Cacti Integration With Nagios

Post by rabjac »

I've just started building a Nagios server under RHEL 5.3. I've installed a full version of RHEL 5.3 (all packages). I've also just finished (manually) installing the latest Nagios core packages. Nagios is up and running.

I now want to incorporate Cacti for graphing purposes. Is there a step by step guide (specific to RHEL 5.3 and Nagios) that will take me through the process? If not can someone point the way please?

TIA.

I clicked the 1st link in your signature and did a CTRL-F in my browser to search for Nagios, but I see nothing.

How is your standard RTFM response helpful?

Oops, sorry. I assumed you were asking for a cacti install only. Sorry, but I don't know nothing about nagios integration.

Dang it! Well, I was hoping you'd point both of us in a better direction. I've inherited an ugly Windows product for monitoring/alerting and I'm considering replacing it with Nagios. I'd love to know if there's some synergies between the 2 products. Hell, if nothing else I'd love for it to use the SNMP data I'm already collecting just to reduce the burden on the target machines.

When I wasn't getting any feedback from the Cacti community, I started to look at other options.

Today, I've managed to get PNP4Nagios graphing enabled. Only just started monitoring/graphing our Cisco switches but looks not too back and totally integrates to Nagios (click icon next to host/service to display trending graphs).
