File nagiosgrapher.README.SuSE of Package nagiosgrapher

Just a few steps to run the grapher ...

Add the following lines to your /etc/nagios/nagios.cfg:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
	# serviceext_type MULTIPLE
        cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/serviceext
	# tell nagios to write service perfdata
        process_performance_data=1
        service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata
------------------------------------------------------------------------

and add the following command to your /etc/nagios/misccommands.cfg:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
	# define process-service-perfdata command to communicat with nagiosgrapher via pipe
	define command {
		command_name process-service-perfdata
		command_line /usr/lib/nagios/contrib/fifo_write.pl /var/run/nagiosgrapher/ngraph.pipe '$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$\n' 3
	}
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please do not forget to check /etc/nagios/ngraph.ncfg for the proper loglevel.
The default loglevel is set to 63 which might blow up your logfile!

The nagiosgrapher template files can be found in /etc/nagios/ngraph.d. The
default set of configuration should work out of the box (if you have
correctly installed and configured nagios 2.5 prior to the nagiosgrapher).
PLEASE NOTICE that the serviceext files in /etc/nagios/serviceext are written
automatically on every rrdupdate. If this is not want please comment the line:
'hooks_rrdupdate                 NagiosGrapher::Hooks::SrvExtWriteHostextInfo'
in /etc/nagios/ngraph.ncfg with a '#'.

For the detailed configuration of nagiosgrapher please have look into the
CONFIG file in the package documentation directory.

Have a lot of fun ...
