Re: [Perfparse-users] Debugging perfparse?

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

Michael,

I can see no obvious reason for this.  Can I ask you to look at all 
parts.  Especially when the systems seems to stop.

Can you check that the file you are writing to is still being populated. 
   The lines being added are valid.  Please return a sample line to this 
mail thread.  Do you delete the file on each parse?  If not can you 
check your 'state' file contains valid data.  If so can you make sure 
that this stage is working correctly.

Can you complete the parse manually by extracting the command from your 
script:

$USER2=/perfparse/installation/directory
cat ${USER2}/var/perfdata-service.log | ${USER2}/bin/perfparse-log2db -s 
-r -c ${USER2}/etc/perfparse.cfg

You can add the flags '-s -r' which will give you extra verbose output. 
  If you run the parse manually, does this work?

Do you use MySQL for Nagios?  Do you run the check_mysql plugin from 
Nagios to monitor your database?  (You may need to symbolically link the 
mysql.sock to /tmp/mysql.sock for older plugin.)  Does this show the 
database in good state when data is not importing?

Please let me know,

Ben
