Hi there, First post to this list. Flames welcome. :)
I've been using Nagios for a couple of years to monitor about two dozen hosts on our network at work. The machines are mostly Debian Squeeze/Wheezy, the Nagios server itself is Squeeze. Nagios was installed from the Debian package but the plugins were installed from source on both the Nagios server and the machines which it monitors. I've modified a couple of plugins to be able to monitor e.g. hard disc temperatures and sector remap counts, and that's all working fine. Yesterday I decided to install Nagiosgrapher from the Debian package to give a better overall picture of trends. So far it's been a total failure. Well, almost total. I have some nice graphs of the response time for HTTP requests on those machines that have Web servers running (Apache on port 80, and CUPS on port 631) but I have no use for these graphs as (a) I'm also running Smokeping and (b) the HTTP request response times are, at least on our LAN, of no interest anyway. I'd much prefer to see the clock drifts of my ntp servers, for example. So I set about trying to figure out how to make such graphs. The documentation that I can find talks about modifying a 'map file' (which I gather will be called 'map') so that Nagiosgrapher can graph arbitrary data. The problem is that the Debian package did not supply this file. ged@tornado:~$ atool -l /var/cache/apt/archives/nagiosgraph* | grep map -rw-r--r-- root/root 267 2012-06-08 17:22 \ ./usr/share/nagiosgrapher/debian/cfg/ngraph.d/standard/check_imap.ncfg Clearly there's something doing the bnecessary somewhere, because I can see the HTTP graphs, but I've no idea where to look amongst the morass of configuration files for anything resembling it. Where is the bit of magic that emulates the map file on Debian? -- 73, Ged. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Introducing Performance Central, a new site from SourceForge and AppDynamics.
