Re: [Perfparse-users] Perfparse Configuration Issues

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

Florian,

Thanks a bunch, I actually found the information after scouring the user
list archives.  It was indeed the illegal macro characters, after
modifying those everything began picking up.  Perfparse seems to be up
and graphing perfectly now, but I appreciate your assistance
nonetheless.

Cheers,

E. Russell

Hi,

the perfparse wiki has moved to http://perfparse.de because someone=20

For your remaining problem: remove the ' from the=20
illegal_macro_output_chars in your nagios config. See also=20
