=== Download ===
 
Download the RPM from http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/michaelw/sme7/nagiosgrapher
 
 
 
=== Installation ===
 
 
 
==== Configure the dag repositoy ====
 
{{Repository|dag}}
 
 
 
==== Installation of the Nagios Grapher package ====
 
/usr/bin/yum --enablerepo=dag localinstall smeserver-nagiosgrapher-*-0.noarch.rpm
 
 
 
 
 
=== Configuration ===
 
You need to edit serveral configuration files:
 
 
in <tt>/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg</tt> add/modify
 
cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/serviceext
 
process_performance_data=1
 
service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata
 
 
 
in <tt>/etc/nagios/commands.cfg</tt> add/modify
 
define command {
 
  command_name  process-service-perfdata
 
  command_line  /usr/share/nagios/fifo_write.pl /var/log/nagios/rw/ngraph.pipe '$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$\n' 3
 
}
 
 
 
Create files in <tt>/etc/nagios/ngraph.d</tt> to configure the graphs. You may use the files in <tt>/etc/nagios/ngraph.d/samples/</tt> as a starting point. Also consult the documentations in <tt>/usr/share/nagios/nagiosgrapher/doc/CONFIG</tt> and the links listed in the [http://wiki.contribs.org/index.php?title=Nagios_Grapher&action=submit#References References] section below.
 
 
 
This contribs has the file <tt>/etc/nagios/ngraph.d/cpuload.ncfg</tt> included which generates a graph for service definitons where the service descriptions contains the word "load". This works 'out of the box'.
 
 
 
Finally restart the services:
 
service nagiosgrapher restart
 
service nagios restart
 
 
 
=== Uninstall ===
 
This removes the installed NagiosGrapher package.
 
/usr/bin/yum erase smeserver-nagiosgrapher

The Nagios Grapher contrib is no longer supported.

The Nagios contrib now includes the PNP graphical perfomance data analyser. PNP integrates much better into Nagios 3 than Nagios Grapher. In contrast to Nagios Grpaher, PNP is under ongoing development and much better documented.
