While the main view/non-green view may seem outdated, it's the very
simplicity of it that is attractive. Compare to Nagios or Hyperic or
pretty much any other solution...you have a simple, at a glance view of
exactly where your problems are. Admittedly, it does lose a bit when you
have hundreds (thousands) of machines but it is still one of the primary
comparisons I use for other vendors that come in and want to replace Xymon.
That is one of the issues currently. We have thousands of hosts currently
and things can spiral quite quickly.
That said, I find the mind map view that you've chosen to be interesting.
It could also be a heat map view like http://finviz.com/map.ashx (I
kinda prefer this due to it's simplicity).
We have our "heatmap" version coming in Stage 2 (Zoomable Pack Extension on
the Roadmap). While we have it working in production, it does need to be
polished up a bit. The managers seem to love it since you can quickly spot
issues and drill down directly to the root cause.
Quite useful feedback, thanks!
