Q: what method are you using? http://perfparse.sourceforge.net/docs.php

A: I think the method used be the sequent:=20
Nagios Invokes Perfparse
Description:
When you compile Nagios, don't specify --with-file-perfdata but =
--with-default-perfdata. Then create a Nagios command to run=20

perfparse-log2mysql every time a log is generated.=20

We defined a shell script wich read from a file and send a kill signal =
to nagios to reset its log. This is the content of the script executed =
in crontab every 10 minutes: perfparse.sh
