Nagios Support Forum

Hi all !

I want some informations about cacti integration in Nagios xi. I would like to see for example for a server :

- Nagios graphs (CPU Load, Memory, ...)
- Cacti graphs (Network Bandwidth, ...)

I can't find any documentations about it on internet...

Thanks !

We have the following documentation on installing Cacti Alongside Nagios xi
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... ide_xi.pdf

Additionally, you can find more information on the Nagios Exchange
http://exchange.nagios.org/index.php?op ... word=Cacti

Thanks for your answer !

Yes I have seen this documentation, but I doesn't explain who to integrate Cacti graphs into Nagios xi. Same thing for Nagios Exchange .. That's why I posted on this forum, I didn't find any solutions anywhere, and I don't have enough knowledge to develop something myself.

The problem is not Cacti installation, but cacti graphs integration into Nagios xi.

Maybe something is possible with RRDtool ? I don't really know how it works with Cacti or Nagios.

If I get Graph sources of Cacti, maybe I can use it in Nagios xi ?

I think I will use rrdtool. Is it possible to insert a graph generated by rrdtool on a host ?

For more info on the rrdtool, you can check this link:

I can know generate Cacti's graph from Cacti's rrd files with rrdtool command. I want know to integrate the graph in Nagios xi. I saw that we can create graph templates (which are using rrd) on Nagios xi, but I don't know how it works, and don't find any documentation about it. Does anyone have more information about it ? If I create a template, how can I use It with a new Nagios Service ?

Thanks !

We don't really have any documentation on this, yet. Maybe this link can get you started:

http://docs.pnp4nagios.org/pnp-0.6/tpl

Ok thanks,
so as I understand it, for a service, pnp look for the template (.php) and for the xml file (which contain the variables and generated by perfdata.pl) to create the graph. The problem is now to generate the XML file with Cacti data.. Arf I don't know If I'll succeed !

I don't know how this can be done in Cacti but you can try something else. I am not sure if this is going to work - I haven't done it, but you can try:
