perfparse-users — Problems using PerfParse

RE: [Perfparse-users] Log rotate

[Ben C. <BC...@pa...>]

I'm running the latest PP and see the same thing:

# set Output_Log_File to "yes" to enable it
Output_Log_File =                "no"
Output_Log_Filename =
"/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse_output_log"
Output_Log_Rotate =              "yes"
Output_Log_Keep_N_Days =         "7"


Last week I created 2 cron jobs to deal with it:

# remove any perfparse error files in /usr/local/nagios/var
1 0 * * *  find /usr/local/nagios/var -name 'perfparse_err*' -ctime +1 -exec
rm -f {} \;

# remove perfparse files in /tmp
5 0 * * *  find /tmp -name 'perfparse.drop*' -ctime +2 -exec rm -f  {} \;
2>/dev/null

Subject: [Perfparse-users] Log rotate


Hi List!

I use PP 0.105.6 on Debian Woody 3.1.

I have the following settings in perparse.cfg:
Error_Log = "/var/log/perfparse/perfparse.log"
Error_Log_Rotate = "Y"
Error_Log_Keep_N_Days = "7"

Despite the above settings I have old files in /var/log/perfparse/
directory. The oldest ones are those which were created when I installed PP:

perfparse.log.20050518.log
perfparse.log.20050519.log
...


I think the older than 7 day files have to be removed. Am I wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Tamas!

[Perfparse-users] limit of number of metrics processed

[Garrett H. <gh...@3g...>]

I am using check_mysql which returns 8 different metrics; however,
perfparse only shows the first 3. Any ideas on how to get perfparse to
return perf data for all metrics that a plugin returns?

Re: [Perfparse-users] Perfparse graph scale problem

[Ben C. <bcl...@pe...>]

Ben,

The code for this may be found in the function 'drawYScale()'.  Look for 
line 1031 in file cgi/perfchart.c.

[Perfparse-users] Perfparse graph scale problem

[Ben C. <BC...@pa...>]

Hi Folks,

I'm using Nagios + Perfparse to graph bytes/sec on some of my networking
equipment (T1 speed).  It seems that when the data value goes over a certain
number (100,000??) that the Perfparse graphs switch to using exponents on
the Y-axis.  So right now for my T1 usage of about 138785 (bytes/sec)
Perfparse displays this value as 1.80+e05 on the chart, it doesn't read
very well.

Is there any way to change this so that the actual value stored in the Db is
displayed in the graph?


Thanks,

Ben

Re: [Perfparse-users] First time install - some questions on options

[abo <ab...@br...>]

is your error log complaining about something?
/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse.log

i had problems setting up mysql permissions and didn't notice it until i
saw that file.

[Perfparse-users] First time install - some questions on options

[Richard D. <de...@ya...>]

I have been running Nagios 1.2 and want to add
perfparse to get the stats it can provide.  I am
setting up a new host for better performance on RHES4,
with MySQL version 4.1.7.  I reconfigured and
installed a new Nagios with --with-file-perfdata and
attempted to install the first way I found "Periodic
Nagios Log Parse".   I had a few problems with needing
to touch the error log file the first time, and
setting up correctly in the config the
"Storage_Modules_Load = mysql" which it now seems to
recognize (initially it complained about no storage
modules until this was fixed).   I have a
/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log that Nagios is
updating.  So here are the problems and questions:

1.  The MySQL database does not update still.  How can
I debug this better - or any suggestions?
2.  I started with the install using the first listed
as the "default".  I read the list and see that others
seem to go with pipe and perfparsed options.  Anyone
set up on RHES and using any other option?  

I am intereseted in a long term use with perfparse and
am at a point that I can go forward with what I have
if it is the best, or rebuild this new host before it
goes into production with a different approach.  
Anyone's input is welcome about how I can get the
MySQL issue resolved and how to best complete which
setup.   

I am including below my current setup for review and
comment/suggestions.

Cheers,

Richard

[Perfparse-users] AW: [Nagios-users] huge performance problems, nagios perparse

[Sand P. <Phi...@sy...>]

I'm not using the perfparse pipe method, but I think this may bet he =
reason for your latency. As far as I understood, the pipe method is not =
suiteable when you have a lot of performance data, because for every =
data it opens a new process, when you haven't configured Nagios with =
embedded perl and perlcache.
Maybe you should try out another method. I'm running perfparse with the =
"Periodic Nagios Log Parse" with about 2000 Service checks...

[Perfparse-users] RE: [Nagios-users] huge performance problems, nagios perparse

[Mieden, R. v. d. <ric...@or...>]

All,

I've solved my performance problems. It was caused by the performance
data in combination with perfparse. When I stopped the performance data
I reached a latency of 0,4 sec.=20
Of course the question is why......

