Overview

The Nodes view is the standard opCharts Homepage view, unless the user account has been assigned a default Dashboard. The Nodes view may also be accessed by selecting Views -> Nodes from the opCharts menu bar.

Table View

The Table view presents each Node in a structured table format.

You can export this tables information to a CSV format. To do this, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the icon displayed in the screen shot below:

It is possible to modify the fields to be exported by changing the configuration option (conf/opCommon.nmis):

  • opcharts_node_list_exporttocsv: This option accepts different values for opCharts 3 and opCharts 4.
