perfparse-users — Problems using PerfParse

[Perfparse-users] monitor perfparsed with nagios

[Tim W. <tim...@gm...>]

All,

I'm trying to see what the best way is of monitoring perfparsed,
preferably using nagios itself. I'm currently using perfparsed in
combination with the write to pipe method.

What are my options?

1.  check_procs -c1:1 -C perfparsed -u nagios
this will notify me in case the daemon died. I could attach an event
handler to restart the perfparse daemon.
The problem with this method is that there is no way of knowing the
perfparse daemon is still doing anything useful, since nagios writes
to a named pipe, and this never fails. (and even then, should it fail,
there's apparently no trace of the failure anywhere). This hasn't
happened (yet), the daemon seems to die whenever something goes wrong.

2. write a (perl) check script that checks the perfparse_service_bin
(since I'm storing in a mysql db) for new data (i.e check the
timestamp of the most recent record, cry wolf if it's older than x
minutes). Attach an event handler to check for perfparsed still
running and eventually restarting it. In my view this is the only
right way to check the sanity of perfparse.

I'd like to hear your thoughts on this, or any other ideas....

Tim.

You are probably running perfparse-log2*.
In order to use a FIFO, you have to run perfparsed.

[Perfparse-users] perfparse and FIFO

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

Message forwarded:
From: Martin <mr...@us...>:

Hi,

I have a problem with perfparse 0.104.2 and method 4 (pipe using): In 
the perfparse log file I get this error: 2004/12/07 11:36:59 
[perfparse-log2any.c:152 32165 ] FIFO not authorized as the perf data 
input source
The fifo is
prw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Dec 7 11:41 perfdata-service.log

My entry in the perfparse.cfg is
Service_Log = "|/usr/share/nagios/var/perfdata-service.log"
Service_Log_Position_Mark_Path = ""

Can someone tell me where the fault is ?

Re: [Perfparse-users] no performance data in perfparse

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

Alexander,

Thanks for your information on problems with the performance data.  It=20
seems the 'quotes' are missing from the metric name on your check_nt=20
plugin, when using method 3 and 4?

Our friend Jan Van der Veken noticed what might be your problem.  When=20
compiling Nagios he saw this in nagios.cfg:

-- begin snippet --
# ILLEGAL MACRO OUTPUT CHARACTERS
# This options allows you to specify illegal characters that are
# stripped from macros before being used in notifications, event
# handlers, etc.  This DOES NOT affect macros used in service or
# host check commands.
# The following macros are stripped of the characters you specify:
# 	$OUTPUT$, $PERFDATA$

illegal_macro_output_chars=3D`~$&|'"<>
-- end snippet --

If you alter this line to remove the ''''s, this might fix your problem.

If you can test this, this would make a great addition to our new FAQ:

Kind regards,

Ben Clewett.

Re: [Perfparse-users] Errors in grafh visualization

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

Morning Massimiliano,

Sorry to hear you have been having problems.

Can you tell me whether any of your graphs display?

Can you tell me if you perfparse.cfg file is correctly readable by the=20
apache system.

Did you specified the location of the file correctly on compilation.=20
Eg, if file is /usr/local/nagios/etc/perfparse.cfg

Did you use:

./configure --prefix=3D/usr/local/nagios

Do you use the History Report?  Can you tell me whether the Gant chart=20
displays on a sample History Report?

Can you try running the graph from the command prompt as follows:

# su apache  (or what ever user Apache uses.)
$ cd cgi-bin
$ export=20
QUERY_STRING=3D"?host=3Dmailsvr%2Edomain%2Eit&service=3DPOP3&metric=3Dtim=

+Service+%27POP3%27+++Metric+%27time%27=94
$ ./perfchart.png > sample.png

Can you use some safe binary reader, or vi, and look at the sample.png.=20
  Does the top of the file contain something like:

"Expires: Sun, 02 Jan 2000 01:01:01 GMT
content-type: image/png

<89>PNG"


Please let us know.

Ben.

[Perfparse-users] Errors in grafh visualization

[Massimiliano M. <mmi...@ab...>]

Hi All,

In the visualization of the url to display the grafh of the my host on 
the web server launch the follow error message:

"The image 
“http://host.domain.it/nagios/cgi-bin/perfchart.png?host=mailsvr%2Edomain%2Eit&service=POP3&metric=time&forcescale=1&accuratescale=1&min=0%2E000000&max=10%2E000000&select_line=1&s_val=1&s_smo=0&s_war=1&s_cri=1&s_sta=1&g_sigma=14.000000&unit=%2C016108s&size=585x300&output=Histogram&timeperiod=r&reltime=00%3A00&reldays=1&title=Host+%27mailsvr%2domain%2Eit%27+++Service+%27POP3%27+++Metric+%27time%27&pid=22900”

I look the apache log (error_log/access_log) but there aren't error 
messages about grafh visualization.

Any ideas?

Re: [Perfparse-users] 'Error 500' in version 0.104.1

[Yves M. <yme...@li...>]

Ben answered to this mail but I'm not sure.
I would like to add that you can also add your own debug log easily :

FILE*logfh;
logfh =3D fopen ("/tmp/my_own_error.log", "w+");
fpritnf(logfh, "%s:%d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__);
fclose(logfh);

With this, you have easier access to a log file, and you can put debug ma=
rks before the
CGI header.

Please try on 0.104.2 and perfparse.cgi instead of perfgraph.cgi that was=
 renamed.

Sorry, error.

Re: [Perfparse-users] "Error 500" in version 0.104.1

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

Hi Gili,

Please remember that the program name changed from perfgraph.cgi to 
perfparse.cgi.

There have been two users before you who had the same effect.  The menu 
would show but none of the calls which accessed the database.

I know one user reported 'it just started working'.  I am not sure how 
this was resolved with other user.  If one of them is reading, please 
let us know :)

If you use your debug, please fflush(stderr) after calling.  A crash can 
destroy the buffer.  Also if you use this debug, add it *only* after the 
initial header:

	printf("Expires: Sun, 02 Jan 2000 01:01:01 GMT\n");
	printf("content-type: text/html\n\n");

Or you will get 'malformed header from script'. or 'Premature end of 
script header'.

You can populate the QUERY_STRING from the command line, but ensure you 
'su' to what ever user your http server is using to execute the scripts.

You may try setting the SUID bit on the script:

# chown root.root perfparse.cgi
# chmod ug+s perfparse.cgi

This is *not* a good way to run, but might help you find your error.

Please also ensure your database details are correct in 
etc/perfparse.cgi and the etc directory this is located in was compiled 
into the program using:

--prefix=/usr/local/nagios

And this file (perfparse.cfg) is entirely readable by the http server user.

Please let us know...

Ben

[Perfparse-users] "Error 500" in version 0.104.1

[Gili L. <Gi...@so...>]

Hi All,

I'm trying to use the perfgraph (0.104.1), but I got "Error 500". Only if a
parameter is passed to the script...
If I execute this cgi by command prompt I get the HTML. And if I export the
"QUERY_STRING" it works goes as well...
But if I do this thing by the browser I get the Error 500.

This occurs in ver 0.103.2. the only version I tried this didn't occurs is
ver 0.100.1.

I inserted a line in the perfgraph.c to debug this (as I read in this list).
------
fprintf(stderr, "%s:%d\n", __FILE__,__LINE__);
-----
this is the output from the error_log

Re: [Perfparse-users] Problem Perfparse bindary data only metric time..

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

Alexander

These metrics will be listed in the binary reports only if there is=20
valid performance data.  (There may be other reasons, but this is the=20
most likely.)  Can you run one of these plugins from the command line as=20
Nagios would and see whether you have any performance data?

If there are any specific plugins which do not work, post to this news=20
group or nag...@li... (subscription needed) and I am=20
certain there will be a user who has a working version they can pass to y=
ou.

The 'STATE' for the Binary data is re-calculated based on the data from=20
the plugin.  This is because there may be many metrics on each service,=20
all of which may be in a different state.  The state returned by the=20
service is usually the worst of these.

Have a look at the performance output of your plugins and see whether=20
this makes sense.  If this seems not to be the case, please let me know=20
together with the full output from a sample plugin run.

Regards,

Ben Clewett.

[Perfparse-users] New version 0.104.1

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

Dear users,

We are happy to release the next version 0.104.1.  This has many 
interesting additions:

- dynamic libraries for perfparse-log2* and perfparsed

- perfparse-log2any can load more than one storage module; the other 
perfparse-log2* are links, shortcuts to perfparse-log2any with one 
module only.

- Perfparse is now internationalized, with a first French translation to 
be improved and others to be done (contributions welcome)

- perfgraph.cgi renamed as perfparse.cgi. To avoid confusions, upgrades 
should remove their old perfparse.cgi.

I will repeat the last change:  perfgraph.cgi is now renamed to 
perfparse.cgi.  Please delete perfgraph.cgi and change your links.

Contributions will be particularly appreciated on:

- translations (including improving the French one)
- helping Garry on the documentation
- porting perfparse on other systems than GNU/Linux and Solaris
- making storage modules for other databases or RRD files

Regards, PP Development team.

In perfparse/log_reader.c, we use select(). There is a timeout of one sec=
ond.
On the line with select(), the last argument is "&tm". Could you replace =
it with "NULL"
and test ? There should be no side effect with this change.

If it is not a bad use of select(), I have no idea. Give us more, with fo=
r example using
strace (linux) or truss (solaris).