Below my configuration related to perfparse and performance data. Any
remarks on anything what I did wrong and could cause the heavy
performance load would be nice. I also add-ed the perparse-users list,
perhaps somebody from that list can have a look at it?

Regards

Rick

Hi,

nearly the same on our side. Nagios with 1900 Services runs with max.
2-4 seconds Latency. But beware if you want more...

I heard from this people too which have more than 2000 Services but most
of them are doing a kind of distributed monitoring I think.

Regards,
Hendrik

[Perfparse-users] three graphs in one

[abo <ab...@br...>]

hi!
is there a way to display one graph with three (or more) sources?

the most obvious example is the cpu system/user/idle graph.

any hint?

thx in advance

[Perfparse-users] perfparse and check_nt

[Garrett H. <gh...@3g...>]

I have perfparse running great with nagios 1.2 reading from a named
pipe; however, my windows hosts' checks that are checked with check_nt
are not showing up. When I run the command from the nagios machine I see
that check_nt does in fact return perf data.

[root@nagios etc]# ../libexec/check_nt -H windowsbox -p 1248 -v
USEDDISKSPACE -l C -w 50% -c 60%

C:\ - total: 9.79 Gb - used: 4.60 Gb (47%) - free 5.19 Gb (53%) | 'C:\
Used Space'=4.60Gb;4.89;5.87;0.00;9.79

Is there an issue with the way the format that the perf data is being
returned that is causing perfparse from adding this to its database?

I am using PerfParse 0.105.6. Schema Version 0.19, check_nt 1.39 (from
the nagios-plugins-1.4 distro)

Many Thanks,

[Perfparse-users] simplest test?

[Angel B. <ab...@he...>]

hi!

im trying to configure perfparse with nagios 2.0b3. im redirecting it to a file with this command:

define command{
        command_name    process-service-perfdata
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$\n" >> /usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata/process-service-perfdata.out
}

then i tail -f this file and see lot of stuff going in, so im pretty sure nagios IS producing performance data.

now what is the simplest test i can perform to see if perfparse is well configured?

i've tried with perfparse-log2stdout with various parameters but no output is produced.

is perfparse-log2stdout supossed to send something to STDOUT?

thx

[Perfparse-users] simplest way to change hostname

[Sand P. <Phi...@sy...>]

Hi,

what's the easiest way to change a hostname in perfparse? I have to =
change a Hostname in Nagios, and don't want to "lose" the link between =
those two hostnames in perfparse (unfortunately the old hostname will be =
given to a new host...)

I think it must be done with some SQL Statements... in which tables do I =
have to rename the host, do I have to watch for some traps (i.e. some =
foreign keys or something)?

Thanks in advance,
Philipp

[Perfparse-users] Re: Nagios 2.0 and PerfParse

[<nu...@ts...>]

Without looking at the Docs as to which method is method1, I have Nagios 
2.x and PerfParse working.

Entry in command.cfg

define command{
        command_name    process-service-perfparse
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" 
"$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$\n" 
| $USER2$/bin/perfparse-log2mysql -c $USER2$/etc/perfparse.cfg
        }

[Perfparse-users] Nagios 2.0 and PerfParse

[David G. <dgu...@sy...>]

Has anyone gotten PerfParse to work with Nagios 2.0 using method #1?  I had
this working under Nagios 1.2.  It looks like 2.0 outputs a differently
formatted text file by default.

 

Is it recommended to use one of the other PerfParse methods instead?

 

Thanks,

Does anyone have a list of what is required before I can compile perfparse
on a Solaris 9 server?

[Perfparse-users] Logging all $ for values in database

[Vern K. <VK...@ch...>]

All:

I have been trying to integrate perfparse into nagios 2.0b3, and am running
into issues with the data collection.  While I am able to get information
into the database now, all values are logged as $.  I am at a loss to
troubleshoot what it is happening, because I do not see a good way to insert
additional logging in the process to see where I am losing the values.  I'm
hoping I have overlooked some configuration issue and it is an easy fix.  If
anyone could offer advise, I would appreciate it.

Here is my configuration:

Nagios 2.0b3 -- Configured to support the pipe option as per the perfparse
documentation.
nagios-plugins-1.4
perfparse-0.105.6
mysql-4.1.12

Everything above was compiled from source, running on x86 RedHat ES 3 Update 4
As for the initial configuration, I basically followed:

http://wiki.perfparse.org/tiki-index.php?page=Example+for+configuration+with+a+pipe

except changed everything to use /usr/local/nagios directory.

My perfparsed config is below.

Thanks,

Vern
