Veiko,

1. misccommands.cfg: Nagios doesn't really care in which file you
define things. So you can keep it in your nagios_perfparse.cfg file,
as long as it is read by Nagios (as you did).

2. the path to the pipe
This is $USER2$/var/perfdata-service.log ($USER2$ must be defined in
one of the nagios cfg files, and point to your perfparse installation
directory). In addition (I haven't checked if this was changed in
104.3) you should update perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl as shown
below, so that the file does not get created as a regular file before
perfparse can create it.

Tim

#! /usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
my $file = shift @ARGV;
die("Pipe $file not found!")  unless (-p $file);
open FH, ">$file" or die "'$file' could not be opened for appending\n";
print FH join("\t", @ARGV);
print FH "\n";
close FH;
