Statusengine processes performance data

Statusengine is able to process performance data without the reason to start a new daemon or create / parse any text files on your disk created by config options like:

process_performance_data=1
service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata
service_perfdata_file=/tmp/service-perfdata
service_perfdata_file_template=$LONG-STRING$

Statusengine gets every required data to create performance data out of the Gearman-Job-Server. So there is no need to create text files on your disk ;-)

In native mode Statusengine's servicechecks workers will insert new recors to your MySQL database and create/update the RRD files in one call. So no additional software is needed to get this job done. If you want to increase the number of servicechecks workers, take a look at Make it scale!

If you are using Mod-Gearman to distribute your service checks on multiple worker nodes Mod-Gearman is able to save the performance data into a Gearman-Job-Server.

So if you are using Mod-Gearman on your system and don't need/want a MySQL database you can use Statusengine's mod_perfdata to fetch the performance data provided by Mod-Gearman and save it down to your RRD files.
If you wan to use mod_perfdata, you need to set the following values in your mod_gearman_neb.conf or module.conf:

perfdata=yes
perfdata_mode=2

First of all you need to install required PHP extensions and RRDtool:

apt-get install rrdtool php5-rrd

apt-get install rrdcached

<?php

//If you want, Statusengine's servicestatus workers are able to

//process performacne data for you and save them to RRD files

//so you don't need to install any additional software to

//get the job done.

'process_perfdata' => true,

'worker', 'MOD_GEARMAN' and 'GEARMAN'

service statusengine restart

First of all you need to install required PHP extensions and RRDtool as well:

apt-get install rrdtool php5-rrd php5-mcrypt

php5enmod mcrypt

apt-get install rrdcached

                            

perfdata=yes
perfdata_mode=2

service naemon restart

service mod_perfdata start

A lot of people using PNP4Nagios to render rrd graphs.
PNP4Nagios requires XML files with some additional information like all available data sources, a name of a template for rendering and so on.
If you don't need this XML files you can turn them of in /opt/statusengine/cakephp/app/Config/Perfdata.php:

<?php

'XML' => [

    /* If ModPerfdata will write pnp4nagios compatible XML files or not

     * Type: Boolean

     * Default: true

     */

    'write_xml_files' => false,

Statusengine is able to store performance data to a Graphite installation. For example Grafana is a very famous solution to create graph based dashboards.
Example:

First of all you need a working Graphite (and if you want Grafana) installation.

In the next step, configure the address of your Graphite server in Config/Graphite.php:

//Statusengine will create a TCP connection to your graphite server
'host' => 'graphite.example.org',
'port' => 2003,

In Config/Statusengine.php you can define the graphing backend you like to use. Add 'Graphite' as backend:

//Checkout Config/Perfdata.php for RRDTool configuration
//Checkout Config/Graphite.php for Graphite configuration
//
// Examples:
//  1. RRD only: ['Rrd']
//  2. Graphite only: ['Graphite']
//  3. RRD and Graphite: ['Rrd', 'Graphite']
'perfdata_storage' => ['Rrd', 'Graphite'],
