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

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

O.K. let's try:

- do you have perfparsed running?
- you can check the error log. In your config it is set to
"perfparse.log". Use a absolute path if you cannot find that file.
- Is /usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata.dat a pipe? If it is a file,
it will not work. move the file away. As far as i remember perfparsed
recreates the pipe at startup.

Here's my config of a testing system:

Nagios command:

        command_line
/usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl /usr/local/nagios/va
r/serviceperf.log "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$"
"$SERVICEOUTPUT$" "$SERVICESTATE$" "$SERVI
CEPERFDATA$"
        }

perfparse.cfg:

Service_Log =                "|/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log"
Service_Log_Position_Mark_Path = "no"
Error_Log =                  "/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse.log"
Error_Log_Rotate =           "Yes"
Drop_File =                  "/tmp/perfparse.drop"
Drop_File_Rotate =           "Yes"

Lock_File = "/var/lock/perfparse.lock"

Nagios_Lock = "/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock"


Show_Status_Bar = "no"

Do_Report =      "no"


Default_user_permissions_Policy = "rw"
Default_user_permissions_Host_groups = "rw"


Output_Log_File =                "yes"
Output_Log_Filename =
"/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse_output_log"
Output_Log_Rotate =              "yes"

No_Raw_Data =                    "no"
No_Bin_Data =                    "no"

DB_User =                    "nagiostat"
DB_Name =                    "nagiostat"
DB_Pass =                    "nagiostat"
DB_Host =                    "127.0.0.1"


This is my perfparsed startfile:

#! /bin/sh
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:       perfparsed
# Required-Start:       $local_fs $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:

### END INIT INFO


PPPIPE=/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log

case "$1" in
    start)
        if [ -f $PPPIPE ] ; then
          echo "creating pipe"
          mv $PPPIPE ${PPPIPE}.old
          mkfifo $PPPIPE
          chown nagios2:nagios2 $PPPIPE
          APPLY_OLD_DATA=1
        fi
        echo "Starting perfparsed"
        /usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparsed -d
        if [ "$APPLY_OLD_DATA" ] ; then
          echo "applying old data"
          cat ${PPPIPE}.old >> $PPPIPE
        fi
        ;;
    stop)
        killproc perfparsed
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
        exit 1
