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.

Andy.

Subject: [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?

Thanks a lot,

• Chris Lee
