Re: [Perfparse-users] swap performance data showing up as critical state

[Florian G. <fl...@bi...>]

Hi,

According to
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#THRESHOLDFORMAT
it should return:

SWAP OK - 100% free (973 MB out of 980 MB) |swap=973MB;@490;@245;0;980
and not
SWAP OK - 100% free (973 MB out of 980 MB) |swap=973MB;490;245;0;980

does pp already parse the "@"?
