Monitoring Nagios performance with Nagiostats
In this recipe, we'll learn how to use the
nagiostats utility to get some statistics about the performance of a Nagios Core process, and the states of the hosts and services that it monitors.

mrtg (Multi-Router Traffic Grapher), and link to the graphs in the menu of the web interface. The Nagios Core source distribution includes some files to assist with this, which we'll use here.
