Cacti intigrate with nagios

[Max]

Hi Satish,

I wrote Cacinda, it is good for integrating the displays of the two,
but does nothing to help with host and user management.  Sorry.

Cacti uses RRD, so does PNP, so I would think you could use RRD files
from Cacti with PNP; haven't tried, but I don't see why that wouldn't
work.

You could set up PNP, copy the files from Cacti into PNP directories
and play with making a few templates and if that works then just use
PNP to view the historical files from Cacti in one location and use a
separate instance for new data.
