small alternative frontend

[Andy Shellam (Mailing Lists)]

Hi Colby,

That I don't know.  I've only got 6 hosts (39 services) configured on my 
system at the moment, but I'm up for testers.
It first queries the number of hosts (known as 'Servers' in NLG), then 
queries the services (known as 'Metrics' in NLG) when you expand a host 
(through the use of Ajax.)

I wouldn't think 300 devices would cause too much of a slow-down - I can 
optimise the metrics lookup to make it a bit faster using regular 
expressions, but overall the speed would mainly depend on the spec of 
both your Nagios server (that would run the poller) and the 
public-facing server (that would run the poller client) and the link 
between the two.  NLG does the lookup on each hit, so it would also 
depend how busy you're NLG site is (for this I'm also planning on using 
a cache file to speed things up a bit.)

If you like, I could test it and see (as I have geographically-separate 
Nagios and NLG servers.)  Just send me your latest status.dat file to my 
private address (remove "-lists" off my e-mail address) and I'll run it 
and see.

Thanks,

Andy.
