Hello,

The PNP module for icingaweb2 is makred as depcreated and will not be developed anymore. Better go for graphite or influxdb nad use the modules that are available for them.

Thanks for info ,
do you have good doc for graphite installation and configuration for RHEL8 , as i tried this first and i faced a lot of problems , so i looked for npn .

Regards,
Eman

I normaly install influxdb. easier to install and easier to maintain :slight_smile:
Check the howto section, i think there is one for graphite (centos7, but should work for 8 too)

Regards,
Carsten

actually i follow this doc : https://monitoring-portal.org/woltlab/index.php?thread/40288-icinga2-with-influxdb-and-grafana-howto/
but i face issues with grafana ,
do you have another mosule we can configure on influx to show the graphs /

Thanks, Eman

I wrote one on setting up graphite on rhel8 a while back: A distro agnostic guide to Graphite with venv (examples: RHEL8, Debian10, Ubuntu18)

I’ve actually switched to InfluxDB and the Grafana module since then, though. I would say InfluxDB is a far superior TSDB to Graphite (my opinion), but the Grafana module for Icinga is going to take more levels of configuration than Graphite’s (which kinda just works). If you’re stuck somewhere, let us know and we should be able to guide you.
