graphing ping response times(how I did it in Nagios)

[v1rtu0s1ty]

Hi guys,

I would like to use cacti to graph ping responses. However, this is my scenario.

I'm currently using Nagios with RRD patch. This way, I can click the graph icon to graph the ping response times I receive from my nagios agents. The nagios server does not really do the pings. It just receives the ping results from the nagios agents. This means that I have another box installed with the nagios agent. To make it much more easier to visualize, nagios server is in california, nagios agent is in chicago. Then the nagios agent pings another ip host in texas. This means that the ping response is actually from Chicago to Texas which I'm really interested in.

Can we do this also in cacti?

However, Nagios is used for monitoring purposes and sending alerts.

Thanks! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If the nagios agent is writing to a file that you can access from your Cacti servers location, you can write a script that reads that file and creates the graph in Cacti. I do this today all over the place.
