Re: [Perfparse-users] parsing of performance data

[Ben C. <BCl...@pe...>]

Jan,

If the single quotes are not present in the serviceperf.log then this is 
a bug with Nagios and should be reported to the nagios developers list.

I guess you are using the 'file' method of writing data from Nagios? 
The bug may not be present if you try another method of exporting the 
data.  See the documentation:

http://perfparse.sourceforge.net/docs.php

I would be interested in knowing from any other members whether they 
have this problem with any methods?

Kind regards,

Ben Clewett.
