[Perfparse-users] Undocumented Nagios Feature

[Cook, G. <GW...@ma...>]

I've come across an undocumented (at least I have not seen it anywhere)
Nagios feature in a thread on the Nagios Users mailing list.
Running Nagios with the '-m' argument will show you some information
about how Nagios was compiled/configured, including Performance Data and
whether or not it is compiled with the file based method or default.

I should add this to the web site docs, it could be useful for
troubleshooting PP.

From the thread that I've seen, this feature does not appear to be
available in Nagios 2.0. :(

Example Output:

/usr/local/nagios/etc: sudo ../bin/nagios -m nagios.cfg =20

Nagios 1.2
