browsable archives and (sub)domains in hostnames
Hi, Observium
1) I wonder: is there a searchable version of the mailing list archives somewhere?
2) I need some hint where I can change the behaviour of observium to cut avay domains after the first dot - we used subdomains to segment our hardware so now all devices are called the same on the overview screen. (alarms / events)
Example: switch1.site1.country1 switch1.site2.country1 switch1.site1.country2 and so on.. (I know it's boring but we ran out of elven names at one point...) ;)
on the overview page they would all be called "switch1" when I go to "devices" everything is just fine
can this be changed somewhere? could not find in config.php and don't dare editing the other files
thanks!
Andreas

It's not changeable as config option, but located here: /opt/observium/includes/common.php
Search for line 149: function shorthost($hostname, $len=12)
And change 12 to 30, or something that fit's your needs...
THIS IS A QUICK HACK, COULD BREAK SVN, NO SUPPORT.
thanks so much!
works

Make it a config option and submit it as a patch!

Andreas,
Adam will shoot us for "not having a sensible naming scheme" but I'm also a device.pop person, and I actually have the same issue somewhat - I'll roll it into a not-recommended semi-undocumented config option in the next few days (if I don't forget) so you don't have to patch the source to get what you want.

So this will take a.b from a.b.domain.tld?

That would be really useful! And as far as I am concerned device.pop.domain.tld is a perfectly sensible name in a hierarchical system like DNS ;-)
Thanks! Sander
Including domain.tld is a little overkill, no? Maybe a config option to strip the words to the right of x number of dots so folks can decide if they want to add domain.tld or just device.pop.whatever.whatever?
For me, I have device.rack.site.city.domain.tld so my requirements would be different than just device.site.domain.tld.

Oh, for displaying in Observium: certainly!

That's a very hierarchical name :-) Sander
Setting committed in r3812. Please do understand page layout MAY be incorrect if you're extending the host name to longer than what we're expecting, although since we got rid of the small notification boxes on the front page I don't really know of any such occasions.
Set $config['shorthost']['length'] to whatever you wanted to modify the function as; I highly recommend undoing the source change modification presented earlier in this thread.

Can't you just trust your "location" field to identify the location? :)
