Change ‘traffic light’ symbol for matching rules that are deactivated from grey to yello

9 votes

When you access a rule set via a host or service Checkmk shows you the rule set in the analysis mode. A ‘traffic light’ symbol appears in every line and the color shows whether and/or how this rule affects the current host or service.

If a matching rule is deactivated, it's marked always with a gray traffic light and can therefore quickly be overlooked.

Please mark rules that would be applicable but are ineffective because they are disabled with yellow or another color so that they also can be identified as a matching rule if activated.

The green bullets are also difficult to distinguish from each other.

We have analyzed this issue and defined a solution for a better visibility of the bullets. The different greens also create issues for users with red/green blindness.
Not sure, if the improvement made the cut into Checkmk 2.2.0. Let me check

We decided to rework this page entirely (and a lot of other pages which similar problems).

That really looks much clearer and more concise 👍
