[Nagios-users] Cacti Integration With Nagios
I have successfully managed to get Nagios and Cacti up and running as 2 separate entities on the same server I am setting up for monitoring purposes. The question I really need to know is the best way to integrate them both so firstly RRD data is transferred into Cacti from Nagios and secondly how can I view the Cacti graphs directly from Nagios?

[Nagios-users] Cacti
Hi All, Are there any app to integrate Cacti in Nagios? I've red about Centreon, can it be used instead of Cacti?

Re: [Nagios-users] Cacti intigrate with nagios
Thanks! I dont want any with thresholds its plain integration thing is that i dont want to login both interface for same problem (monitoring) i need easy administration so i can make happy my client. end user dont know about what is cacti and what is nagios i just want to give them one interface example : www.nagiomonitoring.com so they login into and check host services as well as host graph i am ready to add host on both system nagios and cacti but only watching from single interface i hope you got my idea.. i just want to create URL on nagios hosts for whenever i click on URL it takes me to cacti gharphing cool but not easy..i need your input... Regards, Satish Patel Quoting D. Emmanuel Feinsmith dan...@danielemmanuelfeinsmith.com: Satish, Are you wanting to integrate the thresholds with Nagios, or the graphs, or ? To integrate the thresholds, you need to create a process of some kind that pulls data periodically out of the Cacti threshold database table and submit it as a passive check result to Nagios. If you want to integrate the RRDs into the Nagios UI, you'd basically have to modify the Nagios CGIs, which is probably not a great idea, since from what I hear, they are changing them a great deal in a forthcoming release. You could also create some kind of framework which offers single sign on for both Cacti and Nagios and have a single web console with both Nagios and Cacti on it. Daniel.

You can write scripts that auto-add hosts to Nagios based on the Cacti database or vice-versa but it gets ugly pretty quickly. I personally replaced Cacti with PNP and am very content with the combination; MUCH less administration time than Cacti + Nagios and PNP makes adding new templates much easier than Cacti does for people who are comfortable with RRD syntax. - Max On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 2:31 PM, Satish Patel sat...@linuxbug.org wrote: I have nagios running and now i want to intergate my cacti with nagios so i have only one frontend. anybody has done before this solution? please let me know.

Re: [Nagios-users] Cacti intigrate with nagios
I will try this solution.. but one more problem is i have installed cacinda and when i open it on URL then i only can see host list and i select host it showing mesg No device class match for host ( no graph there) can you help me on this for to resolve cacinda problem... Regards, Satish Patel Quoting Max perld...@webwizarddesign.com: Hi Satish, I wrote Cacinda, it is good for integrating the displays of the two, but does nothing to help with host and user management. Sorry. Cacti uses RRD, so does PNP, so I would think you could use RRD files from Cacti with PNP; haven't tried, but I don't see why that wouldn't work. You could set up PNP, copy the files from Cacti into PNP directories and play with making a few templates and if that works then just use PNP to view the historical files from Cacti in one location and use a separate instance for new data. =- Max On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 7:17 PM, Satish Patel sat...@linuxbug.org wrote: Thanks! but reason is i am using cacti since last 4 years and there is lots of historical data which i dont want to lost thats why i want to integrate existing cacti with nagios. that why i am looking plugin which help me to do this i have read about cacinda but there is not more document on net so its difficult to work on this if you guy already using this solution so please suggest me i will be happier...

Read up on the notes_url attribute of hosts and services :), you can easily set that up to jump a user from Nagios to PNP or Cacti .. that might be the way to go for you .. have users log into Nagios, then just provide links into Cacti / PNP from Nagios using the notes_url. If Cacti is installed on an Intranet / trusted network, then you can allow the guest user to have read all access so that when users jump from Nagios to Cacti they will not be redirected to the Cacti login page .. that is how I used to integrate the two from an web perspective before I started on Cacinda. Cacinda does provide a unified view but the additional work to maintain yet another piece of software just to have a Cacti/Nagios view might not honestly be worth it for you. - Max -- Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H ___ Nagios-users mailing list Nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/nagios-users ::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. ::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
