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

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...

Re: [Nagios-users] Cacti intigrate with nagios
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 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... > > > > Regards, > > Satish Patel > > > Quoting Max : > >> Many of us have used Cacti and Nagios together (I did for several >> years) :), some probably still do. better to go with a Nagios-centric >> graphing add-on like PNP (there are others available as well!) and not >> use Cacti at all .. trust me, you will be a happier person for not >> using both at the same time. >> >> 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 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. >>> >>> >>> Regards, >>> >>> Satish Patel >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> -- >>> 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 >>> >> > > > > -- 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
Re: [Nagios-users] Cacti intigrate with nagios
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...

Re: [Nagios-users] Cacti intigrate with nagios
Many of us have used Cacti and Nagios together (I did for several years) :), some probably still do. better to go with a Nagios-centric graphing add-on like PNP (there are others available as well!) and not use Cacti at all .. trust me, you will be a happier person for not using both at the same time. 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 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. > > > Regards, > > Satish Patel > > > > > > > -- > 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 > -- 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
