Re: [Perfparse-users] Install with Nagios 2.0b4

[Pavol L. <pavol.luptak@i.cz>]

Hello,
I use Nagios 2.0b4 with perfparse through a pipe without any problem.

Use the following configuration:

1. Nagios 2.0b4

..
..

process_performance_data=1 

host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata 

service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata 



define command{ 

         command_name    process-service-perfdata 

         command_line 
/usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl /
usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata-service.pipe "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" 
"$SERVICEDESC$" "$SERVICEOUTPUT$" "$SERVICESTATE$" "$SERVICEPERFDATA$" 

         } 

 

define command{ 

         command_name    process-host-perfdata 

         command_line 
/usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl /
usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata-host.pipe "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" 
"$HOSTOUTPUT$" "$HOSTPERFDATA$" 

         } 


..
..

2. # cat perfparse.cfg

Server_Port =                1976
Service_Log =             "|/usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata-service.pipe"
Service_Log_Position_Mark_Path =    "/usr/local/nagios/var"
Error_Log =                  "/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse.log"
Error_Log_Rotate =           "Yes"
Error_Log_Keep_N_Days =      "7"
Drop_File =                  "/tmp/perfparse.drop"
Drop_File_Rotate =           "Yes"
Drop_File_Keep_N_Days =      "7"
Lock_File = "/var/lock/perfparse.lock"
Show_Status_Bar = "no"
Do_Report =      "no"
Default_user_permissions_Policy = "rw"
Default_user_permissions_Host_groups = "rw"
Default_user_permissions_Summary = "rw"
Output_Log_File =                "no"
Output_Log_Filename = 
"/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse_output_log"
Output_Log_Rotate =              "yes"
Output_Log_Keep_N_Days =         "7"
Use_Storage_Socket_Output =         "no"
Storage_Socket_Output_Host_Name =   "localhost"
Storage_Socket_Output_Port =        "1974"
Storage_Modules_Dir = "/usr/local/nagios/lib"
Storage_Modules_Load = "mysql"
Server_Port =                    "1976"
Use_Storage_Mysql =              "yes"
No_Raw_Data =                    "no"
No_Bin_Data =                    "no"
DB_User =                    "nagios"
DB_Name =                    "user"
DB_Pass =                    "name"
DB_Host =                    "localhost"
Dummy_Hostname =             "dummy"

3. # cat /usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl

#! /usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
my $file = shift @ARGV;
open FH, ">$file" or die "'$file' could not be opened for appending\n";
print FH join("\t", @ARGV);
print FH "\n";
close FH;
system ('/usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse-log2mysql --serviceperf-log 
/usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata-service.pipe');

----
And it will certainly work!

Cheers,

Pavol
