=== Download ===
Download the RPM from http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/michaelw/sme7/nagiosgrapher

=== Installation ===

==== Configure the dag repositoy ====
{{Repository|dag}}

==== Installation of the Nagios Grapher package ====
/usr/bin/yum --enablerepo=dag localinstall smeserver-nagiosgrapher-*-0.noarch.rpm


=== Configuration ===
You need to edit serveral configuration files

in <tt>/etc/nagios/nagios.cfg</tt> add/modify
cfg_dir=/etc/nagios/serviceext
process_performance_data=1
service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

in <tt>/etc/nagios/commands.cfg</tt> add/modify
define command {
command_name process-service-perfdata
command_line /usr/share/nagios/fifo_write.pl /var/log/nagios/rw/ngraph.pipe '$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$\n' 3
}

Create files in <tt>/etc/nagios/ngraph.d</tt> to configure the graphs. You may use the files in <tt>/etc/nagios/ngraph.d/samples/</tt> as a starting point. Also consult the documentations in <tt>/usr/share/nagios/nagiosgrapher/doc/CONFIG</tt> and the links listed in the [http://wiki.contribs.org/index.php?title=Nagios_Grapher&action=submit#References References] section below.

This contribs has the file <tt>/etc/nagios/ngraph.d/cpuload.ncfg</tt> included which generates a graph for service definitons where the service descriptions contains the word "load". This works 'out of the box'.

Finally restart the services:
service nagiosgrapher restart
service nagiosgrapher restart


=== Uninstall ===
This removes the installed NagiosGrapher package.
/usr/bin/yum erase smeserver-nagiosgrapher
