Re: [Nagios-users] Custom report showing weekly Average/Max valuesfor CPU/RAM/SWAP/Availability
Hi, Thanks for the response. I will look into the RRDTool command line option. Yes, I am using NDOUTILS. I have actually examined a few of the tables and it looks like the base values that can be manipulated are in there (somewhere :-). I have looked at the NAGIOS email reporter and it's not what I want. In fact, I have implemented the same thing it does myself - i.e., query the standard NAGIOS cgis. The issue with this output is that what you get from the CGIs are not the performance data values, but the percentage of the time a particular measurement is over the warning/critical threshold. By the way, are there comprehensive entity-relationship type diagrams for the tables making up the NDOUTILS tables anywhere? Thanks.
