Is Real Time Graphing possible with Zabbix?

[bubune]

Hi All,

I'm really new to Zabbix. I am considering installing Zabbix to monitor my network devices.

But can someone tell me if I can achieve real time graphing with Zabbix and if not what is the delay time in polling graphs.

Can it be the real time graphing solution in Linux?

Thank you all.

It kind of depends on your definition of 'real time'. Yes, data can be graphed on the fly, and yes, it can be seen as it comes in. But you have to define the update interval fro data to be gathered. If you select every 30 seconds, I'd say you're looking at somewhat realtime data.

Thanks Walter.

What i meant is if at any time "t" I click on a host or node to view its graph, I should be able to see the graph up to that time "t".

Is that achievable with Zabbix?

Yes. You won't see it moving, and if your update interval is x seconds then you might not see a maximum of x seconds before t (since teh update hasn't arrived yet ;) )
