opCharts 4.0.6 Beta

Released July 19th, 2019
opCharts 4.0.6 requires NMIS 9.0.4

Metrics and Health component has been rewritten to support Primary and Poller, this is done over the whole active nodes collection on the current server.
- When you have nodes from different pollers Gauges are used to shows the current groups Reachability
- If you want to change which metric the gauge can display copy omk/lib/json/opCharts/components.d/nmis_network_health.json into omk/conf/components.d
  - change "gaugeDataSource" to one of the desired values
    - avg_available or avg_16_available
    - avg_health or avg_16_health
    - avg_reachable or avg_16_reachable
    - metric or metric_16
    - status
  - Change "gaugeTitle" to a desired title
- In poller mode where only the current polled nodes are on the server Metrics and Health will show the current NMIS Network Health chart
Added "websocket_proxy_port" to opCommon, this can be used to override which port the web client should connect its web-socket to.
Node searching has been rewritten, now much faster.
- You can search over the nodes
  - Name
  - Host
  - Group
Fixed issue where the Node list could not be exported to csv. Use opcharts_node_list_exporttocsv to configure which fields to export
Fixed issue where some pages would not resize correctly when hiding the sidebar

Added View Nodes on poller, more can be found Here

opCharts 4.0.5 Beta

Released July 5th, 2019
opCharts 4.0.5 requires NMIS 9.0.3

Fixed issue where a node name is numeric fails to display in a geo map
When you are shipping poller logs to the Primary these can be displayed for the node my changing the config option 'opcharts_event_log_type' => 'poller_event_log'
- These logs are expected to be in the default NMIS9 directory for logs <nmis_logs>/poller_event.log
- NOTE: refer to Config.nmis for your setting of <nmis_logs>, it defaults to /usr/local/nmis9/logs/
If you wish to hide the event log widget for nodes you can set 'opcharts_gui_node_eventlog_display' => 'false'
Fixed issue where 'auth_default_groups' => 'all' would not allow access to 'all' group
- Set auth_default_groups & auth_default_privilege in opCommon to use this feature.
Monitored services: This view will show monitored services from the poller nodes.
Bug fix to show IP address and mask on inventory and interface list.
Node panels now correctly show Health Kpi and Response Time
In an MSP environment and wish to hide popup notification errors to users bar users with administrator privileged use 'omk_gui_show_user_errors' => 'false'

opCharts 4.0.4 Beta

Released June 25th, 2019
opCharts 4.0.4 requires NMIS 9.0.2

Retry requests after error trying to get rrd graphs from poller nodes. New parameters on the configuration file were added:

'opCharts_num_retry' => 3, (By default 3 times)
'opCharts_connection_delay' => 5 (By default 5 seconds waiting between retries)

Subnets are now cached in the background, this is done by a NMIS9 plugin on install/upgrade, or can be found under install as SubnetExport.pm
- opcharts_subnet_cache_expire_time is how long they will live for
- opcharts_subnet_cache_update_time is the minimum period the cache will run, as it happens after NMIS updates this stops the cache being run too frequently which can cause high load.
Subnet cache can be manually run with the opCharts CLI, with act=import-subnets
- Using force=true will ignore opcharts_subnet_cache_update_time
Fixes in timing for how charts request data form the sever
