Title:       Implemented Dashboard Designer
Component:   Multisite
Level:       3
Class:       New Feature
Version:     1.2.5i6

This change implements the long awaited Dashboard Designer. With this feature=
 users
can edit existing dashboards, create new ones and provide their dashboards to=
 other
users just like it can be done with the views.

Another nice feature is the formalized context we introduced for views and da=
shboards.
With this concept it is possible to create a host specific dashboard once and=
 open
it for several different hosts. You can create a "Oracle Database dashboard" =
once
which can show you the state of a single database server. The name of the dat=
abase
server (context: hostname) of your choice can be provided when accessing the =
dashboard
to "instanciate" such a dashboard.

Dashboards edited by users are saved in <tt>var/check_mk/web/USER/user_dashbo=
ards.mk</tt>
just like edited views are now saved in <tt>var/check_mk/web/USER/user_views.=
mk</tt>. The
views saved by a user before this release which are stored in <tt>var/check_m=
k/web/USER/views.mk</tt>
will be migrated automatically once the user edits it's first view. From this=
 time the
new edited views will be read/written from/to the new file.

For details take a look at the <a href=3D"/checkmk_multisite_dashboards.html"=
>dashboard documentation</a>.
