RES: [Perfparse-users] nagios restarting

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Recompile perfparse according to the instructions:

./configure \
            --prefix=3D/usr/local/nagios \
            --with-imagedir=3D/usr/local/nagios/share/images/ \
            --with-cgidir=3D/usr/local/nagios/sbin \
            --with-http_image_path=3D/nagios/images

(Of course, I'm assuming that you've got nagios in /usr/local/nagios.)

This way, perfparse.cfg will be installed at /usr/local/nagios/etc.
