Quickly filter elements

On the top of the list, fields will allow you to filter this list:

There are 2 kinds of filters:

Text filter (like Host or Check columns).

    • Type some letters (from 1 to as many as you want)
    • Press enter
    • The filtered list will display the lines containing your letters
    • To remove the filter, select the typed text, delete it and press enter

  

List of values (like Priority or Status columns):

    • Click in the field
    • The list will display possible values
    • Select one of them
    • The filtered list will display the lines matching the selected value

 

Select displayed data column

A click on the gearing button    will open the following pop-up.

You can choose which column to display:

  • Status:
    • UP : no problem on an host
    • OK : no problem on an service
    • Warning : The service is running but in degraded mode
    • DOWN : the host is not running
    • Critical : the element is not running
    • UNKNOWN : no information is available on the element.
    • FLAPPING : the element state is changing (by default, checks are made every five minutes, so its means that the X last checks results were different).
    • DOWNTIME : The element has been flagged by a Shinken user as “under maintenance”.
    • ACKNOWLEDGED : The problem has been taken into account by a Shinken user.
  • Duration : Since when the element is in this state
  • Output : The output string provided by the last plugin checking the element.
  • State type
    • HARD : the status is validated
    • SOFT : the status is not sure. In this type, a check has been done but the result is not 100% sure so the engine will send a new check attempt to be sure of the status.
  • Last Check : When did the previous check occur.
  • Attempts : Attemps column will be useful only if the state type of the element is SOFT. It indicates how many checks can be possibly done before the State type becomes HARD.
  • Realm : The realm to which the element belongs. Realms can be geographical or logical organization.
  • Priority (Bussines impact) : The importance of the element defined in the Shinken Enterprise configuration is reprensented by star (from 0 to 5). This view is sorted by business priority importance.

 

Refresh the list

If you don't make any action, the page will be refreshed every minutes

If you click “somewhere” using a button or any element of the interface, this refresh will occurs 60 seconds after the last action.
