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

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

The document you mention I believe is:

http://wiki.perfparse.org/tiki-index.php?page=BuildingMethod4Example

Supplied kindly by Alex Peeters.

If you have found this useful, I'll link this from our FAQ.

Thanks for the advise on Nagios 2.x.  PerfParse is not 'officially' able 
to read this, but only because I don't use Nagios 2.x and I have yet to 
get back comments about how this works.

I am after any such comments in order to update our documentation, so 
thanks for your observations.  Would you have a tested example of a 
configuration?

Regards,

Ben.

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.

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.
