Nagios Statistics for Notifications/Alerts

  • 772

We have had our Nagios installation up for a year, and we are now required to give some statistics on how much it has worked and what it has done in the environment. As such, I was wondering if anyone knows if Nagios also holds data records on how many alerts and notifications it sends out? I am not necessarily looking for reports on what it alerted on, but just some raw statistics for a powerpoint.
TL:DR Can I extract how many notifications and alerts Nagios has produced in it's existence or between certain dates?

    open up your nagios console

    • Select Reports > Alerts > Summary
    • Under Custom Report Options, Set Report Type to "Alert Totals" (or one of the options like this for finer grained reporting
    • Set the Report Period to "* CUSTOM REPORT PERIOD *"
    • Set the start date and end dates appropriately
    • Apply any other filters that you would like (hostgroups, hosts etc)
    • It is not necessary to adjust Max List Items as this report is quite short.
    • Click on Create Summary Report

    Done!

    This is valid for Nagios 3.2.0
