Re: [Perfparse-users] PerfParse doesnt create images/graphs

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

The problem is not with nrpe, nrpe simply allows you to safely run
nagios commands on other servers than the one nagios is running on,
and transfer the output to nagios. You will need to check each and
every server to see if the commands that nrpe runs on these servers
output perfdata.
so ...
Step 1: check configuration files on the Nagios server and make a list
of servers and the commands that nrpe runs on them.
Step 2: on each of these servers, run the actual command (not nrpe)
and check the output for perfdata.
Step 3: upgrade the commands on each server if necessary.

hope this helps.
