So in short - an overview dashboard allowing you to pick various attributes/metrics and group those. There are some approaches here but one cannot deny on the fact that those graphing tools are addons to a monitoring tool mainly designed for alerts and thresholds. Which in detail means, that one might miss the fancy graphing dashboards. For PNP you might have a look at the so-called "pages", or build your very own html templates generating the output for you (the url GET params of pnp are convenient to use for external applications). Another approach would be the inGraph View Architect as part of the Icinga Web cronk component, but that's not yet released but living in git 'next'. That one is considered building your very own view based on various attributes, integrated into Icinga Web. If using graphite, there are plenty of dashboards and guis around which may fullfil your needs even better - but I am not sure which one would be the right to pick here. If you're just interested in grabbing that from the backends - rrdtool, rdbms or whisper speak different languages but may be used for some custom layouts too, i guess. Colleague of mine recently built some reporting dashboard based on ingraph data plots :) Basically there's a variety of options available - you might wanna start your test vm and try them out and choose yourself then :) -- DI (FH) Michael Friedrich mail: [email protected] twitter: https://twitter.com/dnsmichi jabber: [email protected] irc: irc.freenode.net/icinga dnsmichi icinga open source monitoring position: lead core developer url: https://www.icinga.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
