Monitoring over Time with Nagios: How?
- by David
Nagios in its standard usage monitors with point-in-time checks: either something is - or is not - true.
Other tools like SGI's PCP, HP's MeasureWare, and SEC provide monitoring over time - monitoring things like average disk access time over the last five minutes, or other similar items. Is there anything like this for Nagios? I'm already running NDOUtils, which seems like a natural source for such data.
I'd like to have something that would monitor and fire off alarms based on a time-based check using historical data. Is there anything like this for Nagios?
