Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,
We have some below queries, please suggest on.
1) Where is getting save performance graph data? In only .rrd files or some other location also?
2) What is retention period to save performance data?
3) In which file we can do changes, if we want to increase or decrease retention time?
5) We are looking a way to import all performance graphs in separate server? Is it possible? If yes the how?
4) From where capacity planning pull the data?
5) Can we redirect capacity planning feature in a separate server? If yes then how?

settings for new rrd creation is located in /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/rra.cfg

If the machine is the same architechure you can copy the rrd's

Historical from RRD's and it does the calculations withing this Enterprise component.

Not at this time but we are working on developing an API for Capacity Planning that would be able to be polled from a different server.

Hi Scott,
Is there any way to import or integrate all Nagios XI rrd with Cacti.

Doc is from August 2013 but should still be relevant. As always, backups/snapshots are encouraged before major system changes.

You could certainly try to grab the RRD's there shouldn't be anything different about the data within than there would be with rrd's created on a standard core server. Core integrates with cacti just fine so I'd give it a shot.

Using same doc I did installation of cacti, but i am not getting any option there to import all excisting Nagios rrd in cacti. Our requirement is all Nagios created rrd should be visiblae there.

Also how we can import all rrd data in excel.
