perfparse-users — Problems using PerfParse

Re: [Perfparse-users] Perparse Method 4 (pipe)

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

The document you mention I believe is:

http://wiki.perfparse.org/tiki-index.php?page=BuildingMethod4Example

Supplied kindly by Alex Peeters.

If you have found this useful, I'll link this from our FAQ.

Thanks for the advise on Nagios 2.x.  PerfParse is not 'officially' able 
to read this, but only because I don't use Nagios 2.x and I have yet to 
get back comments about how this works.

I am after any such comments in order to update our documentation, so 
thanks for your observations.  Would you have a tested example of a 
configuration?

Regards,

Ben.

[Tong Y. <To...@in...>]

Thanks. Just want to say that someone posted a link to a document on =
installing Perfparse with the pipe method and I followed the =
instructions contained there and it works perfectly.  So if anyone is =
having problems they should have a look at that link.  It was posted =
within the last two days I believe.  The subject line is Good =
Documentation or something similar.
=20
And someone posted that they are getting perfdata written to the =
perfdata-service.log in the form of $ signs.  I would guess that you are =
using Nagios 2.0..  The variables $PERFDATA$ and one other has changed =
to $SERVICEPERFDATA$ and so forth..  Check out the documentation for =
Nagios 2.0 or the sample config files.  One of them contains the changes =
made to the variables.

If you are running nagios-1.2, yes, this is by design.
Perfparsed reads from a pipe, and creates it if necessary. If you run =
nagios-1.2 before,
it will write to whatever the file is, and if it does not exist, write a =
new file.
If the design was to run perfparsed after nagios, you would loose the =
data written in
that file, or have perfparsed block because of that regular file.

If you are running nagios-1.2, yes, this is by design.
Perfparsed reads from a pipe, and creates it if necessary. If you run nag=
ios-1.2 before,
it will write to whatever the file is, and if it does not exist, write a =
new file.
If the design was to run perfparsed after nagios, you would loose the dat=
a written in
that file, or have perfparsed block because of that regular file.

I don't know much about nagios-2.X so it will be only generic comments...


> Service_Log "|/usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse.sh/var/serviceperf.log"

This should be
Service_Log "|/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log"

Why put "bin/perfparse.sh" inside ?

Here you use "/usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata-service.log"

perfparse does not parse perfdata from hosts yet, so don't spend too much=
 on this :)

You must run perfparse before nagios. Perfparse can create the fifo itsel=
f, and
complains if it cannot. No complains if the file already exists as a fifo=
.

I guess that  /usr/local/nagios/var exists as a directory. If yes, good, =
and no idea why
it does not work. If not, create it.


Well, the only thing I can say is to use /usr/local/nagios/var/serviceper=
f.log
everywhere. Check your settings :)

Re: [Perfparse-users] perfparse-0.105.5 and no performance data?

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

Ignacio,

How are you building you perfdata-service.log file?  If you are using 
the Nagios 'file' method for instance, there is an entry in nagios.cfg 
which must be correct:

xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPUT$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$PERFDATA$

There are other reasons why you have no performance data, so please let 
us know.

Regards,

Ben.

[Perfparse-users] Cannot get perfparse to work

[Mark C. <mca...@it...>]

Hey all,

I've spent the afternoon trying to get perfparse to work using "Pipe to
perfparsed" method, with no success!

Granted that what consumed most of my time beating mysql3 off my machine
and mysql4 on.

I compiled perfparsed(latest stable) and nagios(nagios-2.0b1) with the
following options:

./configure '--prefix=3D/usr/local/nagios'
'--with-imagedir=3D/usr/local/nagios/share/images/'
'--with-http_image_path=3D/images' '--with-cgidir=3D/cgi-bin'

./configure  --prefix=3D/usr/local/nagios --with-cgiurl=3D/cgi-bin
--with-htmurl=3D --with-nagios-user=3Dnagios --with-nagios-grp=3Dnagios
--with-default-perfdata --enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache

I set the process performance option on in nagios.cfg:

process_performance_data=3D1

I commented out process-host-perfdata and process-service-perfdata from
my misccommands.cfg file.

