What do you use to graph perfdata?

Post by mdcyntst2 »

I've been beating my head against the wall for days now trying to find a working solution for graphing perfdata. AI summed up something for me at one point stating the NagiosXI has a proprietary builtin solution, but the community edition has not standardized on a solution.

It seemed like a simple thing (in fact in the past it was). Nagios->perfdata->rrd->rrd Graph tool. In the past I've used nagiosgraph and cacti as tools, but Nagios 4 seems to impede things, as well as those old school rrd tools are deprecated and no longer support current versions of OS and perl (v8 specifically)

So my first ask is how do you collect your perfdata(nagios4) and graph it


Thanks in advance

You mentioned using Nagios XI. have you considered using theCSP Edition

Code: Select all

https://www.nagios.org/?utm_campaign=csp&utm_source=nagioscore&utm_medium=splash_button&utm_content=4.5.10#csp-section-home
? Its limited to 10 hosts. but if that's sufficient for you it may be helpful.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

I have an experimental project that I've been working on for Core.
It combines Core + Prometheus to give you time-series performance data hence the name, NagProm.
