thoughts about a new network map

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

This week we have among other things thought a bit about possible implementations for a new network map

Here is a very interresting flash component that we are thinking of using as a replacement for the “Hyper Map” in Monitor. Take a look at RaVis.

I’m very curious at what people outside of our office thinks about it

beer time next Wednesday

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

Time for a social event, finally!! :)

During this year’s performance review talks I got feedback from the developers that it would be nice to see some users a bit more frequently.

When we started op5 many years ago, this was not an issue since we spent time with the customers, at the customers locations all the time, doing installations, consulting and such. But as time passes and the company grows the guys spending most time with our users are the brilliant partners and consultants we work with and not the developers. This has it’s advantages but also a lot of dissadvantages so I hereby invite all op5 users to have a beer and some snacks with us at the Gothenburg office, Första Långgatan 19, Göteborg, Sweden next wednesday March 18.

We will start somewhere around 16:00 and continue until we get tiered :)

Very welcome everyone! and please send me a quick note at jd@op5.com if you want to come so that I can make sure to have enough beer and snacks.

hopefully this is the start of a monthly tradition.

see ya!

New nagios gui :o

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

Hey all

Believe it or not, but we have started the work on a gui that has the aim to be the preferred alternative opensource gui to Nagios!!

This is something we have wanted to do for years now and by judging of the amount of requests we get from our customers about improvements to the current gui we are not alone  :)

The project is in a very early stage and no code is yet publicly available but we have a couple of prototype screenshots that we would like to share with you.

Take a look at http://www.op5.org/community/projects/ninja for more info

note: although Ninja is a very cool name, we will change it since it’s a little bit to cool for us = already used by many other projects

So when can you download and use this new shining gui? Well I hope we can publish some code on git.op5.org within the next month or earlier  and we plan for having the gui stable and usable enough to base our product op5 Monitor on it in June!

Cheers
