Opinion... APAN, Nagiostat, Perfparse, Nagiosgraph, Cricket.. and Nagios

[Sand Philipp]

APAN: pretty "old" Tool to generate Graphs, uses "normal" Output of
Plugins pretty much work to configure, stores config in mysql db and
graphs in rrd files, nice overview page when ready.
Nagiostat: Haven't tried that one so far, as far as I know it uses the
normal Output of the plugin, stores Data in rrd files, as far as I heard
it's easy to configure
Perfparse: I'm using that one, because I want to store my data in a
mySQL DB, perfparse uses performance output of plugin and stores
everything in a mysql database. Very easy to setup, you just have to
enable performance data in nagios, set up an mysql db, and follow the
installation instr.
Cricket: haven't heard anything about that one
