Accessing Nagvis Maps directly

When accessing Nagvis inside Checkmk and creating a map, the URL to the map is as follows: 

http://<host>/<cmksite>/check_mk/index.py?start_url=%2F<cmksite>%2Fnagvis%2Ffrontend%2Fnagvis-js%2Findex.php%3Fmod%3DMap%26act%3Dview%26show%3D<mapname>

Now you need to alter the link a bit. We have to strip everything Checkmk related and transform the URL-encoded ASCII strings in a human-readable format. The above link would then look like this:

http://<host>/<sitename>/nagvis/frontend/nagvis-js/index.php?mod=Map&act=view&show=<mapname>

Nagvis on a wall-mounted TV

If you want to visualize a Nagvis Map on a wall-mounted TV, you can use this URL:

http://<host>/<sitename>/check_mk/login.py?_username=<username>&_password=<password>&_login=1&_origtarget=%2F<sitename>%2Fnagvis%2Ffrontend%2Fnagvis-js%2Findex.php%3Fmod%3DMap%26act%3Dview%26show%3D<mapname>

I would recommend creating this URL using the network analyzer of your browser: Enable Checkmk profiling#NetworkAnalyzewiththeinternetbrowser

Between login.py? and &_origtarget, you need to add the following options:

_username=<username>&_password=<password>&_login=1
