Performing load tests with Nagios

[Polifemo, Salvatore]

Chris,

One limitation you will run into is that Nagios collects data at a
minimum of 1 minute interval .

You can look at plain MRTG if you can collect the data via SNMP.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Performing load tests with Nagios

Hello,

I understand that Nagios is the perfect tool to monitor a network and
the state of each server. I got the task to run memory tests, cpu load
tests and network tests under high load conditions (i.e. put a quadcore
processor to 100% load on each core) and monitor the temperature and
other parameters. Is Nagios with suitable plugins a solution? At the
moment a proprietary framework is planned for this project, but it turns
out that it is not extendable for custom requirements. I need some good
arguments to convince my project leader.

Cheers, Chris
