Grouping pnp4nagios graphs

Post by l1lee »

We are currently using nagiosgraph and the subsequent Group By feature that can easily be added to the Trends section of the side bar. We are looking to change to pnp4nagios, but can't find similar functionality. Is there any comparable component for pnp4nagios? i.e. is there a simple way to group graphs of various timeframes of customizable hosts/services, etc for analysis? I would even settle for having the ability to load individual graphs for a given timeframe through a single URL. I haven't been able to find a simple way to accomplish this with pnp4nagios.

You should be able to use GET requests to limit the timeframe, host, and service in the pnp interface. Open the pnp interface in a new tab and look at the url. You should see a number of GET request options. Alter those to customize the request.

There's a green plus in the upper right corner of each pnp4nagios graph. Clicking this will add that graph to your "basket" on the right hand sidebar. You can navigate anywhere in pnp4nagios and add graphs to the basket. When you select "show basket" you'll see what you're looking for.

This feature of ad-hoc grouping into a "basket" works great with the "view PDF" feature to give users the ability to make custom reports.

Hopefully this is something along the lines of what is being looked for, let us know.
