Quick Question About Nagiostats Utility

[James Whittington]

To answer your question, we dump perfdata using perfparse to a central
mysql database for trending and analysis.
As you mentioned there are several good graphical trending tools out
there but having the data in a relational database gives us a good bit
of flexibility about how that data is used and presented.

I can make quick work of creating a perl wrapper script to format the
output I just was wanting to find out if the max service latency
returned by nagiostats was based on a 5 minute average or not.

Thanks for your input however, I'll have to evaluate some of the other
tools sometime.

Why waste time developing something when you can use something like
NagiosGrapher or PNP, which is quite good in my opinion? Just my two
cents, I hate programming though.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Quick Question About Nagiostats Utility

I'm wanting to graph service latency using the Nagiostats utility but I
didn't see clear documentation as to what interval the min/max/average
uses.
I do see the MRTG Integration definition example uses a label of Max 5
Minute Latency so I'm assuming min/max/average values are past five
minutes and not since the last restart of nagios or some other interval.

In this particular case the version of nagios would be  2.12.

Does anyone know a definitive answer to this one or did I just overlook
the answer? 

Thanks,
