Enabling Multi-Type Performance Graphs using SNMP

[Iantidon]

Hi,

How can I enable the Usage Performance Graph & Utilization Performance Graph using SNMP services?

What I noticed is that when I use WMI services, it gives me two Performance Graphs which is very useful to me (Usage [by Capacity] & Utilization [by Percentage]) unlike SNMP that shows only 1 Performance Graph (Usage [by Capacity]).

Do you have both of the data sources already? If you do then it's as simple as creating a "Multistacked Performance Graph" in graph explorer. If you don't have both sources of data already, start there.

Hi JDalrymple,

I tried to view it from Multistacked Performance Graph but still it don't give me the details I need.

I attached some screenshots to make it more clear. It is more convenient to view the graph by navigating to VIEWS>HOST DETAIL>CLICK VIEW ALL SERVICES OF HOST>CLICK ONE OF THE SERVICES>PERFORMANCE GRAPHS.


When I used WMI Wizard to monitor Windows based server, it automatically show two type of graphs. But when I used SNMP Wizard it only shows one graph.

Hope this helps explaining on my concerns. I forgot to tell you, I'm a newbee

This all has to do with the amount of data sources returned in the performance data string (everything after the pipe | symbol). If the plugin only returns one data source, then there will only be one graph.

I did a talk about understanding performance data and graphs at the Nagios World Conference, you can watch it here:
