plugins that integrate with rrdtool

[Tedman Eng]

You mentioned cricket in your message.  If you have a current setup using
cricket, you can use the built-in threshold alerting to send passive checks
to Nagios from your cricket collector.  I'm running ~600 graphs on cricket
in compliment to Nagios.

I find that RRDtool wants rather regular scheduled data and is tolerant of
missing data.  Nagios is quite the opposite.  It wants no missing data, and
schedules things dynamically.  This fundamental difference made me consider
seperate (but complimentary) monitoring and trending facilities.

Subject: [Nagios-users] plugins that integrate with rrdtool


Nagios Community: 
I'm about to migrate my Nagios 1.2 server to a new machine (more hosts means
needing more power). As my old install has been running for close to a year
and a half - what's the latest status of plugins that integrate with
rrdtool? Specifically, I'm looking for ones that also support SNMPv3. Last
time I implemented, SNMPv3 was implement only a day or two before I rolled
out.
Currently, 95% of the plugins I'm using are custom coded. I've started to
integrate a few of them with rrdtool to determine problems over a period of
time (ie: interface error rate over the last X hours). I'd like to have them
all integrate with rrdtool (similar to cricket) so that I only have to read
the metric once and be able to use it for a) generating alerts b) storing
data to graph trends c) alert based on automated trend analysis.
Thanks, 
Tony
