PNP4Nagios in Nagios XI

[nishith]

Hello,

I'm using Nagios Core since 5 years & presently, I've installed Nagios XI over AWS EC2 Cloud instance to monitor my small setup comprises total 7 nodes & 82 Services.

Have already monitoring lots of parameters but would like to activate/configure PNP4Nagios within Nagios XI.

I heard that PNP4Nagios comes by default with Nagios XI, but I couldn't find it.

So, would like to get some technical information about the same.

Thanks in advance,

The pnp4nagios package is installed in Nagios XI:

Code: Select all

cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/pnp4nagios_release
PKG_REL_DATE="05-02-2009"
PKG_VERSION="0.4.14"
PKG_NAME="pnp"

but it's an older version, and you won't be able to use it in Nagios XI as in Nagios Core.

Also, upgrading the package version in XI would break the existing functionality and your Nagios XI instance wouldn't be supported.

So,

Isn't it possible to install PNP4Nagios in Nagois XI further?

It is probably doable, however it is very likely that the Nagios XI's native graphs would disappear. In any case, you would be on your own with any graphing issues that you might have as this instance wouldn't be supported.

That said, if you wanted to have an "alternative" graphing method in XI, you could try integrating Grafana by following the steps, outlined in the KB article below:
