Hi,

I would imagine this is possible but haven't tested it myself. I found a related question on the Grafana Community board about integrating Grafana with multiple Nagios servers. Let us know if you're able to set it up. Thanks, Benjamin

You can always write a retention.dat "exporter" that prometheus can collect ;)
Thats the way i went.
Prometheus holds last 24h of data and grafana queries the prometheus :)

@Tanel thanks for contributing

These types of 3rd party integrations are out of scope for XI product support but good luck and let us know if you get it working.
