Nagios Support Forum

hi team,

We would like to send data from nagios xi server to grafana server so that we can create dashboards on grafana tool.

let me know if its possible or not and if yes whats the best practises to achieve this kind of data visualisation.

Hi,

I believe this can be done, but we do not have official documentation on this process since Grafana is a third-party application.

I would like to point that you do get 3 activations with your Nagios XI license, production, test, and backup. So you are free to experiment on the test server without worrying about breaking your production instance while testing this configuration.

Additionally, there are a number of tutorials online for Core to help get you started.

just wanted to know if Installing PNP4Nagios plugin on Nagios Xi will break anything in our current environment .

Hi @IT-OPS-SYS,

Nagios XI is already running NPCD for performance graphs and processing RRD files.

where is the location of these rrd files inside the nagios and is there any way that i can get json format for these files.

Hi @IT-OPS-SYS,

All of the rrd files are located in the following directory. There is an RRD export tool that you can use to export this data into JSON format.
