[Perfparse-users] Re: Make error

[Ben C. <Be...@cl...>]

Phillipp,

Great to hear you have installed MySQL 4.  This will make a difference.

I think perfparse has experienced a format of log file it can't=20
understand.  Can you look in nagios.cfg and find these lines:

process_performance_data=3D1
xpdfile_service_perfdata_file=3D/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log
xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=3D$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$=
OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$

These have to be exactly as above in this version of PerfParse.

If you really need a different format, I can show you how to change the=20
source code to accommodate your changes.

Regards, Ben.