[Perfparse-users] perfparsed & CPU usage

[Tim W. <tim...@gm...>]

Hello,
I configured perfparsed to read from a pipe. (Method 4) (config below)
I noticed that the CPU usage for perfparse is constantly at > 95% (sse
part of 'top' output below).

Without perfparsed, top reports 99.7% idle, with perfparsed, it
reports about 50% idle. I should add that this is a test setup, with
nagios checking only 60 services every 5 minutes (iow, perfparsed
takes up a lot of CPU for doing close to nothing)

the production setup checks around 600 services, so I'm a little worried.

Any thoughts, insights ?

[Perfparse-users] Re: [Perfparse-devel] perfparse.sh problems

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

Hi Barry.

You must specify a mark path in order for the script to run.

Eg:
Service_Log_Position_Mark_Path =    "/usr/local/nagios/etc/"

I do not know why your script is not running.  When you run 
perfparse-log2db -s -r you should get an output:

00:00:01 read 14 @ 0.0 l/sec.  Met 13 @ 0.93 Met/l.  Drop 0.

|   New Services :          0 |   | SQL Queries :           200 |
+-----------------------------+   +-----------------------------+

If this is not the case something is wrong.  Otherwise you may just have 
a very large log file.  Can you tell me how many lines in your log file?

[Perfparse-users] Re: [Perfparse-devel] perfparse.sh problems

[barry m. <bar...@sh...>]

When I try and run the command 

[root@localhost etc]# /usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse-log2db -s -r
No position mark path was specified. Either disable saving the position or specify a mark path.
[root@localhost etc]#

I also have the error_log defined in the .cfg see below



# Error handling :
Error_Log =                  "/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse.log"
Error_Log_Rotate =           "Yes"
Drop_File =                  "/tmp/perfparse.drop"
Drop_File_Rotate =           "Yes"

I have left the script running overnight. Is there anyway I can enable debugging??


Many thanks for all your help.

[Perfparse-users] Re: [Perfparse-devel] perfparse.sh problems

[Viljo M. <na...@ma...>]

Hey,

Just an idea. I once had exact same problem and the reason was, that 
'Error_Log' wasn't defined in perfparse.cfg, there was some other name 
given for it. Or the perfparse.sh script searched for other errorlog 
name, don't remember exactly.

Hi Barry,

Sorry to hear things are not working so well for you.  I have moved this 
posing to perfparse-users where more users may be able to help you 
identify this problem.

One reason I can think of it that the script is doing something, it's 
just taking a long time.  I guess you are using Method 1 described in:

http://perfparse.sourceforge.net/docs.php#id265256

Can you extract the perfparse command from the perfparse.sh and try 
running it manually with the -s and -r flags.  This will be something like:

$ /usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse-log2db -s -r

Can you tell me what is returned?

Ben

Re: [Perfparse-users] Debugging perfparse?

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

Michael,

I can see no obvious reason for this.  Can I ask you to look at all 
parts.  Especially when the systems seems to stop.

Can you check that the file you are writing to is still being populated. 
   The lines being added are valid.  Please return a sample line to this 
mail thread.  Do you delete the file on each parse?  If not can you 
check your 'state' file contains valid data.  If so can you make sure 
that this stage is working correctly.

Can you complete the parse manually by extracting the command from your 
script:

$USER2=/perfparse/installation/directory
cat ${USER2}/var/perfdata-service.log | ${USER2}/bin/perfparse-log2db -s 
-r -c ${USER2}/etc/perfparse.cfg

You can add the flags '-s -r' which will give you extra verbose output. 
  If you run the parse manually, does this work?

Do you use MySQL for Nagios?  Do you run the check_mysql plugin from 
Nagios to monitor your database?  (You may need to symbolically link the 
mysql.sock to /tmp/mysql.sock for older plugin.)  Does this show the 
database in good state when data is not importing?

Please let me know,

Ben

[Michael T. H. <mi...@ha...>]

I'm using Method 3.. I'm not actually seeing anything in the logs 
perfparse related.  Perfparse will
work fine for Xdays, but then if I don't look at it for 2 or 3 days, it 
will just stop graphing.. There will
be a 2-3 day gap in the graphs, and then once I start looking at it 
again, it 's as if it's gotten the attention
it wants and goes back to graphing.  All the while the logs are being 
written to and my every 5 minute
cronjob to generate the graphs are running..

There is a log, check your config file.

What method are you using to import the data?

[Perfparse-users] Debugging perfparse?

[Michael T. H. <mi...@ha...>]

Is there a way to make perfparse send some sort of log somewhere?

My perfparse setup seems to have worked fine now for 3 weeks, then poof,
it died sometime around 1pm yesterday and I've got no reason why, just a
whole lot of blank graphs and no indicator as to what is going wrong.
