Nagvis : Rotation pools
   
Rotation pools
The Rotation pools are just sets of NagVis maps that are used to rotate between. So you can open up a rotate pool to have your maps shown for a certain time and then the rotate function will switch to the next map in the pool.
Note: Neither automap nor Geomap kan be used in a rotation pool.
There is no GUI to use for administration of the rotate pools. You have to edit the nagvis.ini.php file that is located here:
/opt/monitor/op5/nagvis_ls/etc/nagvis.ini.php
Adding a rotation pool
