Hello People!

[Fredrik Wänglund]

OK, to answer your two questions;
The problem with /usr/local is in Apans plugins that have hardcoded path's to Nagios plugins. I will fix that in next release.

The RRD's is created manually when adding a service to Apan. I dont know how the RRD's are set up by MRTG, but it would be posible to use the same RRD's in Apan - The only thing you need to know is the name of the datasets and the lowest interval at wich you have to insert data.

Hello Fredrik,

As much as I see Apan's potential, I fear that it's not mature enough yet to
be widely deployed.

I spent eight hours trying to integrate it with my customer's Nagios system
and eventually scrapped it.  Not because it wasn't great or didn't work, but
because I had to create a nearly unmaintainable configuration.  Apan depends
on Nagios being in /usr/local/nagios a little too much.  My customer has
standardized on RedHat Linux, and the RPMs for Nagios do not install Nagios
in /usr/local/nagios.

Please understand that I think Apan is a necessary addition to Nagios, and I
want to add it to my standard deployment.

Is there a way to make Apan take it's configuration from nagios.cfg?

Could Apan default to creating RRDs that closely mimic MRTG?

Thank you for your great work on this.

Darren Ellis

I think you should look at Apan, apan.sourceforge.net. It's a addon to
Nagios that is used to create nice graphs over for example bandwidth-usage.

Simon,

In short, no.  Nagios's basic function is to monitor if a host/service is
up or not.  That only solves part of your problem.  I recommend MRTG for
for bandwidth graphing.  It has a small learning curve (once you get your
fist config done, the rest are fairly easy) and is also quite poplar.
Other options like RRD are also very nice but even I haven't made the jump
to them yet and I've been using MRTG for years.  It'll happen soon enough
though.  Good luck

Justin
