the Troo

the Troo is an advanced Nagios topologic tool fully developed by TComm for Centreon and Boreal. Based on Java, it combines power, flexibility, an intuitive interface and a cool look.

 

 


 

TComm leads the development of a topologic tool integrable in Centreon, and thus in Boreal, that synthesizes the best of NagiosMap and supplies many of its deficiencies.

In line with the philosophy of TComm. the Troo has been developed entirely in Java from the open source library Prefuse, taking advantage of its great potential for implementing a fast tool, with intuitive UI and fully integrated with Nagios-Centreon tandem.

Although we continually add new functionality, some of the most important features of our topology are:

  • Based on principles of attraction and respulsion with configurable physical attributes: The nodes are floating freely and never overlap.
  • Features of drag, zoom, pan, and screen capture, both on screen controls as mouse actions.
  • Hideable context menu, resize the drawing area in real-time.
  • Support for Nagios 2D coordinates and location of nodes in real-time (functions of fix, drag and free node).
  • Viewing problems graphically: Node problem icon is modified in real-time by combining with a symbol to show warning, critical, down, flapping, unknown and downtime states.
  • Viewing services and state: double click on a node shows and hides their services and status.
  • Views based on user permissions and host groups: Only usres with permissions on a host team/group may be viewed.
  • Support to "upstream" problems: As an exception to the previous point, if a host or service has problems all users with permissions on children host will see the item with problems. This feature allow us to understand problems on children node derived from a dysfunction on parent node.
  • Compatible with Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox, Google Chrome and Apple Safari.

the Troo is released as open version, whith the above functions, and as Enterprise version adding advanced features like:

  • OpenStreetMap integration: Allows to fix nodes on geographical coordinates and to display the associated map.
  • View manager: Allows to users to design views by combining different hosts of different groups over different maps (bitmaps).
  • Screen events: Shows information associated with those nodes that have problems on a double slider.
  • Unattended display system for rooms: autofocusing, zoom and displays information about those nodes with problems in a sequential mode prioritizing those with more serious problems.
