easy way to graph *all* the xi server cpu stats

Post by katieKatiePants »

so, when i look at the Overview page of my XI server, i see that (awesome) server statistics widget-dashboardlet thing that shows fun CPU stats like stealing/idle/etc ... is there an obvious/easy way for me to capture those stats into a performance graph? turns out a recent resize up'ed the amount of cpu stealing going on (no surprise there) and i'm hoping there's an obvious way unknown to me to see/configurate a graph for these stats ... #sorryForTheDumbQuestion

Hi

No problem. That data is coming from an internal PHP script, but if you set up checks on CPU stats you would be able to view the results in a performance graph (assuming the plugin returns performance data).

I would start by running the Nagios XI Server wizard, and take a look on the Nagios Exchanges for other checks, for example here's the listing for CPU and load plugins.
