If you have created some Nagvis Maps, you'd probably want to access them without having the Checkmk sidebar visible on either the left or right side.

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: Checkmk profiling

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

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