Nagios graphing - line vs area

[yaanatech]

Hi All,

I have been writing my scripts graph data with the following format;

Code: Select all

echo "Status OK: Usage is $INT2 with $INT2 remaining.| Usage=$INT1;Remaining=$INT2"

[/b]

Is there an setting anywhere that would set the graph to be a line instead of area?

In what way? The graphs are all lines, pnp4nagios just fills everything from 0 to the metric line with color. Do you not want the colored body of the graphs?

[yaanatech]

Yeah - I am looking to have line graphs and not area graphs.

You can create your own graph templates for the plugins. Look at the documentation here
http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.4/start under "PNP Templates"

The templates can bu uploaded into XI under Admin -> Graph Templates

I don't have much experience with the graph templates, the default.php mentions both area and line - how would I get it to just display the line? Also, does a new graph template need to be the name of the command being ran, in ordered to be recognized?

Generally, where you see something like

Code: Select all

$def[1] .= "AREA:var3#FF0000:\"Load 15\" " ;

you can change it to just a line if you put

Code: Select all

$def[1] .= "LINE:var3#FF0000:\"Load 15\" " ;
