perfparse-users — Problems using PerfParse

[Perfparse-users] More information about Glibc error

[Paulo A. G. F. <pau...@de...>]

I've traced the problem with greater detail and found that the problem =
is at perf_get_next at log_parser.c file.

The problem occurs within these lines of code:

if(p1[0] =3D=3D '\'') {
                p1++;
                p2 =3D p1;
                /* Check length of label */
                while(p2[0] !=3D '\0') {
                        if((p2[0] =3D=3D '\\') && (p2[1] =3D=3D '\'')) {
                                p2++;
                        } else if((p2[0] =3D=3D '\\') && (p2[1] =3D=3D =
'\\')) {
                                p2++;
                        } else if(p2[0] =3D=3D '\'') {
                                break;
                        }
                        p2++;
                }
                if(p2[0] =3D=3D '\0') return(-2);
                if(p2[1] !=3D '=3D') return(-3);
                /* Reallocate memory for label if necessary */
                l =3D p2-p1;
                if(l>=3D p->label_len) {
                        p->label_len +=3D 20;

                        if(NULL =3D=3D p->label) return(-4);
                }

I've found a link =
(http://www.archivesat.com/Linux_C_programming/thread1222039.htm) which =
tells about some kind of programming error which "blows away bookkeeping =
of the memory allocator". In this case, is this a Perfparse bug or a =
glibc bug?

[Perfparse-users] Glibc error running perfparse-log2mysql

[Paulo A. G. F. <pau...@de...>]

Hello.

=20

All of a sudden, Perfparse stopped inserting data on its MySQL database. =
I'm using the first method (insert data from performance data file), and =
I'm inserting data using the perfparse.sh script provided by Perfparse..

=20

When I try to run it by hand, I get the following message:

=20

The problem occurs at "parse_and_store_perf_data_line" subroutine. I =
have made a step-by-step tracing which I post below:

I took a look into my glibc and it's outdated. Do you think updating =
glibc may solve the issue or is this a problem with perfparse itself?

Just to let you know i solved my little problem. It was an oversight on 
my own part. Apparently i had pieces of an apt-get install of nagios2 on 
my system
when i did the make install it had thrown in the mysql.so modules from 
perfparse into that folder instead of the source install i did of 
nagios2. For some reason the rest of the modules installed into the 
/usr/local/nagios folder however

Anyhow thanks again for all the help previously i really appreciated it.
So just a reference for apt users don't leave any remanants behind of 
nagios from apt

My last 3 ideas:

- remove unused config vars in your perfparse.cfg. I'm not sure - would
have to read the code - if config settings like
Storage_Socket_Output_Port =        "1974"
Server_Port =                    "1976"
overwrite the pipe settings.

- check if the plugins return performance data. Run them by hand. A
plugin that returns performance data should output things like this:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 5% -c 2% -p /
DISK OK - free space: / 360 MB (7% inode=-);| /=4643MB;4753;4903;0;5004
All after the "|" is performance data.

- Some nagios variables have changed. nagios 1.X had $OUTPUT$ and
$PERFDATA$ while they are renamed to $SERVICEOUTPUT$ and
$SERVICEPERFDATA$ in nagios 2.X. Unfortunately the perfparse docs are
old and badly maintained. Doublecheck your command definition. You could
also try to use the perfparse_nagios_command.pl to write to a file and
examine the file if it contains reasonable data.

Ok so obviously i can't get the piped way working. So... what i did is i 
just reconfigured EVERYTHING so i could do it with the default method or 
parsing the log file.

So i recompiled nagios --with-file-perfdata
then remade perfparse with the same data again
tossed in the default .cfg files from nagios and perfparse
so what i did this time instead is...

set the performancedata to 1 on nagios.cfg
added the following lines:

xpdfile_host_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/hostperf.log
xpdfile_host_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$

xpdfile_service_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log
xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPUT$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$PERFDATA$

change perfparse.cfg to have the following settings:

# Server managment (perfparsed only) :
# ====================================

Server_Port =                1976

# Parser managment :
# ==================

# Performance Data Log Files ("-" for stdin) :
Service_Log =                "/usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata.out"
Service_Log_Position_Mark_Path =    "/usr/local/nagios/var/rw"

# Error handling :
Error_Log =                  "perfparse.log"
Error_Log_Rotate =           "Yes"
Error_Log_Keep_N_Days =      "7"
Drop_File =                  "/tmp/perfparse.drop"
Drop_File_Rotate =           "Yes"
Drop_File_Keep_N_Days =      "7"

and the rest is the same as before.

i looked at the service-perfdata.out to make sure nagios was logging perf data and it is.

no i goto ../bin/perfparse-log2mysql -r
and i get:

+-----------------------------+   +-----------------------------+

Just like before.
I checked the logs and nothing.
Tho when i had the Mark_Path set to "-" it was complaining it wanted a 
write directory which i gave it and that error went away.
I mean i am doing it in the first method correct aren't i? cause i 
thought i was doing it correct in pipe method and that didn't work.
Anything obvious with like sql versions i should be aware of? I'm using 
mysql 5.5.032-7

Thanks Much,
James

Ok

I reset everything according to your specs

i noticed a couple of funny things.
The log file doesn't come out at perfparse.log
it comes out as perfparse.log.20070305.log
and perfparse.drop
come out as perfparse.drop.20070305.log

By the way i appreciate you helping out with this i'm sure you're pretty

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"

See i don't get how to check it then if i'm trying to do it the piped 
way. The install guide doesn't tell me anyway to check it except by 
running ./perfparse-log2mysql -r
I want to be able to get this thing to work with oreon and well i think 
if i can get it to work ANY WAY i'll be fine.

Here's what i've done for the configs
I have no idea how to check it besides going to the 
/cgi-bin/nagios/perfparse.cgi and checking it but according the the cgi 
it still isn't working
If you could give me some idea of how i can troubleshoot errors with 
this i'd be grateful. or highlight some trouble areas. This is me trying 
to set it up in pipe mode so if u can kinda guide me into pipe mode 
config that'd be great.

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

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

There are some different possibilities how to setup perfparse. One is to
give perfparse the data via the nagios command, one is to let perfparse
read the nagios perfdata log constantly and one is to let nagios write
to a named pipe and perfparse reads that pipe. All have its pros and
cons. As far as i can see you have mixed the pipe way with the second
way and you tried to look at the stats with the first way.

The easiest way to setup is to use the first way. Just try to change the
nagios command to use perfparse_nagios_command.pl (not
perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl), and if your database connection works
it should all work - if not, try to undo config file changes.
If you encounter performance problems with this way, you should try the
pipe thing - read the docs for that.

Ok so here's the deal i got a little farther

I changed some stuff and my parseperf.cfg look as follows:

Server_Port =                1976
Service_Log =                "/usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata.dat"
Service_Log_Position_Mark_Path =    "/usr/local/nagios/var"
Error_Log =                  "/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse.log"
Error_Log_Rotate =           "Yes"

Drop_File_Rotate =           "Yes"
Drop_File_Keep_N_Days =      "7"
Lock_File = "/var/lock/perfparse.lock"
Show_Status_Bar = "no"
Do_Report =      "no"
Default_user_permissions_Policy = "rw"
Default_user_permissions_Host_groups = "rw"
Default_user_permissions_Summary = "rw"
Output_Log_File =                "no"
Output_Log_Filename =            
"/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse_output_log"
Output_Log_Rotate =              "yes"
Output_Log_Keep_N_Days =         "7"
Use_Storage_Socket_Output =         "no"
Storage_Socket_Output_Host_Name =   "localhost"
Storage_Socket_Output_Port =        "1974"
Server_Port =                    "1976"
Use_Storage_Mysql =              "yes"
No_Raw_Data =                    "no"
No_Bin_Data =                    "no"
DB_User =                    "xxx"
DB_Name =                    "xxx"
DB_Pass =                    "xxx"
DB_Host =                    "127.0.0.1"
Dummy_Hostname =             "dummy"

i got to the /nagiosroot/bin/
shell> /usr/local/nagios/bin# ./perfparse-log2mysql -r

Thanks for your input Flo, the distro does have some *-32bit rpm, but
it's not the case for rrdtools, already explored all the options but
it seems the optimal would be to work with the same architecture, that
means, reinstalling the x86_64 box with i586 version of the distro or
getting another x86_64 box..

