Reports question

Post by issisupport »

Hello,

I am new to Nagios XI and I am currently using the trial. I was wondering if there was a way to send out a report that showed performance graphs like the ones I get under Host Detail? I would like to be able to automatically send out reports that show a nice graph for say CPU usage over the last day as an example.

Thanks

There are two ways to do this. The simplest is to email HTML that references the image, this has problems with authentication though.

The other is to convert the image into an email attachment. One could do this with a properly formatted multi-part email and a call to base64. Another method for doing this would be to script a MUA, like mutt, or to use a library.

One may also combine these approaches using an HTML data URI.
