[Perfparse-users] Perfparse-log2db method 2

[Tim W. <tim...@pi...>]

All,

I tried to get "method 2" to work, as described in the install_guide found
in the /doc directory.
After a few hours getting nowhere, I found out a small but important detail.
The doc reads:
<quote>
Method 2 : Launch perfparse-log2db
Edit misccommands.cfg and add the following :

define command{
        command_name    process-service-perfdata
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b"
"$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPUT$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$PERFDATA$" |
$USER2$/bin/perfparse-log2db -c $USER2$/etc/perfparse.cfg
        }
</quote>

Unfortunately, the 'printf' command is missing a '\n' causing pp to never
store the line. The correct entry is:

define command{
        command_name    process-service-perfdata
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b"
"$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPUT$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$PERFDATA$\n"
| $USER2$/bin/perfparse-log2db -c $USER2$/etc/perfparse.cfg
        }

Happy perfparsing....
Tim
