opCharts 3.4.0

Status

...

• Newly created maps now use the nodes UUID, this allows maps to be created which will not degrade over time when nodes names are changed.

  • Maps created with opCharts-3.3.4 and below still use the nodes name as its ID, any changes or additions to these older maps will continue using the node name

• Nodes are now sortable by health

• Metrics and Health now shows the status metric

• Nodes view now uses case insensitive regex for searching.

• Changed the colours of the link between the nodes based in the input and output utilisation: 

  • < 30 = green, 

  • >=30 <75 = yellow, 

  • >=75 <100 = orange, 

  • >=100 = red

  • If the utilisation information is not available, the colour will be based in the status:

    • Green: up 

    • Red: Down

    • Grey: Unknown

  • This colour guide can be changed in the configuration, with the following configuration items:

    • 'opcharts_map_link_color_ok' => '#59cf59',

    • 'opcharts_map_link_color_normal' => '#ffd700',

    • 'opcharts_map_link_color_warn' => '#ffa500',

    • 'opcharts_map_link_color_error' => '#d9534f',

    • 'opcharts_map_link_color_up' => '#00FF00',

    • 'opcharts_map_link_color_down' => '#FF0000',

    • 'opcharts_map_link_color_uk' => '#999'

•  Updated opCharts interface plugin, This is now run after every node update.

•  New commands added to opcharts-cli to update the subnet dependencies: 

  • opcharts-cli.pl act=clear-all-node-depend: Clear all the nodes dependencies

  • opcharts-cli.pl act=update-subnet-dependancy: Update all the nodes subnet dependencies

  • New configuration items have been added:

  • 'opcharts_subnet_skip' => 'qr/(^127\.0\.0|^169.254\.|^192.168\.)/',

  • 'opcharts_router_names' => 'qr/^RTR/';

  • 'opcharts_router_skip' => 'qr/-router1$/'

• Added search box to interfaces in business service.

...

• Resources (charts/maps/business services/dashboards) implement edit locks so only one user can edit them at a time
• Faster chart rendering
• Zoom lock on all maps
• Search for monitored services list
• Node list and node info/summary tables now use table schema files instead in config
• Custom “node context” links for nodes which can be configured to point to anywhere user likes, button is shown in node list and node view page (requires NMIS 8.6.2)
• Node action buttons now shown in their own panel above node info panel

Fixes

• Custom JS
• Link to opFlowSP Agents/Interface from Node Interface view

...

• Node list table columns are now configurable, see the opCharts 3 Administration Guide for more

• Several new dataset options added to the chart creator: suffix in tooltip, decimal places in tooltip and dataset multiplier which allows adjusting the base of the value