Usually you can run 32 bit software on a 64 bit kernel. If you install 
all 32 bit dependant software (libs), then it may be possible to use a 
32 bit and a 64 bit version at the same time. But i don't know if your 
distro supports it - some offer 32 bit libs, some not.

That's what i'm looking for (feature of the next perfparse) as the
complain is about the graphics, not the storage, right now i can't use
rrd as backend, because i would need to share the files between i386
and x86_64. Meanwhile i'll have to rollback to the custom plugins that
save data directly to rrd for the routers and keep perfparse for the
rest..... I was trying to avoid this,  because we want to consolidate
everything on one tool to make our lifes easier....

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

[James T. <ja...@nt...>]

Hi i just installed perfparse so that i can use it with oreon.

Problem is after i install it it doesn't see any of the nagios host 
groups i have or hosts.

Here's how i installed everything from scratch.

Went to Nagios-2.7

./configure --enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache --disable-statuswrl 
--with-default-perfdata
make all
make install
make install-config
make install-init
make install-commandcmd

that installed everything in /usr/local/nagios

got perf parse .105.6
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios 
--with-imagedir=/usr/local/nagios/share/images/ 
--with-cgidir=/usr/local/nagios/sbin --with-http_image_path=/nagios/images
make
make install

cat mysql_create.sql | mysql -u root -p nagios
double checked the table to make sure everything was there.
changed the perfparse.sh.example to perfparse.sh and 
perfparse.cfg.example to perfparse.cfg

commented couple lines outta misccommand.cfg

went to nagios.cfg

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios_perfparse.cfg
process_performance_data=1 host_perfdata_
command=process-host-perfdata service_
perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata


nagios_perfparse.cfg

define command{
        command_name    process-service-perfdata
        command_line    $USER2$/bin/perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl $USER2$/var/perfdata-service.log "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" "$OUTPUT$" "$SERVICESTATE$" "$PERFDATA$"
        }

I set the db name and host name and all that good stuff and make sure it can at least get in.
I logged into the webpage and it's there and everything.


restarted nagios with it embedded on the menu

I go there to see statistics on servers but it doesn't list any.
Help?

Try the last CVS version of perfparse if you want to use the PHP interface.
I've corrected some bugs.

Re: [Perfparse-users] Custom graphics

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

Hi,

what Ives means is that there are so called "storage modules". They are
written in C and can be dynamically loaded into perfparse. There exists
example code (storage_print.c) you can modify to put it into a rrd
database. Yes, this would duplicate the data.
Another solution will come in one of the next perfparse versions: You
then will be able to generate rrd-like Graphs from the mysql (or other)
backend.

Re: [Perfparse-users] [Fwd: Re: Perfparse PHP ... Error Message: Wrong input vars]

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

Hi,

in 0.106.1 the php interface was not yet finished. It is still under
development, but with the help of Cedric we will probably be able to
release a new version of perfparse including a working php interface.

Yes, i know this error. I will try to correct it in the next release. Try
with not use the "flo" style.

I see the bug. this is true for 3 links before "Read Nagios configuration"
but not the others.

I'll try to fix the problems as soon as possible.

[Perfparse-users] Perfparse PHP ... Error Message: Wrong input vars

[Sebastien D. <Seb...@sc...>]

Hello,
I'm running Perparse 0.106.1 php-perfparse v.03 Style "Flo" on nagios 2.7 
based on Suse Linux 10.2
Everything works well exepting when I click on "View and graph binary 
datas" then "select a group" and finaly click on the graph belonging to 
one of my host  ...this time I unfortunaly get a blank page with the 
following error message :
Error Message: Wrong input vars
Graphs are working well when I select them by clicking on "graph binary 
datas"

Another issue I've seen is all links of the admin menu are re-routing to 
the perfparse welcome page exepting "read nagios configuration"
Did someone experience the same kind of problems ???

Many thanks in advance
Regards
Seb 

Re: [Perfparse-users] Custom graphics

[Ciro I. <cy...@gm...>]

Ok, i'll check if it can be done. The idea is to get rrd-like graphics
with perfparse frontend using it's backend data (mysql), right? or is
to paste rrd in the middle somehow?, I would like to use just one
backend, mysql or rrdfiles, currently we choose perfparse because we
are running a x86_64 distro on our main monitoring server, and the
standby is running i586.

Thanks a lot for you input
