Introduction Copied
The NagVis automap included with OP5 Monitor is a great tool for visualizing the parent-child relationship of hosts in the monitoring system. This map is however configured to a static size and can get unreadable once you have added more hosts with multiple parents and children.
In this how-to we will look at configuring the Automap for large environments and replicate some of the functionality from the deprecated Hypermap feature.
The Automap in an environment with a lot of host relationships
Configuration Copied
Open the NagVis map called “Automap”, hover over the “Edit Map” menu and select “Map Options” button
Scroll down the options list to “render_mode” and set it to “unidirect2”.
This should render a cleaner and more spread out map with your hosts and their relationships
