Edit nagios.cfg. Do you have this ? If not, update, and restart nagios: xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=3D$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$= OUTPUT$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$PERFDATA$ I think this will do nothing anyways, when I see check_tcp output. There = is no "|" character that mean perfdata following that character. In that case, either check_tcp does not send perf data, or check_tcp is b= roken. Have you already run check_tcp in an xterm to see the output ? (check_tcp= --help for help) I have no other idea. Yves > Ben, > > running the command from shell the result is the same.
