Nagios Support Forum

Dear Team,

We have a project to integrate nagios graphs with external application by calling Nagios API. Do we have any API endpoint to list the Nagios graphs or to get the nagios graphs using Nagios ID. Kindly help

Thanks

Hi @argentra, thanks for reaching out.

Please check out this post on this same topic.

Dear Sebastian

Thanks for your answer.

Is it possible to get the data with time range using API Endponint. For example, Particular Host details with time line

Assume , we have access to /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata, Is there any guide we can create a grapgh using those raw data

Thanks
Kumar

Hi Kumar,

It looks like I was mistaken earlier - you can get the same data using the XI 5 API. You can access the documentation by going to Help -> Objects Reference -> Data Exporting in the Nagios XI web interface. The performance data graphs are available under "rrdexport", and you'll also have access to data for capacity planning, the Host/Service Availability Report, the SLA Report, and the BPI Group summary.

As far as creating your own graphs, we use Highcharts for most of the visualizations in our application, including the Performance Data graph. However, the data from the API is generic and should be usable with whatever charting library or solution you're able to use.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
