NagVis 1.6 stable released

We are proud to announce the new stable release of NagVis: NagVis 1.6. The new release improves the usability and performance of Nag
Vis. It introduces a lot of interesting features compared to the last stable release 1.5.10.

The most important changes are:

The WUI has been removed and merged into the regular frontend. You can now lock/unlock specific or all map objects to edit them. The
maps can now be edited in place.

We added a sidebar which can be opened clicking on the "Open" button in the header menu. It should make browsing a long list of maps easier. To make it easier to browse in the sidebar we added the map option "parent_map" which can be used to define parent/child relations between maps.

The colors and ranges of weathermap lines can now be customized per object. The middle of line objects with two parts can be repositioned. This makes it possible for lines go round corners.

The header menu can now be hidden to safe space on the display. The state of the header menu is stored for each user.

Under the hood NagVis 1.6 introduces the object_id attribute which is meant to identify an object on a map. It is automatically added
to each object if none is configured.

The nagvis main configuration can be split in parts using the conf.d directory. This makes configuration management in environment
s like OMD (http://omdistro.org/) easier.

The hosts in the automaps have now a context link "make root" to browse the parent tree.

NagVis 1.6 comes with a new backend for NagiosBP (http://bp-addon.monitoringexchange.org/) which makes it possible to show up NagiosB
P aggregations as servicegroups in NagVis.

These are only the most important changes. You can find a detailed technical view on the feature changes and bug fixes in the NagVis change logs linked from the download page.