I set my Service_log variable to=20

Service_Log =3D
"|/usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse.sh/var/serviceperf.log"

And I have added the following to my nagios_perfparse.cfg file:

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

define command{
        command_name    process-host-perfdata
        command_line
/usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse_nagios_command.pl
/usr/local/nagios/var/var/perfdata-host.log "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$"
"$OUTPUT$" "$PERFDATA$"
        }

I setup a FIFO:

[root@spanner var]# ls -ld serviceperf.log
prw-r--r--    1 root     root            0 Feb  9 16:18 serviceperf.log

I have a feeling the problem is with my Service_Log setting as if I run
truss on my ./perfparse.sh binary I get

stat64("|/usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse.sh/var/serviceperf.log",
0xbfffc8d0) =3D -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

however even if I change it to:

|/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log, I still get the same error:

stat64("|/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log", 0xbfffabd0) =3D -1 =
ENOENT
(No such file or directory)

I can get the web interface, but I can't get a list of hosts and it
doesn't' look like any data is being inserted into the database

Any assistance is appreciated=20

[Perfparse-users] Perparse Method 4 (pipe)

[Perfparse-users] perfparse-0.105.5 and no performance data?

[Ignacio B. <ig...@ya...>]

Hi, all.  Yesterday, I downloaded and installed nagios
2.0b1, perfparse-0.105.5, and plugins 1.40 release.

Everything seems to be working great on the nagios
side.    And, all the plugins I'm interested in appear
to be outputting performance data.

I'm using the guide located at
http://wiki.perfparse.org/tiki-index.php?page=BuildingMethod4Example
as a template.

When I run the plugin 'check_load -w 15,10,5 -c
30,25,20' from the command-line I get:

OK - load average: 0.01, 0.06,
0.07|load1=0.010000;15.000000;30.000000;0.000000
load5=0.060000;10.000000;25.000000;0.000000
load15=0.070000;5.000000;20.000000;0.000000

But what appears in nagios/var/perfdata-service.log
is:

1107970513      fs1     check-load      $       OK    
 $

No performance data.  As such, when I run:

perfparse-log2mysql -r -s --serviceperf-log
nagios/var/perfdata-service.log

I get:

Does anyone have any guidance or ideas?  The only
obvious discrepancy in the guide listed above are the
lines:

replace
No_Raw_Data = "yes"
No_Bin_Data = "yes"
with
No_Raw_Data = "yes"
No_Bin_Data = "yes" 

Clearly, what's meant is for the entries to change
from one state to another.  Not sure what they should
be!  I've tried a few combos, and it didn't seem to
make a difference.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, much, in advance.

[Perfparse-users] Adjustment to database

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

Dear users of PerfParse,

There is an index missing off one of the tables.  This effects the Raw 
History.  Adding this index should speed reports from minutes to seconds.

However I will not be adding this in a normal database version change. 
This is because adding the index may take many hours if you have data.

Therefore all new databases will have this index.  If you want to add 
it, which I advise, please enter:

mysql> ALTER TABLE perfdata_service_raw ADD INDEX search_idx (host_name, 
service_description, ctime);

Please let me know if you require more information.

Regards,

Ben Clewett.

I have one last idea : suppose there is a wrong character in that line. A=
 character you
cannot see. It sometimes happen when you copy/paste code from unsafe sour=
ces.

Either edit config_file.c with a hex editor and check that all the charac=
ters are
allowed, or delete that line and type it again by hand. No copy/paste.

Also try to remove that line to see if there are still warnings.

This is my last idea, but if something strange happen, it can give us oth=
er ideas... :)

Nick,

I am sorry but I am out of options.  I can't see anything wrong with the 
code, or replicate your error.

You have a very recent gcc.  I don't think this is likely to contain 
errors.  It does seem to contain some checking feature to which previous 
versions did not contain.  We will have to work out what it is about our 
code that your compiler does not like.

In the mean while, do you have an older version of gcc which you can use 
to compile PerfParse?

Regards,

Ben.

By the first coloum do you mean the [SERVICEPERFDATA] or the 1107889636? =
=20

If the [...], this looks like an unfortunate debug from Nagios source cod=
e.=20
This should be a simple fix.  If the large number, this is correct.  This=
 is
the number of seconds since 1970.

Best of luck with the rest,

Ben.

I don't use Nagios 2.  There may be somebody on this list who does and ca=
n
give better advise.

If there isn't then you are looking at a new port for PerfParse and this
method.  It seems like you have found some significant differences betwee=
n the
two versions.

I am glad to see you are nearly there.  May I please ask you document the
differences between Nagios 1.2 and Nagios 2, so that we can update our
documentaion.

