What is the licensing/pricing for this integration?

This is a commercial extension with a Subscription license.

Is there any impact on Dynatrace licenses consumption?

Our extension has no impact on Dynatrace HU or DEM consumption. It has an impact on Davis Data Units consumption. Creating and refreshing the topology consumes DDUs. Each problem event synchronized from Nagios to Dynatrace consumes DDU. The extension may ingest the "Number of open problems" metric on every Nagios device into Dynatrace. But you may decide, whether you want to ingest this metric data into Dynatrace, or not.

A rough estimation of the amount of DDUs consumed by metric ingest per year can be obtained through the following formula:

(525.6 * number of problems / Dynatrace problem resend time [min]) +
(525.6 * number of Zabbix hosts * number of links to Nagios host groups per host / Refresh Nagios Host entities in Dynatrace [min]) +
(525.6 * number of synchronized Zabbix problems)

* An option from the extension’s configuration is marked in bold

Are there any configuration changes needed in Nagios?

No! All you need is to provide Nagios credentials in Integration configuration and that's it!

This Nagios integration looks very good, but we use different monitoring tool. Is it possible to integrate other tools into Dynatrace?

Of course! This monitoring consolidation concept is proven and will work with any monitoring tool.

Do you use Zabbix? Please check the Dynatrace Zabbix Integration.

If you use a different monitoring tool, let us know and we will be happy to look into it and discuss your options!
