...
Newly created maps now use the nodes UUID, this allows maps to be created which will not degrade over time when nodes names are changed.
Maps created with opCharts-3.3.4 and below still use the nodes name as its ID, any changes or additions to these older maps will continue using the node name
Nodes are now sortable by health
Metrics and Health now shows the status metric
Nodes view now uses case insensitive regex for searching.
Changed the colours of the link between the nodes based in the input and output utilisation:
< 30 = green,
>=30 <75 = yellow,
>=75 <100 = orange,
>=100 = red
If the utilisation information is not available, the colour will be based in the status:
Green: up
Red: Down
Grey: Unknown
This colour guide can be changed in the configuration, with the following configuration items:
'opcharts_map_link_color_ok' => '#59cf59',
'opcharts_map_link_color_normal' => '#ffd700',
'opcharts_map_link_color_warn' => '#ffa500',
'opcharts_map_link_color_error' => '#d9534f',
'opcharts_map_link_color_up' => '#00FF00',
'opcharts_map_link_color_down' => '#FF0000',
'opcharts_map_link_color_uk' => '#999'
