Reports

[anish]

Hello,

We have around 200 hosts (windows and Linux in AWS). We have been asked to produce a monthly report of CPU and memory usage of these servers (PDF or CSV).

Can you please provide suggestion on how to do this?

Thanks,
Anish

If you have an Enterprise license, the "Scheduled Reports" component is perfect for this if you're looking to get automatic reports every month:

Otherwise, you can get reports on utilization in terms of CPU/Memory from the "Metrics" page:

Which you can break up by hostgroup if you like. You should be able to save this page as a PDF in Chrome/Firefox.

To clarify, we don't strictly have a "Utilization" reporting tool that exists within Nagios XI. That is to say there isn't a report that includes memory/CPU usage for a given machine or set of machines over a historical period.

I submit a feature request for this (ID 9268).

Thank you.

Would that be in version 3.1?

A Feature Request submission is no guarantee it will ever be in any version. You are free to inquire about it's status here though.

Regarding the original request, there are many ways to measure CPU and memory utilization. Any simplified representation of this will miss out on important details, and might even be harmful if misunderstood. So this request is not as straight forward as it might appear.
