[Perfparse-users] No data in PP dbs

[Horvath T. <zs...@ax...>]

Hi List!

I installed PP 0.105.6 with method#3. I have Nagios 1.2 on Debian Woody 3.1.

I think I did everything which were in the documentation. I dig in the FAQ
about this issue and did what it suggested (remove ' from
illegal_macro_output_chars directive).

I have no data in my DBS.

I have some questions:

1. There are some directive (fe: Error_Log_Rotate = "Y"), for which the
pattern before it suggests "Y" or "N". However in the original example cfg
file their values are "no" or "yes". Which are the correct?

2. I don't know exactly how to interpret the No_Raw_Data and the No_Bin_Data
directives. I think if their values are "N" then raw and binary data is
written to the database. Is it correct?

3. How can I interpret the History_Start_Tm = "-86400" and the
History_End_Tm = "-30" directives?

I found that when I run "perfdata-log2mysql --show_config" command there
would be an entry int he Error_Log file, which says: mysql module
successfully loaded. But no data in my DBS. It seems to me, that Nagios does
not run process-service-perfdata command.

I inlcuded my perfdata.cfg - it was created with the "perfdata-log2mysql
--show_config" command.

Any help, suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanky in advance!

Bye, Tamas!
