Nagios, 2nd Edition

18.2 Creating NagVis Maps

The NagVis configuration interface is accessed through the URL http://nagiosserver/nagios/wui/index.php. Here you replace nagiosserver with your own Nagios host name (Figure 18-3 shows the start page).

It is operated through a menu that opens when you click the right mouse button. For browsers that overlay the NagVis menu with their own menu, a second click with the right mouse button will cause the browser menu to disappear.

If you don't have a suitable background graphic available in PNG format, you can create a new, empty background image via the menu item Manage | Backgrounds, as shown in Figure 18-4. In this example, a gray image of size 800x600 pixels is created.
