MAPÉ - Monitoring App Page Extension

Howdy All,

We're working on a new (animated) front-end for Xymon which allows you to
have different views into your environment.
It's called "MAPÉ" (pronounced: MAP-EE).

The project was started because the default "Main View" / "Non-green" view
is quite outdated and such a great monitoring system needs a new face.
We would love to get some feedback on the current screenshots and the
roadmap (preferably on the mailing list).

Instead of subjecting everyone to screenshots, you can take a look at it:
http://mape.hack.co.za

The first milestone has been reached with a dynamic / animated tree and
will be up for download once we got a bit of discussion going around where
we should be headed.

Regards,
Cami

While the main view/non-green view may seem outdated, it's the very simplicity of it that is attractive.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 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).

That is one of the issues currently. We have thousands of hosts currently
and things can spiral quite quickly.

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!

We're planning for a release tomorrow as everything looks on track. Just to
give you an idea of the type of heatmap we're going for, I've uploaded some

Very nice, Cami.

 
I'm wondering about the roadmap...I see that step 1.4 will generate hovering info for red/yellow hosts...will there also be an option to click on the host, in question, to get directly to the alarms? For that matter, will there be an option to click on green hosts to go to their info?

 
Thanks again...this is a great looking tool.

Hello

The screenshot looks good.

I'm installing it :))

be carefull, there is some hard path in parse-config.pl

# Path to MAPE config
my %config = do "/usr/local/xymon/server/www/MAPE/etc/config.pl";

after fixing it, i run the parse-config.pl file but nothing happens and the URL /xymon/MAPE is black.

After checking the file parse-config.pl it appears it opens hosts.cfg.

But my config is using include parameters, so my real config (hosts definitions) are not here but in another file (hosts.d/customer/ALL).

It could be great to integrate this kind of setup.

Anyway, after setting directly the hosts.d/customer/ALL, now it generates the file data.php

[root at cmsbs-mn01-new:/opt/xymon/server/www/MAPE/data ] 84 du -sh data.php 
4.8M    data.php

But still black page when going to /xymon/MAPE/index.php

Nothing in httpd error log.

Any advice ?

cheers.

Another thing...the tree view appears to ignore NAME directives in the hosts.cfg file and displays the "actual" host rather than the value displayed in the "NAME" field.

We can add the option certainly to have it clickable and take it to a
(configurable) page.
As for green hosts, that is doable as well. Will add both of them to the

Hi, it seems that the tree view appears to ignore directoy directive 
in the hosts.cfg file and displays not the hostnames only the directive like


Company - Server - include/mail

and not

Hi Cami,

I have just installed MAPE on our Xymon installation and I have found that:


1)    I can see MAPE view using Safari ONLY (!). Using IE 9 or Firefox 17 I can see only black screen (?)

2)    I don't know what MAPE version I'm using but I have no hover info for red/yellow hosts. What about adding a version info inside the package?

3)    What about launching parse-config.pl using Xymon's tasks.cfg instead of using xymoncmd in crontab?

4)    In the tree view I can see hosts configured in my hosts.cfg but in some cases also the "group-only" tag text (see attached screen shot)

Another thing...the tree view appears to ignore NAME directives in the hosts.cfg file and displays the "actual" host rather than the value displayed in the "NAME" field.

Very nice, Cami.

I'm wondering about the roadmap...I see that step 1.4 will generate hovering info for red/yellow hosts...will there also be an option to click on the host, in question, to get directly to the alarms? For that matter, will there be an option to click on green hosts to go to their info?

Thanks again...this is a great looking tool.

Hi all,

Just a quick mail to say there is a download link posted with installation instructions listed on the
site ( http://mape.hack.co.za ). Feel free to provide comments or ideas either off or on list.

Cheers,

I've tested it with Safari / IE9 / FF and Chrome and all of them are
displaying correctly.
If you could mail me your data.php file that is being generated (off list
please) i'll dig through it.

Sure, that is a good idea.

I was doing that at the start but it wasn't working as i wanted it to.

Hi Cami,

I have just tested MAPE' last version (1.4) and I have found that:


1)    I can see MAPE view using Safari ONLY (!). Using IE 9 or Firefox 17 I can see only black screen (?)

Ø  Not solved. I can see MAPE view still using Safari only. I have sent you data.php file off list.


2)    I don't know what MAPE version I'm using but I have no hover info for red/yellow hosts. What about adding a version info inside the package?

Ø  Solved. Version tag is now present.


3)    In the tree view I can see hosts configured in my hosts.cfg but in some cases also the "group-only" tag text (see attached screen shot)

Next version will replace that automatically when parsing. For those
