Nagios Support Forum

Hi Guys

A quick question, I hope. I run 2 production instances of XI that look at different parts of our corporate network (Prod1 servers & Prod2 Infrastructure). I have been using Grafana for some time now, installed on the back of Prod2 using a pnp4nagios plugin, where I have created some nice dashboards around Bandwidth usage etc... I am currently migrating the systems to CentOS7 and I want to now break Grafana away from being hosted on one of the Nagios servers and have it on a standalone box where I can then create dashboards with info from both instances of Nagios XI feeding into that one server. I have found the following guide which is not much help as it is for Nagios Core

and clearly states. So my question is this... Is there a guide out there that can help me achieve my goal of feeding two separate instances of Nagios XI into one instance of Grafana being hosted on it's own server?

Hi,

In all honesty here, I don't have the best response to your question. I think this can be done, but we do not have official documentation on this process since Grafana is a third-party integration.

I would like to point that you do get 3 activations with your Nagios XI license, production, test, and backup. So you are free to experiment on the test server without worrying about breaking your production instance while testing this configuration.

Let me know if you any questions or comments.

Hi Ben

Yea we have 2 unlimited licences, 2 production instances, ad 2 test which mirror productions in their setup.. I don't touch Prod until I get it all working on the test first I still have one licence free for each instance, but not sure what to do with those yet as we don't need DR servers, due to the way we backup our system we can restore nagios in about 5 mins.

I'll keep plugging away at it, I have asked Grafana but to be honest their forums are not much help.

Thanks for getting back to me, you can lock this one if you like, I have no other questions.

Sounds good. We'll lock this one up.
