Nagios Support Forum

Hi ALL, I'm new to Nagios and would like to check any way to setup a daily performance report which record data of CPU usage , Memory Usage and Hard Disk Usage in CSV format.

Possible to have such report?

This type of report doesn't currently exist in XI. If you want me to, I can file an internal feature request for you for adding this functionality. If you need to get this done faster, you can contact our sales team at [email protected] and request a quote for a custom development.

Hi, yup we need this feature so that we can have the daily report of server performance (CPU, Memory and Hard Disk usage).
how long to add this feature?
Any Nagios Plugin can do that?

I'm not aware of any plugin or component that does what you need. In addition you should be aware that what you're asking for has some complexities to it:

The modularity of Nagios allows people to write plugins whoever they see fit to report data that is useful to them. In a lot of cases you might be using one plugin to monitor Linux load and then another plugin to monitor Windows CPU usage. These metrics can't really be compared. It would require some ownership on your part to either:

a) Make sure that all of the plugins you use output data using similar units so that everything can be compared (assuming that's what you want)
b) Be prepared to have some complicated interpretations happen to the data after being pulled from the system to create useful comparisons.

Regarding the question of how long it would take to implement the feature request - that generally depends on interest by the XI community. There already exists a feature request from April of 2014. I will add your comments to that feature request, at that point you will have effectively doubled the interest. Since only 2 users in the entire community have mentioned it, it's impossible to assume that it would make the next release. Your best bet if you're in a hurry is to contact sales for a custom development quote.
