Deprecated views will be retired next major version
Userlevel 4
Badge +16

It had been announced a long time ago that the plan was to remove the legacy host and services views as those are now replaced with Resource Status. This was visible both in the documentation as well as in the product.
 

 

 

 

Up until now, those views have still been shipped and it has been possible to enable them through Administration menus.

We’ve gathered feedback from those of you who still use them as you find that Resource Status breaks your usual workflows or does not fit with your user’s skills.
 

Even though Centreon 23.10 isn't available just yet (coming next week), when it does, you'll find several enhancements in Resource Status. We feel confident that you will be able to adopt it and have enough time to adjust.

 

As of the next major version (in 2024) we will remove the following menus/views entirely from the Centreon user interface:

  • Monitoring > Status Details > Services
  • Monitoring > Status Details > Services > Details
  • Monitoring > Status Details > Hosts
  • Monitoring > Status Details > Hosts > Details
  • Monitoring > Status Details > Services Grid
  • Monitoring > Status Details > Services by Hostgroup
  • Monitoring > Status Details > Services by Servicegroup
  • Monitoring > Status Details > Hostgroups Summary

 

Centreon 23.10 adds the following capabilities:

  • Ability to switch view mode between All resources (as it was up until 23.04), Host View (where hosts are listed and can be expanded to view their related services), Service View (where services only are listed)
  • Revised search experience 


 

Resource Status with view mode All

 

Resource Status with view By Host

 

Resource Status with view By Service

 

New Resource Status filtering (Basic mode)

 

New Resource Status filtering (Advanced mode)

 

We will be looking for your feedback on these changes and how the transition is going. We still have one major release where additional adjustments can be made if needed. for example, we are already planning to add quick action buttons to the panel. Here is how it could look:

Bonjour,
IL faut absolument nous donner la possibilité de redimensionner les colonnes car pour le moment ça reste difficilement lisible.
Rien à voir mais un petit PLUS serait d’avoir un bouton permettant de renvoyer une notification à un groupe/contact..

Merci et bonne journee

Hello,

 

is it planned to make the Host and Service Filter by GUI accessible directly without opening a Popup?

Some customers and Help Desks using these Filters heavily (several times a hour, every day) and would have extra effort to display/modify the filter every time again. It is also not as easy to see at a glance what is filtered as in the old View.

Additionally some customers use own/custom Links on the Host and Service Detail page, it was possible with own Centreon Modules with includes/hooks. Is it planned to allow custom Links/Buttons on the Ressource Status page, or would it be necessary to modify the WebUI by ourself?

 

Thanks and Regards,

Henry

Hello Centreon,

We are very happy with the new simplified search menu shown here. Thanks

But for us it is imperative that we can search again in the "Extended status information" (long_ouptut). It's a disaster to have lost this functionality between 22.04 and 23.04.

if you delete the deprecated pages in version 24 without give us back the search in the "Extended status information" (long_ouptut), our Centreon business platform is dead.

please give us back the search in the "Extended status information".

Thanks you very much.
