Please tell us the version number. For example, for nagios, the latest is=
 nagios-2.0b2

I don't know much about nagios-2.X so it will be only generic comments...

This should be
Service_Log "|/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log"

Why put "bin/perfparse.sh" inside ?

Here you use "/usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata-service.log"

perfparse does not parse perfdata from hosts yet, so don't spend too much=
 on this :)

You must run perfparse before nagios. Perfparse can create the fifo itsel=
f, and
complains if it cannot. No complains if the file already exists as a fifo=
.

I guess that  /usr/local/nagios/var exists as a directory. If yes, good, =
and no idea why
it does not work. If not, create it.


Well, the only thing I can say is to use /usr/local/nagios/var/serviceper=
f.log
everywhere. Check your settings :)
