Latency Reporting on Nagios XI

Post by gbolahan »

Hi Guys,

I have a requirement to generate latency reports in excel format for a host group. Is there any Nagios XI functionality that can help me withe that?

I'm assuming that latency is the performance metric for a service you're wanting to compare for the entire hostgroup?

Latency is the Round Trip Time performance metric fora host or service, I need to be able report the average value of this metric over any defined period of time

We don't have a nice "out of the box" solution for a report like that. We do have a script: /usr/local/nagiosxi/tools/rrd2csv.php that can be used to export any host or service rrd file into CSV. You'd probably have to look at writing a custom script that looped through the hostgroup list and grabbed all of the metrics that you need, and then incorporate this script.

Code: Select all

[root@DEV59 tools]$ ./rrd2csv.php

Nagios XI RRD To CSV Tool

Usage: ./rrd2csv.php --host=<host> [--service='<service>'] [--start=<start>] [--end=<end>]

Options:
  <host>     = Host name [required]
  <service>  = Service description: Use single quotes if spaces in name
  <start>    = Start time. Defaults to 'today.' Accepts -12h, -3d, or YYYYMMDD format.
  <end>      = End time. Defaults to 'today.' Accepts -12h, -3d, or YYYYMMDD format.

This utility creates host and service definitions for use in testing.

Also, our standard host checks create performance graphs on this metric, and the performance graph calculates the average for the time period
