"There is a node without any running inputs" notification #2501

Open pdepaepe opened 8 years ago

Hello,

When a graylog-server doesn't have any input attached, such notification appears in red in overview panel without possibility to ignore it forever.

Since, graylog-web-interface/graylog-server merge, i don't think such information is relevant, as a natural setup will be to use graylog master as api/webinterface node role (no input) and let other graylog nodes do only processing (this mean web_enable = false).

So maybe, this notification should appears only if involved node is also doing Message processing, which means to keep this state also stateful.

I understand your idea, but I don't think that it makes sense to use a web interface only node anymore. The web interface does not consume any resource on the server anymore as it is client-side only and serving the static assets does not cause noticeable resource consumption.

The real issue at hand here though is that while the notification still may or may not make sense, it keeps reappearing after being closed. I guess the best way would be to make the check configurable so you can disable it if you really want to run a web if only node.
