CPU, Memory and Disk Space resource utilization

Post by kaushalshriyan »

Hi Support Team,

I am using Nagios Core 4.4.5 on CentOS 7.7. I am monitoring 25 servers as of now. Is there a way to find out what is the current resource utilization of all the 25 servers. For example:- Server 1 -> CPU, Memory and Disk Space resource utilization and so on and so forth for the remaining servers. This is an exercise to do Capacity Planning in our Organisation to find out if the capability of current infrastructure (25 servers) is sufficient for the next 6 months to a year.

Thanks in Advance and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

Kaushal

Nagios XI comes with a lot of this built in as it comprises of a lot of different technologies.

Most likely you'll extrapolate that data from performance data. I would suggest you look at implementing Influxdb/Grafana. Here's some documentation on how to do that:

The breaks in your performance data generally mean you are not receiving valid data back from the plugin during these intervals, or perhaps for some reason the performance data is being deleted before it is being processed.

You may want to look at the influxdb logs to see if it is reporting any errors.
