RE: [Perfparse-users] Odd and lack graphs [Was: Cannot run db-tool update [was: nagios restarti

Yves,

The xpdfile_service_perfdata_template is correct. I have graphs for some =
plugins, but not to check_tcp. I don't know why there isn't the "|" in =
my old message, but check_tcp brings perfdata, as you can see:

[root@genesis var]# ../libexec/check_tcp -H 10.109.29.2 -p 23
TCP OK - 0.089 second response time on port 23 [        =
B=C3=87j=E2=98=BA@=E2=96=91=E2=95=9D] |time=3D88581us;0;0;0;10000

How could I check why the data aren't being imported?

Regards,

Wilson
