MRTG problem

[Cyrille Bollu]

MRTG has a so-called "threshold checking" functionality where it can call 
an external program when a monitored value crosses arbitrary boundaries 
(see http://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg/doc/mrtg-reference.en.html). Such a 
program might well sends passive check results to Nagios (see 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/passivechecks.html) so that it can 
handle the notification part.

However, that's all that I'm aware of about integrating those 2 products 
together; Which I find too limited. For beter integration, I would suggest 
you to use something like Nagiosgrapher together with the check_snmp 
nagios plugin. In such a scenario, Nagios does the SNMP monitoring using 
the check_snmp plugin then sends performance data (see 
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/perfdata.html) that Nagiosgrapher 
stores in rrd files. In addition, Nagiosgrapher adds links in the Nagios 
interface to rrd graphs (see demo here http://nagios-demo.netways.de/ - 
use guest as login and passwd)

Here in my company we set up Nagios & MRTG about 2 years ago and are now 
moving to Nagiosgrapher because of this bad integration.

HTH,

Cyrille
