Post by rdhall01 »

Is there a replacement for apan in nagiosxi? I have looked but cannot find a replacement tool for apan or similar type of addon?

Have you looked at the performance graphs in nagiosxi? There are pnp4nagios graphs under each service and host, as well as highcharts graphs in the graph explorer. Both of these come stock with XI.

I know about the graphing, but im looking more towards the check functionality.. we have a bunch of older nix box running and using apan.
apan /u00/app/nagios-2.9/apan/apan.sh $ARG1$ $HOSTNAME$ "$SERVICEDESC$" $TIMET$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$

Im looking more towards interface, snmp (apc checking amps)
examples
apan!ping!200.0,25%!500.0,60% replqaced with ping
apan!nt-disk /load! replaced with nsclient++
apan!snmpget!10!20
apan!snmpget!120!150 amps

APAN has not been supported for 10 years (http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Ad ... AN/details).
Not to mention many of components and syntax it relies on are replaced/changed/removed. While it would be an interesting academic endeavor to make it work with modern nagios core or XI, it is definitely not in scope to try to port it to one of the current platforms.

NRPE is the closest cousin to APAN's check functionality available currently, so you may want to check it out.
