Re: [Perfparse-users] FIFO issues

[Florian G. <fl...@bi...>]

Hi,

the pipe method only works with the perfparse daemon (perfparsed) 
running as a background process. It cares about cleaning the pipe from 
outstanding data. If you want to use cron and perfparse-log2mysql to get 
the data into mysql periodically then you have to use a regular file.
The file seems to be a regular file too, because a pipe has 0 Bytes and 
a "p" in the permission strings. Example:
prw-r-----  1 nagios   nagios          0 Mar  1 10:49 serviceperf.log

http://perfparse.de/tiki-index.php?page=Minimal%20environment%20nagios%202.9%20and%20perfparsed%20reading%20from%20a%20pipe

is a example how to configure perfparsed and the pipe method.
