RE: [Perfparse-users] Perparse Method 4 (pipe)

[Tong Y. <To...@in...>]

Thanks. Just want to say that someone posted a link to a document on =
installing Perfparse with the pipe method and I followed the =
instructions contained there and it works perfectly.  So if anyone is =
having problems they should have a look at that link.  It was posted =
within the last two days I believe.  The subject line is Good =
Documentation or something similar.
=20
And someone posted that they are getting perfdata written to the =
perfdata-service.log in the form of $ signs.  I would guess that you are =
using Nagios 2.0..  The variables $PERFDATA$ and one other has changed =
to $SERVICEPERFDATA$ and so forth..  Check out the documentation for =
Nagios 2.0 or the sample config files.  One of them contains the changes =
made to the variables.

If you are running nagios-1.2, yes, this is by design.
Perfparsed reads from a pipe, and creates it if necessary. If you run =
nagios-1.2 before,
it will write to whatever the file is, and if it does not exist, write a =
new file.
If the design was to run perfparsed after nagios, you would loose the =
data written in
that file, or have perfparsed block because of that regular file.
