Sorry, I missed that.  This used to be called 'Method 1', it seems I am e=

confused!  If you'll forgive me...

I don't use Nagios 2.  There may be somebody on this list who does and ca=
n
give better advise.

If there isn't then you are looking at a new port for PerfParse and this
method.  It seems like you have found some significant differences betwee=
n the
two versions.

I am glad to see you are nearly there.  May I please ask you document the
differences between Nagios 1.2 and Nagios 2, so that we can update our
documentaion.

I don't know what the xpd stands for.  Possibly eXternal Performance Dump=
?  If
you find out, let me know :)

Best of luck with getting this method working,

Ben.
