[Perfparse-users] No data in serviceperf.log file.

Marcelo,

Thanks for the information.

First, can I suggest you upgrade perfparse to the latest version,  0.05. 
  The version you have has a memory problems.

More importantly, your nagios is not producing performance data.  Can 
you please check for me:

1. You are using the latest Nagios, 1.2.

2. You are using the latest nagios plugins.  Only these produce 
performance data.  You can check this by running one, like 'check_disk'. 
  If you have performance data, this should reply:

DISK OK - free space: / 8089 MB (22%); /boot 35 MB (76%) | 
/=8089MB;33312;35163;0;37014 /boot=34MB;40;42;0;45

You can see the performance data beyond the '|'.

3. You have compiled nagios with the option to produce performance data. 
  Using the '--with-file-perfdata'.  Ie:

./configure --with-file-perfdata

4. Set the permissions on the servicelog file as -rw-rw-r-- ie:
$ chmod 664 serviceperf.log

5. Check 'nagios.cfg', ensure you have these lines somewhere:

process_performance_data=1
xpdfile_host_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/hostperf.log
xpdfile_host_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$
xpdfile_service_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log
xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$

Regard, Ben
