In addition to the existing options

LI:Value LI:Unity of measurement LI:Warning threshold LI:Critical threshold LI:Minimum LI:Maximum

three new options have been added to the rule "Send metrics to Graphite/InfluxDB":

LI:State LI:Scheduled downtime depth LI:Acknowledged

When these options are activated, the corresponding parts of the service state are sent via the Graphite/InfluxDB interface, too. Note that these value are sent once per service, while the already existing options are per metric. To avoid a clash with existing metric names, the three new metric names all start with an equals sign, because due to the Nagios metric syntax, no metric can start with that character. In detail:

LI:=state: the current state of the service, 0/1/2/3 for OK/WARN/CRIT/UNKNOWN LI:=scheduled_downtime_depth: the number of downtimes the service is currently in LI:=acknowledged: whether the current problem, if any, has been acknowledged (0/1)

As an example, here the data sent to Graphite/InfluxDB for the "CPU load" service on host "myhost" when all options are enabled:

myhost.CPU_load.=state 0 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.=scheduled_downtime_depth 0 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.=acknowledged 0 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load1 1.05 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load1.warn 40 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load1.crit 80 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load1.min 0 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load1.max 8 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load5 0.75 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load5.warn 40 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load5.crit 80 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load5.min 0 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load5.max 8 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load15 0.71 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load15.warn 40 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load15.crit 80 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load15.min 0 1537170248
myhost.CPU_load.load15.max 8 1537170248
