Re: [Perfparse-users] hostperf.log and nagios sighup on perfparse.sh execution

[Ben C. <Be...@cl...>]

Ricardo,

The hostperf.log is not used in any way.  This program only processes 
the performance data from the plugin, and records it's output and return 
value on each run.

There is an option to delete this file which is present for convenience 
only.

Sorry about the restart.  You can delay PerfParse to every few minute if 
you prefer.  There is a permanent fix for this problem currently in 
development where you will not have to restart Nagios in this way more 
than once a day, and get data within seconds of Nagios publishing it.

I hope you enjoy using it.  Please let us know if there is anything we 
can do, or anything you believe must be included before we get to 
version 1.0.0.

Regards, Ben Clewett.
