[Nagios-users] Can Nagios keep the data returned from the services?
Hi, I am new to nagios and just set up one a few days ago. I am using Nagios to monitor the CPU, Memory usage and disk usage of the my servers. I would like to know if Nagios is able to keep the data (ie. cpu, memory, disk usage data) returned by the services from those hosts. I need the data because I will use it for capacity planning and for some simple monthly reports. Can I make use of Nagios for this purpose?

Re: [Nagios-users] Can Nagios keep the data returned from the services?
Hi Chris, I'm looking at the possibility of doing this myself over the coming months. Unfortunately, I can only give you a pointer. I believe what you're looking for is performance data - that is, when a plugin returns it's output, a specially crafted string at the end of the output (containing the statistics - e.g cpu usage, memory usage etc) for that particular plugin can be parsed by Nagios and processed in some way. However, not having done this, I'm not privy to how it works - lookup the performance-related config directives in the Nagios 2 documentation, I'm sure this will provide an insight.

Hi All, Thank you very much for giving me the useful information. I think these are the parameters that I need :) process_performance_data host_perfdata_file service_perfdata_file host_perfdata_template service_perdata_template host_perfdata_file_processing_command service_perfdata_file_processing_command host_perfdata_command service_perfdata_command Best Regards, -- Chris --- This thread is located in the archive at this URL: http://www.nagiosexchange.org/nagios-users.34.0.html?tx_maillisttofaq_pi1[showUid]=3937 - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

There are two ways of doing it. You can either have nagios run a command after each check (The perfdata is passed on the command line) or have Nagios write to a file (which can be a pipe as well). Among the parameters you mentioned some of them are for a perfdata command while others are for a perfdata file. If you choose to write to a file, you can optionally have nagios run a command every *_perfdata_file_processing_interval to process the file (Nagios will reopen the file once the command terminate, so the best way to do it is to move the file away, fork and then process it). Note that running a command on each check will become a bottleneck soon enough if you're doing a lot of checks, so writing to a file or pipe is preferred. If you have good Perl knowledge you should take a look at my OCP_Daemon which could be a good starting point if you want to write your own daemon to process the data: http://www.nagioscommunity.org/wiki/index.php/OCP_Daemon Thomas -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFG15Ij6dZ+Kt5BchYRAhRHAJ4/GMzfuFtKn6NT+cyKldiZAHU/ZgCffDRQ XSzI7O3kPlEdS8d5HfhEvhk= =lWCt -END PGP SIGNATURE- - This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
