Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

So I was able to setup passive checks from my Linux machine and send it to nagios NRDP server, so I can receive new passive checks for that service every 5min (for example). Now is it possible to store that data I am receiving and shape it into a graph?

Thanks,
Peter

Your check results will need to include performance data as per the following doc:

https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html#AEN200

Assuming everything is valid the graphs should generate themselves.

Thank you I was able to generate a graph from my passive checks, although it comes in a default format/color. Where would I be able to edit the design as I please? I have checked in the directory /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/x.x.x.x/ the xml files but there was nothing there.

That I do not know off-hand. I assume you're talking about the graph line colors? We don't have any way to define that in the web interface. I do need to mention that if you decide to modify anything in the code we can't really help fix any resulting errors that might crop up.

Hello,

Thanks for replying. What I had in mind is, instead of having a filled colored graphs I want it just a single line so I can have several lines in 1 graph without them being on top of each other. Is this a thing that can be done ?

This should be possible within the Highcharts framework (Javascript library we use for graphs) since we use this in the Home -> Graph Explorer -> Multistacked Performance Graph tab. However I don't think this is possible in the general XI performance graphs. I'll make sure a feature request gets filed for this.

Hello,

Actually it can be done to the passive graphs, but sadly it must be done manually to each graph (I have 1000+ graphs). And the only way to keep it as lined graph it must be added to a dashboard otherwise the changes won't be saved.

Are you saying that it works for passive check graphs but not active? From a graphing/performance standpoint there really should be no difference between the two. Where specifically is this working vs not working for you?

Thanks for replying,

It is working for both, the only problem is just that changes must be done to passive checks one by one, what I mean is there is no rule that says change this option for all passive checks which is a pain if you have a lot of graphs. But the good thing is it works:)

Thank you

To further help you, can you tell us what exactly you're modifying to make these changes? We can definitely file a feature request for this, so that you can make the changes in bulk.
