[Question] Can nagflux and pnp4nagios use same spool folder / perf data ? #39

In the manual setup instructions - https://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Documentation/Nagios-with-InfluxDB,-nagflux-and-Grafana/details, I can see there are additional steps to make a copy of the spool folder so that pnp4nagios and nagflux use different folders.

Whereas when enabling the nagflux using latest version of omd (omd config set NAGFLUX on), I can see that both pnp4nagios and nagflux are using the same spool folders and both the graphs are working fine.
Can nagflux and pnp4nagios use same spool folder ?

They can use both the same folder but they should not run at the same time. Each tool deletes the spoolfiles after the read, therefore only Nagflux or PNP4Nagios receives the data.

If you want to use both, copy the data to two different directories, where each tool can collect the spoolfiles.
