Wilson, The odd characters in the log file must come from a Nagios plugin. Try running the command from the UNIX shell, does this give the same odd characters? It looks like you have a plugin which reports the binary data it finds on a TCP port, or something similar. This is dangerous data to return from a plugin. If this is the case, you may consider writing an email to the author asking them to escape the binary data... You can disable performance data for a plugin (somewhere?) which you may consider for this one. Ben Wilson Pires Jr wrote: > Ben, > > I'm glad too! > > The server is the same. With -c option I can run the db update, but don't perfparse.sh, besides I have into perfparse.sh: > > BASE_DIR="/usr/local/nagios" > > But, actually, I have it working by copying perfparse.cfg to /usr/local/etc. > > OTOH, I have a new problem. I have graphs from some plugins, but I use check_tcp on port 23 to monitor Telnet.
