So far, there is no easy way to do this that I have found. Nagmin, a webmin plug-in, proposes to do so, but I couldn’t get it to work, nor could another member of the list. I am currently trying to get a different method together from a friend of mine that managed to do it manually. Good luck in finding a method, and definitely let us know if you find an easy one. <DIV> <DIV class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align=center> <HR tabIndex=-1 align=center width="100%" SIZE=2> </DIV> From: nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net] On Behalf Of Nolan, Greg Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2004 9:53 AM To: nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [Nagios-users] Performance Data</DIV> I was hoping to integrate some form of performance data tracking using rrdtool with nagios. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good solution. I was hoping for something which is simple to install and maintain.
