Description

The Status widget provides an overview of a host, a cluster or a check. 

It will contain:

  • The name of the element
  • The Status and its Context (see Monitoring logic for more details)
  • Notifications sent (in case an element becomes WARNING or CRITICAL)
    • Notifications can be configured in Shinken Administration UI (see Notifications and Notifications Way chapters)
    • If some notification has been sent for this element, an envelope will be displayed with the number of notifications on the right.


  • The widget also shows the number of checks sorted by status:

Red

Critical checks

Orange

Warning checks

Grey

Unknown checks

Green

Ok checks

Usage

If the status refers to an element, a click on the widget will open the Detailed View Panel providing details on the element (see the Host Detail View chapter).

  • For a host, clicking on one of the checks summary box, will directly open the Detail panel on the tab checks panel.
  • The list of checks will be filtered to only display checks matching this status.
  • To get the full list of checks, simply remove the filter ( See Checks Tab chapter).
