RE: [Perfparse-users] Problems processing serviceperf.log

[Kemp, D. <Dar...@xe...>]

Eureka, I have graphs!

For some reason my nagios binary wasn't happy, I verified it had been =
built with -with-file-perfdata in config.status, and also verified it =
was on in process info. (in fact I could see the perfdata in the details =
for the appropriate services) With lack of any better ideas I recompiled =
NAGIOS with the following:

./configure  --with-nagios-user=3Dnagios --with-nagios-group=3Dnagios =
--with-file-perfdata --with-perlcache

And reinstalled the binary, now I was getting logfiles.

However, you should make a note for 2.0a users, the proper syntax for =
the perf data template is:

xpdfile_host_perfdata_template=3D$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$HOSTOUTPUT$\t$HOST=
PERFDATA$
xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=3D$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$=
SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$

Thanks so much for everyones help, if you guys need a Solaris guinea pig =
to test anything just drop me a note.

Darren,

Just to make sure:  You have compiled Nagios to use the performance=20
method of 'file'?

Eg, something like:

./configure --with-file-perfdata

In my nagios.cfg I now have the following entries:

#service_perfdata_command=3Dprocess-service-perfdata
xpdfile_service_perfdata_file=3D/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log
xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=3D$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$=
OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$

Please ensure similar entries are similar.  Especially the last line=20
which must be identical.

You should now have a file with performance data waiting for PerfParse =
:)
