Seperate scoreboard

Submitted by luuk on June 13, 2006 - 00:32.

I would like to make a request for a seperate scoreboard screen.

I monitor three servers using the scoreboard, and that makes the screen very full (and I wouldn't be able to add an other group).
I think it would be nice to have a (maybe fullscreen) option where you can put the graphs so you can monitor CPU/Memory etc.

I made the request for automated updates of graphs before in the forum, but mentioned it here again:
It would be nice if graphs can be regenerated every x minutes so a webserver can link to them and display as a 'real time' server load page for cutomers to see. (doesn't do much, but looks good!)

Hi,

thanks for the feedback. I have some questions regarding the scoreboard. You say you have three servers you're using in the scoreboard. Does this mean you have 3 seperate scoreboards in your situation room? Do you have all the categories enabled on the scoreboards? If possible could you give me a screenshot so i can tell what kind of setup you have, you can mask the names if that's necessary.

Regarding the automated graphs, this is slated for the next version of BixDesktop.

thanks,
chris

Hi Chris,

Been busy for a while, so didn't experiment for a while.

I have three scoreboards indeed. I only have three servers and they all perform a kind of different task, so I don't want to get average values (one is running CMS, one backup/DNS/Bixdata and one is going to be dropped)

Where do you want the screenshot?
I just got rid of all the names, but realized that I cannot attach the image to the post... I will sent it to feedback@bixdata.com.

I have this screen open on a test server on my desk, so I can keep an eye on things (not that it is needed as I will be notified anyway by email, but the bars indicate there is a good connection...)

An idea is maybe to use line graphs with different colours, so you can add different servers ior clusters/functions to a coloured line...

I think I read sometime a while ago that there was going to be an automatic update feature. Is this still on the map? I would like to keep testing the product (as it is not critical, and both parties learn from it), but it is the time it takes to isntall and verify that the right files are overwritten etc. that takes so much times.

Thanks,

Luuk
