### <a id="addons-graphing-reporting"></a> Graphing Addons
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### <a id="addons-graphing-pnp"></a> PNP
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
PNP (http://www.pnp4nagios.org) must be configured using the "bulk mode with npcd and npcdmod"
|
|
|
|
|
hence Icinga 2's [PerfdataWriter](#performance-data) acts as npcdmod. NPCD will collect
|
|
|
|
|
the rotated performance data files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### <a id="addons-graphing-pnp"></a> inGraph
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inGraph (https://www.netways.org/projects/ingraph/wiki) requires only the ingraph-collector
|
|
|
|
|
configured pointed to the perfdata files Icinga 2's [PerfdataWriter](#performance-data) will
|
|
|
|
|
write to the performance data spool directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### <a id="addons-graphing-pnp"></a> Graphite
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are Graphite addons available collecting the performance data files as well. But
|
|
|
|
|
natively you just use the [GraphiteWriter](#graphite-carbon-cache-writer) feature.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### <a id="addons-reporting"></a> Icinga Reporting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By enabling the DB IDO feature you can use the Icinga Reporting package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### <a id="addons-visualization"></a> Visualization
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### <a id="addons-visualization-nagvis"></a> NagVis
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Either using Livestatus or DB IDO as backend you can create your own network maps
|
|
|
|
|
based on your monitoring configuration and status data using NagVis (http://www.nagvis.org).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### <a id="addons-web-interfaces"></a> Web Interfaces
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next to the Icinga supported web interfaces (Classic UI 1.x, Web 1.x, Web 2) there are a
|
|
|
|
|
couple of community provided web interfaces too:

## <a id="plugins"></a> Plugins
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additional plugins next to the [Monitoring Plugins](https://www.monitoring-plugins.org)
|
|
|
|
|
are available at the [Monitoring Exchange](#https://www.monitoringexchange.org) platform.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
More details on the plugins can also be found on the Icinga Wiki at https://www.icinga.org

|
|
|
|
|
|
## <a id="plugin-api"></a> Plugin API
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Currently Icinga 2 supports the native plugin API specification from the `Monitoring Plugins`
|
|
|
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The `Monitoring Plugin API` is defined in the [Monitoring Plugins Development Guidelines](https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html).
