Enhancements

Dashboards GA

  • Improvements made on global Dashboards behavior

    • When sharing a dashboard, only contacts and contact groups that have access to the dashboard are displayed.
    • Optimized the rendering of widgets.
    • Optimized legend and thickened curves on graphs.
    • Moved the parameter used for hiding widgets' descriptions.
    • Updated the dashboard global refresh icon.
    • Widgets can now be edited quickly and easily by using an "Edit widget" shortcut that opens widget edition mode.
    • Made the dashboard library's "view as list" the default view.
    • Reorganized rich text options for widget descriptions.

  • Improvements made to specific widgets.

    • [MAP widget] Added an information message displayed when editing the widget.
    • [Metrics Graph widget] Added a warning message indicating that thresholds have been hidden when selecting two different metric units.

  • [Packaging] Added symbolic link from /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins to /usr/lib/nagios/plugins.
