Nagios Support Forum

Hi.

We are currently running the Eval version of Nagios XI and so far it seems to meet most of our needs. There is however one question I need an answer to before I can complete my evaluation of the product.
Is there any way to configure the performance data graphs? I.e. somehow define how much and how detailed data is retained in them?

I would also like to be able to create a servicegroup containing CPU/Load checks of multiple servers and then being able to create a single graph for all the CPU's. I mean One graph with a line in it for each CPU.
Something like that would be very helpful with server baselining, capacity planning and trend analysis.

Thanks in advance.
Richard.

It seams that this would be possible, though it's beyond my knowledge base.

Several users have successfully adjusted the time range of graphs displayed and this would be just the beginning of manipulating the graphs. This is done with PNP, by adjusting the URI of the graph image. PNP generates it's graphs from RRD files and combining these together should be trivial, with an XML dump/mangle-combine/XML restore. However I'd be surprised if PNP or some other RRD grapher didn't already have this feature.

xi have the ability to take several graphs and overlay them or not? would like to present 1 graph instead of multiple based on diff service checks per host.

Not at this time, no. This feature has been added in a new release of the graphing component upstream though, so it may be possible in a future release of XI.
