Nagios Support Forum

Hi,
I am on a trail of Nagios XI and I had some questions about configuration of the rddtool graphing.We currently using Nagios for our server monitoring and we are testing IX out for network monitoring. The problems that I am running into involve Cisco Routers. Is there a way to see more detail then a 4 hour graph? Also is there a way to display port label and port description on the same graph? And finally we are having a problem displaying the proper unit of measurement on the graph
the current in should be 12 Mb/s and the left hand label doesnt have a unit of measurement. Any help would be appreciated.

Is there a way to see more detail then a 4 hour graph?

I know there's work being done on implementing a more flexible time range selection, I believe for the next major release of XI.

Also is there a way to display port label and port description on the same graph?

I think this goes back to how it was defined when the service was created, and Mike has been making some changes to the switch wizard to offer options about what descriptions to use. You might try checking out the latest switch wizard from the Exchange.

the current in should be 12 Mb/s and the left hand label doesnt have a unit of measurement.

That's a little more puzzling. Can you show us what is showing under the "Advanced" tab for the service detail?

A couple of my graphs do have a label but it is weird. It is ub/s when it is real kb/s and the left hand label is m doesn't make since. The top graph is the same port but pulled by a different program.

The info you gave was the host detail page - I need the advanced tab of the Bandwidth service.

Some how it is not putting it into the graph with the right values because the info it is pulling is right.

This is something that I too would like to get a resolution for, frustrating when the unit measurement changes.

Wow, okay. I honestly have no idea. I believe this is just a limitation of the graphing component we use internally to XI, so we may just be stuck with it for now. We're looking into an upgrade of that component that hopefully will fix some of these sorts of things, but that's going to require pretty significant testing and such, so it may be a little while yet.
