Re: [Perfparse-users] Not finding hostgroups or hosts in nagios
|

There are some different possibilities how to setup perfparse. One is to
give perfparse the data via the nagios command, one is to let perfparse
read the nagios perfdata log constantly and one is to let nagios write
to a named pipe and perfparse reads that pipe. All have its pros and
cons. As far as i can see you have mixed the pipe way with the second
way and you tried to look at the stats with the first way.
The easiest way to setup is to use the first way. Just try to change the
nagios command to use perfparse_nagios_command.pl (not
perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl), and if your database connection works
it should all work - if not, try to undo config file changes.
If you encounter performance problems with this way, you should try the
pipe thing - read the docs for that.
