My solution works somewhat differently than the old "maint.pl" script:
The enable/disable functionality is no longer a separate webpage
listing all hosts; instead, this function is moved to each hosts'
"info" column page. I did this because I have about 2000 hosts, so the
list of all hosts was practically unusable in my setup. You can see
how it looks on the demo site http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/ - just pick
one of the "info" buttons.
Glad to see this feature! I checked it out and have some comments about what *I'd* like to see, but this may not be what everyone else wants. I'll say it anyway. ;)
1. I still like having the ability to disable many hosts at once from the same page, using the pull down menu in the tool bar instead of teh info column.
2. I found it confusing to have both the "disable now" and "schedule disable" buttons right next to each other, and the cause field over the schedule disable.
I want to log a cause for every disable/enable, scheduled or immediate. I'd love to have a form that has separate fields for the comment and a name, so I can some what enforce my local policy of "put your name in the comment field so we know who's doing what on the systems".
Something like this:
Select enable/disable from teh tool bar, go to the
Click on the host(s) & tests you want disabled. Since you have tons of systems and don't want to scroll through all of them, maybe you could have 2 columns, one for the group and the other for the systems in that group.
Be forced to enter both a comment and a user name to track who/what is going on.
Select from a pull down menu if you want this immediately or in the future. if the future is selected, a new set of menus appears that allows you to schedule the start/stop times.
Push an "apply" button and everything goes into effect.
Thats my two cents. Flame away.
