[Perfparse-users] perfparse.sh causing nagios 2.0a1 to die?

[Steve F. <sf...@uc...>]

I just moved up to Nagios 2.0a1 at the same time that I installed 
PerfParse. After running perfparse.sh in my nagios user's crontab every 
10 minutes for a couple of nights, I have noticed that Nagios seems to 
stop firing off checks at some point. It seems to happen within a few 
hours of starting up the crons and does not seem to happen if I disable 
the perfparse.sh check. I get the feeling it has something to do with 
sending the HUP to Nagios or having a lock file clobbered or something. 
I havent had a chance to really dig into it, but the nagios logs dont 
seem to say much...just silent stopping (but the main process remains 
running). Anyone seen something like this before?

FYI, my perfparse.sh settings are:

BASE_DIR="/opt/nagios2"
PERFPARSE="${BASE_DIR}/bin/perfparse"
LOG="${BASE_DIR}/var/perfparse.log"
TMP_LOG="/tmp/perfparse.${$}.log"
TMP_ERR="/tmp/perfparse.${$}.err"
PERF_FILE="/opt/nagios2/var/serviceperf.log"

My perfparse.cfg file settings are:
# Performance Data Log Files:
Drop_File="/tmp/perfparse.drop"
Service_Log="/opt/nagios2/var/serviceperf.log"

# Deletion of log file when perfparse runs.
Delete_Log =     "No"
Nagios_Lock="/opt/nagios2/var/nagios.lock"

# Drop file for lines of log rejected:
Host_Log="/opt/nagios2/var/hostperf.log"

# Reporting options:
# Do not display completion status of perfparse:
Be_Silent =      "no"

# Display a report on exit of perfparse:
Do_Report =      "no"

# Lock file for only one perfparse running at the same time
Lock_File = "/opt/nagios2/var/perfparse.lock"
