RE: [Perfparse-users] new to perfmon

[Arnar T. <ar...@ca...>]

ok I changed  part in perfparse.sh from --delete to
--delete-service-log.

But I still dont get anything in the DB.

When I run /usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse -r binary manually I get no
output to screen, Is that normal ?  Also when I do perfpase --help there
is that line at the bottom that says:
    ...snip...
    Using default configuration file
    '//usr/local/nagios/etc/perfparse.cfg'

That extra 'slash' there at the begining of the path... is that suppost
to be there ?


Here is the output from perfparse --show_config if that helps:
[nagios@black148 var]$  /usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse  --show_config
