Several map views of Nagios

[Chris Moody]

The statusmap.cgi does not re-draw the map in regards to screen 
coordinates when hiding groups.  Your maps will remain "cluttered" even 
though you can filter what's even displayed.  This is a known limitation 
of the statusmap.cgi map.

I've had (very minor) success is setting the scale larger.

I have yet to find a perfect solution.  I'm in a situation where I have 
several thousand "nodes" to watch.

My interim solution has been to create multiple nagios instances with 
apache vhosts.  This way I can group systems logically and represent 
them in a cleaner fashion.  I have 0.1-rev code available via 
nagios-exchange to build the different vhosts. (I'm hoping to have a 
newer build available soon (with support for 2.x train of Nagios).)

Were my C skillz better, I'd try to take on a building a more adaptive 
drawing algo...

Cheers,
-Chris
