Installing PNP4Nagios

Offical site: http://www.pnp4nagios.org/

PNP4Nagios draws graphs of performance data collected by Nagios.

Source used: pnp-0.4.14

Compile and install:

./configure \
 --prefix=/usr/lib/nagios \
 --mandir=/usr/share/man \
 --with-perfdata-dir=/var/log/nagios/perfdata \
 --with-perfdata-spool-dir=/var/log/nagios/perfdata/spool \  # <- this option for ncpd mode only
 --sysconfdir=/etc/nagios/pnp \
 --datarootdir=/usr/share/nagios/pnp

make
make install

Enable in Bulk Mode by settings these lines in /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg:

# Enable performance data prcoessing
process_performance_data=1
enable_environment_macros=1

#
# service performance data config for PNP
#
service_perfdata_file=/var/log/nagios/service-perfdata
service_perfdata_file_template=DATATYPE::SERVICEPERFDATA\tTIMET::$TIMET$\tHOSTNAME::$HOSTNAME$\tSERVICEDESC::$SERVICEDESC$\tSERVICEPERFDATA::$SERVICEPERFDATA$\tSERVIC
ECHECKCOMMAND::$SERVICECHECKCOMMAND$\tHOSTSTATE::$HOSTSTATE$\tHOSTSTATETYPE::$HOSTSTATETYPE$\tSERVICESTATE::$SERVICESTATE$\tSERVICESTATETYPE::$SERVICESTATETYPE$
service_perfdata_file_mode=a
service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=15
service_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-service-perfdata-file

#
# host performance data config for PNP
#
host_perfdata_file=/var/log/nagios/host-perfdata
host_perfdata_file_template=DATATYPE::HOSTPERFDATA\tTIMET::$TIMET$\tHOSTNAME::$HOSTNAME$\tHOSTPERFDATA::$HOSTPERFDATA$\tHOSTCHECKCOMMAND::$HOSTCHECKCOMMAND$\tHOSTSTAT
E::$HOSTSTATE$\tHOSTSTATETYPE::$HOSTSTATETYPE$
host_perfdata_file_mode=a
host_perfdata_file_processing_interval=15
host_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-host-perfdata-file

Define the above commands process-service-perfdata-file and process-host-perfdata-file in your command cfg file:

# for PNP bulk mode:
define command{
        command_name    process-service-perfdata-file
        command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl --bulk=/var/log/nagios/service-perfdata
 }

define command{
        command_name    process-host-perfdata-file
        command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl --bulk=/var/log/nagios/host-perfdata
 }

Edit the config files to your needs:

• /etc/nagios/pnp/config.php
• /etc/nagios/pnp/process_perfdata.cfg

Enable a checked service to collect performance data:

define service{
    ...
    process_perf_data 1
    ...
}

Open the the following to view graph of monitored host:
http://<server name>/nagios/pnp/index.php?host=<monitored host name>

Switch to the new pnp4nagios-0.6.x
