[Perfparse-users] Perfparse Configuration Issues

[Ethan R. <eth...@fg...>]

Update on Configuration Issues:

1.  SOLVED - Perfparse Images not loading properly: Didn't have libgd
installed properly.

2.  SOLVED - Pipe to mySQL method not working: After going over this
again I realized I was going about it the wrong way, changed
configuration so Nagios invokes perfparse and everything is updating
fine now.

3.  PROBLEM - Plugin Output Issue: After changing the macro definitions
in my process-service-perfdata command to match the names Nagios is now
using, (i.e. $SERVICEOUTPUT$ and $SERVICEPERFDATA$) I am now able to see
the results from the plugins when I view raw plugin data.  The only
hitch here is that Perfparse is not recognizing any of the binary data
for any of my Windows servers I am monitoring with NSClient++ 0.2.7
2007-03-06.  Perfparse does, however, recognize binary data from the
localhost as well as a couple of switches I am monitoring via SNMP.

4.  SOLVED - Broken formatting in View/Edit Host Groups Page: I'm still
unsure as to how this came about, but dropping the DB in mysql and
rebuilding it seems to have corrected the problem.

In short, the only problem I have left is getting perfparse to recognize
the binary output from the NSClient++ plugin on my monitored Windows
servers.  I seem to recall having to remove a certain character from the
illegal_macro_characters setting in nagios.cfg in the past, but for the
life of me I can't seem to find anything on this.  Any help would be
most appreciated.

Cheers,

P.S. My apologies for the horrible formatting yesterday, my brain was
perfparsed out and I was a bit too hasty with Outlook using HTML format.
