[Perfparse-users] Nagios 1.X and PIPE

[Michael G. <mic...@pa...>]

Hello,

I have complied nagios 1.2 with --with-default-perfdata --enable-
embedded-perl --with-perlcache

I then complied perfparse 0.105.6

I want nagios to feed perfparse via a PIPE since that seemed like the
best option.

In my nagios.cfg file I have the following:
cfg_file=/home/mgale/downloads/network-
monitor/netmonitorbase/etc/nagios_perfparse.cfg
process_performance_data=1
host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata
service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

In perfparse I have:
Service_Log = "|/home/mgale/downloads/network-
monitor/netmonitorbase/var/serviceperf.log"

And I setup the DB area:
DB_User =                    "perfpase_user"
DB_Name =                    "perfpasedb"
DB_Pass =                    "perfuser"
DB_Host =                    "127.0.0.1"

In my resource.cfg file I provided $USER2$ with the path if the
perfparse install.

I added this to my nagios_perfparse.cfg file:
define command{
        command_name    process-service-perfdata
        command_line    $USER2$/bin/perfparse_nagios_command.pl $USER2
$/var/serviceperf.log "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" "$OUTPUT$"
"$SERVICESTATE$" "$PERFDATA$"
        }

Now in my .../path/var directory where all the nagios logs and perfparse
logs are setup there is a serviceperf.log what is incrementing with all
the data:

But nothing is being added to the database ... and there are no reports.
Now I have only started the Nagios process. I do not have to start any
perfparse process because it is feed with a PIPE ?

Have been going through the online documentation for a few hours trying
to figure this out ... 

Thanks.

Michael.
