Director does not show all external commands and does not offer a second or more pages #1659

Hi there!

I'm quite new to Icinga2 and its components, so this one, as simple as it seems, gave me a headache:

I was looking at the external commands Director had automatically imported from the main (fresh) Icinga2 installation. I did find quite a lot of them, but nothing to monitor SMTP. My alphabetical list started with a... and ended with procs-windows.

However, looking at the Nagios plugins directory there were about 20 more checks available than Director was showing me, including check_smtp.

Inspecting the MySQL database of Director, I did notice that check_smtp had been successfully imported, still, it was not visible in Director's web frontend.

But I did notice, that Director is displaying a page number (1) when listing external commands. But no second or third page, just 1 of 1. So I tried to type "smtp" into the search box and - hey! - there it was: smtp check ready to use.

So I assume displaying just page 1 of 1 instead of 1 of 2, so you can switch to the second page and view the rest of the available plugins, is a bug in the current version of Director.

Can anybody confirm or fix this?

Thanks!

Mark

Environment: CentOS 7 freshly installed Icinga2 and Icingaweb2 (from official Incinga for RHEL/CentOS 7 repository) freshly installed Director (cloned from git master)

Need to add: This problem also applies to other lists not properly spreading accross multiple pages, e.g. user-defined data fields.

OK, i found that it is possible to switch pages, even if it seems to be only one. Also, the problem only exists when two columns are open side-by-side, so closing one of them makes additional pages visible where they were hidden before. Still, I think this should be optimized.

Double-click on your desired tab or close the other container, it will be full-width. Main reason for the current style: it would otherwise wrap in an ugly way on smaller screens. Initial plan was to show a vertical list of available pages when hovering the page number in "compact" mode, just... there was some issue with it - and not enough spare time left.

This needs improvement.
