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

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

Here is my config for my nagios_perfparse.cfg.  I only use the =
process-service one because I have no need to graph host data.  For the =
host one, instead of adding SERVICE you add HOST to each variable.  I =
have only tested this with a few plugins (check_load check_disk) but it =
seems to work for those and I am able to get a graph back.  As I add-in =
more checks I will let you know if I run into any problems.

define command{
        command_name    process-service-perfdata
        command_line    =
/usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl =
/usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata-service.log "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" =
"$SERVICEDESC$" "$SERVICEOUTPUT$" "$SERVICESTATE$" "$SERVICEPERFDATA$"
        }=20

The document you mention I believe is:

http://wiki.perfparse.org/tiki-index.php?page=3DBuildingMethod4Example

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.

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.
