[Perfparse-users] perfparse doesn't display hosts, services

[John C. <po...@ya...>]

Hi Gurus,

I'm trying to integrate PerfParse with Nagios. When I
access the PerfData Graphs page, I get the PerfParse
logo, but no hosts or services are listed. I read that
these fields should be auto-populated if the
performance data is being delivered correctly. As a
result, I suspect the performance data is not making
it all the way to PerfParse.

Nagios is logging performance data when I point it to
a file. But when I connect Nagios to PerfParse via a
pipe, I don't know how to check that the performance
data is going into the pipe or arriving in the MySQL
database. How do I "look" at the pipe? Or view the
contents of the 'perfparse' database in MySQL?

Any suggestions on what may be broken or how to
continue diagnosing the problem? TIA! -John

Additional Info:

Nagios 2.04b
PerfParse v0.105.6
SunOS 5.9 Generic_112233-12 Sun-Fire-880

It seems PerfParse can connect to the MySQL database:
/usr/local/nagios/bin/check_perfparse_version
OK Perfparse Database Version Correct: 0.19. |
pp_ver=0.19 true_ver=0.19

I start perfparsed first and it creates a pipe in
/usr/local/nagios/var:
prw-r-----   1 root     other          0 Sep 13 12:08
perfdata-service.log
...Then I start nagios and it seems to run fine,
perform checks, and provide the normal web interface.
