Nagios Support Forum

This is my first full day on NagiosXI.

I set up MSQL Server checks (are they called services?) that will occur every 5 minutes.

So say I wanted to see the "Buffer Cache Hit Ratio" as a graph over a day... or over a month. I'd likely want to set up multiple of these graphs on the same report/dashboard so I can spot trends that may be correlated.

I guess an example would be like this:


It would be showing the same SQL Server Instance (or Host) on the page, but a number of metrics over time.

I notice individual graphs like this when you drill down into a Host Service (check on a host) on certain screens.

Maybe there is just a set of videos or documentation that shows how to configure/customize the reports to do things like this?

On thing you could do would be to navigate to Home > Graph Explorer > Scalable Performance Graph > Set the time filter here and select your Host then Service, now you can select the 'dashify' icon on the graph and send that graph to your dashboard.

Well thank you. That helps get a single one just fine.

For scalability, is it possible to define a dashboard or report that has say 10-50 services on it, and you can change the Host? Or the opposite, which would be a dashboard or report with all of the hosts and you change the Service displayed?

Along the same vein, since you're defining the timeframe, can that be a variable you change for all of the graphs on the same dashboard/report?

So just so we get a better picture, you would like to see a dashboard that has essentially 5-10 separate graphs on which you can change their host/service at will? This is not currently possible due to how the dashify process works, though it would be a neat feature. Currently you would have to go in and change the dashlets by hand.
