. For example the editing controls have been removed. The object is editing mode can now be edited using the context menu. We fixed some minor problems which should affect only some installations.
