The Home page components

The main view

The home page of NAV displays operational messages (if any) and gives an overview of boxes that are down (if any). The tool bar provides login / logout, links to toolbox, userinfo, preference and quicklinks.

Login / logout

Login to get access to more NAV tools. The NAV administrator must first add you as a user using the user administration panel. Each user has a certain set of privileges that i.e. regulates which tools he or she may access.

The tool box

The toolbox lists all the NAV tools with a brief explaination and lets you navigate to your tool of interest.

Userinfo

Userinfo displays information about you and lets you change your password.

Preferences

Preferences contains two subtools; navigational preferences and status page preferences. In both cases we are talking about your personal preferences - a means of altering the look and feel of your NAV user account.

Choose which tools you would like to include as quicklinks, easily reached from the NAV main page. You may also add personal links (to whatever url you like) as a quicklink.

Status page preferences

Use this tool to alter the view of the status page. You may include more monitoring status on the status page (add new section). You may also adopt filters to suppress certain alarms and thus only displays those of your interest.

Configuration files

/etc/nav/webfront is the directory for configuring the NAV home page. Add your welcome message to users in the the various welcome-files, edit your contact information and more.

Log files

webfront.log gives information on failed logins and other issues.
