[Perfparse-devel-int] perfparse.sh and perfparse_daemon.sh : obsolete, unsupported or live ?

[Yves <yme...@pe...>]

Hi !

There are 2 scripts perfparse.sh and perfparse_daemon.sh in the perfparse=
 project.
Are they working ? Are they supported ? Are they obsolete ? Should they b=
e removed ?

perfparse_daemon.sh
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
It's in the contrib/ directory. I consider that everything in contrib/ is=
 unsupported.
We can update things in contrib/ ourselves, but it's like a place to put =
things that we
don't use and cannot support easily.

perfparse_daemon.sh was made before perfparsed. Now, we have perfparsed t=
hat does better
work than perfparse_daemon.sh and perfparse-log2mysql combined.
I think that perfparse_daemon.sh should be removed, even if it seems to w=
ork and to be
up to date :)
It's better to force users who are running perfparse_daemon.sh to use per=
fparsed. Of
course, they can keep their script if they want.

perfparse.sh
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D

This script contains a reference to nagios lock. For that reason, I consi=
der it as
obsolete. But it is in perfparse/ directory so we have to consider it as =
supported. A
decision has to be taken here : remove it or update it quick ? :)

In the doc, perfparse.sh is used in the crontab, to call perfparse-log2*
We now have perfparsed, but perfparsed does not do exactly the same job.
Users who are running perfparse.sh with a "* * * * *" scheduling should u=
se perfparsed.
Users who are running perfparse.sh every 10 minutes or every hour or ever=
y day cannot
use perfparsed for that. Those users can run perfparse-log2* with the -c =
option
(configuration file). Should we provide a script that just does it ?
Decision to be taken :
- do we update perfparse.sh and support it ?
- do we remove perfparse.sh from perfparse ?
- do we update perfparse.sh and move it to contrib/ (in order to say that=
 we don't
support it) ?

Your opinion... ?
