Performance Graph on New Service

[rredmond]

I have created a new command in Command Management and then created a new service using that command and added to the host. All is well finally and it is returning the correct data which is numeric. Yet I am not getting a performance graph. Is there something in the config that I missed that I need to set to get the values to graph? Is there a seperate config? Its important in this case as I set all this up FOR the graph. I noticed in the "Trend" section that its graphing up and down in there despite a numeric value of "61" . Thanks in advance for any advice you can give!

On the detail page for the service, go to the "Advanced" tab, and look in the field for "Performance Data" - what do you see there? Also, what check plugin is this using?

I dont have an Advanced tab in Service Management. Common Settings, Check Settings, Alert Settings & Misc Settings. I dont see performance in any of those. Im not using any of the check commands. I created my own check command using Command Management. So this is completely from scratch which is why Im sure its something Im missing. We are running Nagios XI 2009R1.2

Sorry, I meant on the normal status view screens, not in the Core Config Manager. Where you have tabs of "Overview", "Performance Graphs", "Advanced", "Configure", and "Notes".

As for making custom-written check plugins create graphs, they need to return performance data per the specifications found on http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/devel ... tml#AEN201, so you'll just need to add some code to your plugin to make it output that as well.

Duh, in Service Status Detail-->Advanced tab/Performance Data is completely blank. It is pulling data however. Sorry for the confusion!

(Oh, btw - the latest release of the 2009 branch is 1.4b, just so you know that there are some updates available if you want them.)

Hey thanks! I had a feeling it was output related but Im not using a plugin per say. Heres the scoop, I installed the EMC wizard however that did not produce any data really usable to us. It did however need us to install the Navisphere CLI which IS useful to us! So what I did was create a command that Nagios XI could use to produce the data we need to see. It is and its working great! Cept, no graph......which is of course what the boss really wants to see. History, trending, etc. Can I incorporate the output specs IN the command? If so how? I dont even need max/min. Its a percentage and they only want to see trends.

Can you post what you're using as the check command currently? Most likely what you want to do is write a simple shell script wrapping the command, and make that wrapper script the check command in Nagios.

[rredmond]

Sure, here it is:

/opt/Navisphere/bin/./naviseccli -User xxxxxx -Password xxxxxxx -Scope 0 -h $ARG1$ getcache -pdp

$ARG1$ is the IP address of the storage processor you want to hit in this case. Im also working on one that shows utilization as well which also produces a percentage result. I am no Unix programmer btw.

Sorry, I should have asked this before too: What does the output of that command look like? Also, regarding that return value of "61" - is it always an integer, or could it sometimes have data after a decimal point?
