Nagiosgraph: setting a logarithmic scale for single service check

I need to set y axis to logarithmic for a single service check.

I've read this can be done:

Configure this in the configuration file /usr/local/nagiosgraph/etc/nagiosgraph.conf
For all graphs: rrdopts=--logarithmic
For some services: logarithmic=service1,service2

But I don't know the syntax for providing the correct setting e.g. service1.

Is it the nagios service description including whitespace?

How do I then get the cfg to take effect?

Thanks

Solution

  • I did it like this:

    In /usr/local/nagiosgraph/etc/nagiosgraph.conf update:

    logarithmic="BME680 Enviromental Monitoring" 
rrdoptsfile=/usr/local/nagiosgraph/etc/rrdopts.conf

    In /usr/local/nagiosgraph/etc/rrdopts.conf at line:

    BME680 Enviromental Monitoring=-o

    Check all ok:

    sudo /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -v /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

    Restart Nagios:

    sudo service nagios restart