I don't know what the xpd stands for.  Possibly eXternal Performance Dump=
?  If
you find out, let me know :)

Best of luck with getting this method working,

Ben.

When the xpdfile is left off, the serviceperf log starts to look like =
this:
[SERVICEPERFDATA]       1107889636      rocdicc02       LOAD    0.212   =
0.120
OK - load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.01     =
load1=3D0.000000;15.000000;30.000000;0.000
000 load5=3D0.003906;10.000000;25.000000;0.000000 =
load15=3D0.011719;5.000000;10.0000
00;0.000000



Which appears to be right except the extra first column.

Certainly.

Nagios was compiled as so:

./configure  --disable-statuswrl --enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache =

These lines were added to NAGIOS.cfg:

Hi Darren,

I need to know what method you are using.  In the documentation it talks =
about
several different method.  For instance 'Pipe to Perfparse'.=20

You mension looking for the serviceperf.log file, this is method 'Periodi=
c
Nagios Log Parse'.  If this is the case, please check you have completed =
all
tasks in:

http://perfparse.sourceforge.net/docs.php#AEN58
http://perfparse.sourceforge.net/docs.php#AEN261

Let me know and we can go from there,

Ben.

[Perfparse-users] log files not created.

[Kemp, D. <Dar...@xe...>]

I have gone through the install guide for perfparse and set everything
up for the periodic nagios log parse.

However after adding the new lines to nagios.cfg (xpdfile etc) and
commenting the old host and service perfdata lines, I am not getting
*any* hostperf or serviceperf logs being created. Permissions are fine.=20

What am I missing?

Thanks

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

Hi Ben,

I think you done a pretty good work with perfparse so far! I totally
understand, that those major changes can't be done over night. So far,
perfparse is working quiet well for me!
I want to thank you and all the people who are and who have worked on
perfparse for your great ideas and work!

BTW, who needs Postgre ;-)

Philipp

Re: [Perfparse-users] Large Mysql Database

[Ben C. <ben...@ww...>]

Hi Philipp,

Thanks for reminding me.  I remember telling you we would have this completed
after Christmas.

With the loss of Yves and my time becoming limited, this line of development
has slowed.  My wife is also about to give birth to our second child, which
drastically effects my ability to code all evening :)

Unfortunately this has also been complicated by the addition of PostgreSQL,
twice the programming now needed.  But I would much rather we had PostgreSQL
than not!

I have completed some of the work, but more still needed.  We have agreed to
go to version 1.0.0 when this is complete, all the more reason to get on with
it...

*This is an implore to all users!*

If anybody would like to help me complete the database conversion shown here:

http://wiki.perfparse.org/tiki-index.php?page=DatabaseConversionSpecification

This would be of great help to a lot of our users.  You will be credited as an
author, and be a member of a great team of great people.

Regards Ben.

This is a problem : it should not be a file but a pipe.
Remove that file, run Perfparsed, and then run nagios. Otherwise nagios c=
reates the file
and perfparsed complains.

[Perfparse-users] Perl file missing and InnoDB?

[<Seb...@ku...>]

I use Debian v.3.0 with all current updates. The Perfparse version is: =
0.105.4. I'm using Nagios v.1.2. MySQL v.4.1.9*

*not sure about the InnoDB support. How can I tell if I have it =
activated? I know it's supposed to be standard on the newer 4 versions. =
I've used Debian package mysql-server-4.1 as well as the client and the =
common package.

I've been following the Perfparse documentation when configuring and =
installing Perfparse. I've choosen to use the Pipe to Perfparse method =
but I'm uncertain if everything is correctly configured. There is no 6.5 =
chapter in the documentation that deals with the last configuration =
aspects when using Pipe to Perfparse.

Could anyone explain the last steps?

When I run nagios with -d switch, the following problem occurs:

nagios@ksabnetmon:/usr/local/nagios/var$ /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d =
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg Can't open perl script =
"/usr/local/nagios/bin/p1.pl": No such file or directory

Where is the p1.pl file? It's not where it's supposed to be.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

RE: [Perfparse-users] Large Mysql Database

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

My mySQL Perfparse Database is about 13Gigs by now ;)  Ok, it's not the
fastes any more, but it still works... I'm still waiting for the new
Database Scheme, that will allow a more efficient way to store long term
data...
