Hi @jvd,

It's not a feature built into Nagios XI but I did a quick Google search and there are some applications available to take periodic screenshots and save the output to a target directory.

With Nagios XI, you can schedule any page to be sent (emailed) as an image or PDF. Just click the 'hamburger menu in the upper right corner to schedule a page.

You can also pull all kinds of status data using the REST API. However, the output would have to be converted from JSON to an image using a script.

Hope that helps get you started, let us know if you have further questions.

Benjamin,

Thankyou, we do not have enterprise, so the emailing option will not work for us. Is there an explenation avaible about the rest API?

Hi @jvd,

The API is fully documented in the GUI. Navigate to Help > API Docs. There are a number of sample curl commands you can run to test the output.

Take a look and let me know if you need assistance with anything.

Benjamin
