Description

The aim of the widget status is to provide an overview of a host, a cluster or a check. Il will contain:

The name of the element The Status and its Context (see Monitoring logic for more details) Notifications sent: Notifications can be configured in Shinken Administration UI (see Notifications and Notification Way chapters) in case an element becomes WARNING or CRITICAL. So if notification has been sent for this element, an envelope will be displayed with the number of notification on the right.
Only for hosts, it displays also the number of checks, sorted per status. Red Critical checks Orange Warning checks Grey Unknown checks Green Ok checks

• If the status refers to an element, a click in 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 check 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).

Configuration

Open the configuration box. Type the host or cluster name in the edit field under Host. The total number of host and cluster will be displayed near host (119 in our exemple). It will automatically show the list of available hosts. If you type characters, the list will be automatically filtered. As soon as you have typed 1 letter, a matching list of checks will be displayed below. Once your element is selected, if you want to monitor a specific check, you just have to type check name inside this second box. When configured, press the OK button.
