Reporting

[Tedman Eng]

Cricket can be made to interface with Nagios quite easily.

The threshold monitor in Cricket has an alerting mechanism that allows an
"exec" option which can be wired to NSCA in order to send status to Nagios.
This is the method I chose to use, as our environment had other external
monitors that already hooked into Nagios and adding Cricket in this way made
the most sense.

An alternative is to use check_rrd plugin. This method polls the database
file after being collected by Cricket.

Another alternative is to use RRDPoller, though I've no personal experience
with this one.

Keeping the two different configuration schemes in sync is an issue you'll
have to address if you go with Nagios + Cricket.
