Nagios and MRTG seem to perform similar (though not identical) functions, and it seems silly to run both.
MRTG gets a stream of (real) numbers from a source and graphs them. Nagios runs tests to get a (natural) number between 0 and 3, and takes action if the number is non-0. It seems like you could combine these. Example: monitor and graph disk space usage; if usage over 90%, warn; if usage over 95%, critical. Has anyone integrated Nagios and MRTG (seems silly to get the same data twice: once to graph it + once to check it). I know about check_mrtg + I realize there's not a 100% match here (some tests are purely binary, and graphing them would be dull), but it still seems like a good idea in general? -- We're just a Bunch Of Regular Guys, a collective group that's trying to understand and assimilate technology. We feel that resistance to new ideas and technology is unwise and ultimately futile. _______________________________________________ mrtg mailing list [email protected] https://lists.oetiker.ch/cgi-bin/listinfo/mrtg
