[hobbit] tooltips

[Klomp, H.]

Hi all,

In contrast to others in this mailing list, I think the use of the tooltips are very handy.
I agree that the tooltips make the output of the bb2 page a bit different, but the big advance is that people instantly know which system is having the problem.
Especially on the bb2 page, which is mostly used by managers who don't know the names of the system.

Biggest challenge is to keep the tool tip within boundaries but stil use full.

Regards,

Bert

In regards to the hobbit snapshot:

They say a picture is worth a thousand words.  If the list server allows it, I have attached an image of my bb2.html page.  bb2 is our primary view and, as you can see from the image, tooltips pushes all the hobbit columns out of the view to the right.

Tooltips are the text you see when you hover over items like the smiley's in hobbit?  I suppose it has always worked well for the little smiley gif icons, just not so well for the bb2 host links where it seems to add the tooltip to the hostname rather than create floating text.

Re: the tooltips issue:

Isn't it useful to make this an option whether they should be displayed on the bb2 page or not?

I really like the tooltips but I agree with David that they will clutter your bb2 page so that this page is not longer usable...

Subject: RE: [hobbit] stale alerts

I am running 4.2.0 with the allinone patch.  I do have a suspicion that external server side scripts could contribute to the stale alerts.  In my case, specifically a script that ssh's to a remote host and executes a shell script on the remote host.  It may also happen in conjunction with these errors in the logs, which someone else recently reported:

page.log.1:2007-11-05 16:20:53 hobbitd_alert: Got message 14425, expected 14424
As soon as the issue with tooltips is resolved, I will be moving our primary hobbit to the snapshot release.


The snapshot, seems much
better, but with tooltips and host descriptions pushing our display to
the far right of the screen we cannot use it right now.
