Nagios Support Forum

I'm evaluating Nagios XI (and Nagios Core) as a replacement for my current monitoring system. On my current system (rrd based / cacti) I've got a graph that shows me total inbound and total outbound traffic for my router, with a bit of a twist. I'm on a BGP system and I've got two peers/uplinks (I'll soon move to a 3 peer configuration). The graph shows outbound bandwidth as a positive number and inbound as a negative number so I can have both on the same graph without confusion. The red/blue solid lines give me the bandwidth per uplink/peer and the light-blue background give me total bandwidth (sum of all uplinks/peers).

Can I get such a graph using Nagios Core and/or Nagios XI? If I do - is it a lot of work? It wasn't easy using rrd either...

If Nagios can't do this, how close can it get? At a minimum I assume it can have a graph showing uplink to peer 1, uplink to peer 2 and the sum of both uplinks?

Thank you!

Nagios XI has a built in Graph Explorer which allows multi stacked performance graphs.

Otherwise I would look at using Grafana, we have several KB articles that explain it's setup depending if you are running Core or XI.

Thank you,
The built-in graphs are good for most things; Since performance information is kept in RRD files I'm sure I can handle my unusual graphs using Grafana or something else.

Great, is there anything else we can help with on this topic or can we lock this thread?
