[Perfparse-users] simplest test?

[Angel B. <ab...@he...>]

hi!

im trying to configure perfparse with nagios 2.0b3. im redirecting it to a file with this command:

define command{
        command_name    process-service-perfdata
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$\n" >> /usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata/process-service-perfdata.out
}

then i tail -f this file and see lot of stuff going in, so im pretty sure nagios IS producing performance data.

now what is the simplest test i can perform to see if perfparse is well configured?

i've tried with perfparse-log2stdout with various parameters but no output is produced.

is perfparse-log2stdout supossed to send something to STDOUT?

thx
