I found nagiosgraph simple and easy enough for my nagios setups. It requires RRDtool. If "graphing" is a critical aspect, I would look for a more robust graphing package though. For us the graphs are just good visuals (for non-technical people) and help us gauge trends. -- Mat W. - <A href="http://www.techadre.com/">http://www.techadre.com</A> > Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2009 11:33:37 +0100 > From: paul.weaver@bbc.co.uk > To: gabriel@impactteachers.com; nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Graphing data > > > I want to use graphing on my nagios instances, and I was wondering, > > will it only graph new data from the point of installation onwards, > > or will it graph history data from the nagios logs? > > Depends what data you're talking about.
