Where Does Nagios Save Data For The Service It Monitors??

Post by mohsin2011 »

Hi,

i want to ask that i can monitor services and can add perimeters for the services that i want to monitor through nagios bu adding them to the windows.cfg file !
Does Nagios save the data it monitors service by default ?? and how do we access that data base in which it saves that data and if it does not saves data it monitors then how would we save the data for the monitored service ??

Hopes for your suggestions

Thanks in Advance,

Nagios will save the data it received from monitoring. As I mentioned in your later post, depending on your installation, look for a perfdata.log file.

By default, there in no database that nagios stores it's data. it is a flat file. You could add the ndoutils plugin and configure a mysql database.
