ANNOUNCE: Nagios Looking Glass 1.0.0#PRE is here!

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

It's been a long road the last couple of weeks, but Nagios Looking Glass 
1.0.0#PRE is *now out* for public beta-testing.

The Important Bits
=== ========= ====

The official project site is: 
http://software.andyshellam.eu/looking-glass.phpx
Get the latest release at: 
http://software.andyshellam.eu/looking-glass/download.phpx
On Nagios Exchange: 
http://www.nagiosexchange.org/Frontends.37.0.html?&tx_netnagext_pi1[p_view]=767&tx_netnagext_pi1[page]=10%3A10

Available in Windows Zip, and Unix .tar.gz and .tar.bz2

More Detail
==== ======

In short, NLG is a Web-2.0 browser-based application that appears to 
work in Firefox, IE and Safari (in order of preference!)  It shows 
visitors the status of your network without giving everyone access to 
the Nagios CGIs, and starts at a "network summary" view with the options 
to drill down into servers (hosts) and their metrics (services).

New features over the 0.2.x beta-testing series include:

- Shared file synchronisation from client-to-server
- Data caching on the client-side prevents your Nagios server from being 
hit multiple times for the same information in a short time-span
- Re-designed template system
- Re-written stable, developer-friendly, future-proof code-base (hopefully!)
- Update notification of new releases

This public beta is a chance for everyone to test out NLG on your own 
networks, and highlight any critical flaws before 1.0.0 goes for final 
release.
There is a code-freeze on the 1.0 branch until the final release of 
1.0.0, so only critical fixes will be implemented.

Please see the 'Support' section on the above project website to see the 
best way to report bugs / request new features etc.

Thanks to everyone who's beta-tested already, and especially thanks to 
Mark Novak for the documentation.

Hope you enjoy!!

Andy.
