I configured nagios to use this method, and now the single quote characters
do not get stripped anymore. Problem solved I guess.

While I was configuring filebased performance data, I came across this in
nagios.cfg though:

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

This probably explains why the single quotes were stripped from the
performance data.

Anyway many thanks for all the help Ben.

Kind regards,
Jan Van der Veken

I just posted my self and got a good answer that the problem is not 
nagios 1.2. :)

Lets try it manually.

This is the command string you are using?

$USER2$/bin/perfparse_nagios_command.pl $USER2$/var/perfdata-service.log 
"$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" "$OUTPUT$" "$SERVICESTATE$" 
"$PERFDATA$"

$ perl perfparse_nagios_command.pl /tmp/test "1101131232" "rlswas1c" 
"CPU load" "CPU Load 0% (5 min average) OK" "'5 min avg 
Load'=0%;50;75;0;100"

No, I get the correct output:

1101131232      rlswas1c        CPU load        CPU Load 0% (5 min 
average) OK  '5 min avg Load'=0%;50;75;0;100


If you have the time, I would be very interested in knowing if you get 
the same problem using 'Method 1':

[Vanderveken, J. <JVa...@IC...>]

Ben,

Thanks for the quick response. Thing is, I posted this to the nagios list
before and they told me to post here :-)

Yes I use the file method of writing data. My gut feeling is that it has
something to do with the perfparse_nagios_command.pl script. If I see it
correctly, this script processes the output of the nagios checks and writes
it to the perfdata-service.log file, right?

You are right. And the funny is that I had the same idea later, yesterday=
 evening.
If we have the same idea, this is probably the good algorithm.
Expect this for 0.104.1 that should be released later this week.

[Perfparse-users] parsing of performance data

[Vanderveken, J. <JVa...@IC...>]

I'm having the following problem with Nagios in combination with the
perfparse tool:

When a certain check generates performance data with space characters in the
metric with single quotes around them, the single quotes *disappear* when
the information is written to the perfdata-service.log file. As a result,
the performance data gets parsed incorrectly by perfparse.

For example, if I do the following check manually:
$ check_nt -H rlswas1c -v CPULOAD -l 5,50,90
The result is something like:
CPU Load 0% (5 min average) |'5 min avg Load'=0%;50;90;0;100
Notice the single quotes around '5 min avg Load'.

However, if I let Nagios do the check, the following data appears in the
perfdata-service.log file:
1101131232      rlswas1c        CPU load        CPU Load 0% (5 min average)
OK         5 min avg Load=0%;50;75;0;100
Notice that there are NO single quotes around '5 min avg Load'.

Does anyone have an idea where the quotes are being dropped and what I can
do about it?

I'm using: 
Nagios 1.2
PerfParse 0.103.1
A recent CVS snapshot of Nagios-plugins

TIA,
Jan Van der Veken

We can rewrite the command that writes to the pipe :)
I added a check to perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl that check if
$file is a pipe. I use nagios 1.x, so it's not a bug in nagios. (pfew
:) )

Perfparsed definitely needs a fix, because the code that creates the
fifo queue fails if the queue (or file) already exists, and perfparsed
always exits. So a better fix would be:
if file exists {
     if file is a pipe {
         do nothing
     } else {
          rename the file (remove?)
          mkfifo
     }
  } else {
     mkfifo
 }

Yes, of course. In a perfect world, nagios (the nagios command that outpu=
ts to the pipe)
should test if the file exists and if it is a pipe, or raise an error.
In our world, what can we do ?

> OK, I could shutdown nagios and restart perfparsed first and then
> nagios again, but this is not really an acceptable solution.

What version of nagios are you using ? Any version with some command that=
 printf >>
perfparse.pipe ? Or nagios-2.0cvs with the new feature : output perfdata =
to a pipe ?

In the second case, this would be a bug in nagios and should be addressed=
 to nagios
developers.
In the first case...
1 update your command to get closer from the perfect world ? You can do i=
t, but will
others do it too ?
2 update perfparsed to take care of this ? But fixing somewhere a bug of =
somewhere else
is never a good solution. We get away from the perfect world.
3 ask the user to reboot nagios at the same time as perfparsed restarts ?=
 But is this a
good solution ?


I have an idea for (2) : when perfparsed starts and finds the existing fi=
le
perfparse.pipe, it can rename it and create the fifo. Then it's your work=
 to cat
perfparse.pipe.old > perfparse.pipe. And it supposes that nagios closes t=
he file and
reopens it every time there is something to write. Otherwise, the only wa=
y is to reboot
nagios.

Is this a correct workaround ?


> My perfparse.cfg:
> nagios@naxos:~/etc$ cat perfparse.cfg

Please run perfparsed --show_config instead :)
In next version, I will write at the beginning of the exemple config file=
 to run the
binary with --show_config instead of showing the config file.
However, thanks for sending the config file that usually helps us to find=
 good things :)

[Perfparse-users] perfparsed & pipe

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

Has anyone managed to use 'method 4' , i.e. make nagios write to a
pipe that is read by perfparsed?

I managed to get it to work once, but then I killed perfparsed and
tried to restart it and it never comes up again. In the error log I
see this:
2004/11/22 10:11:12 [perfparsed.c:127   9800  ] Perfparsed
successfully daemonized (pid=9800)
2004/11/22 10:11:18 [log_reader.c:370   9800  ] Could not create fifo
'/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse.pipe'

The problem is that perfparse.pipe still exists from the previous run.
But you can't get rid of it, because nagios is constantly writing to
it. If you remove it, it instantly reappears as a regular file!

OK, I could shutdown nagios and restart perfparsed first and then
nagios again, but this is not really an acceptable solution.

Perhaps I'm going about it the wrong way....

Remember, NRPE runs plugins that are built/installed on the remote
host(s), not the Nagios host. Rather than spending a bunch of time
testing each plugin on each host, I would suggest simply upgrading to
the latest plugin version on the remote host(s).

I once heard about someone using NFS to point the plugin directories of
their remote hosts back to the Nagios host plugin directory. That way,
plugins only had to be upgraded in one place.

[Perfparse-users] Plugins not working

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

A general note about plugins.

Since the start of PerfParse this has been a real battle.  Only recently 
did the standard distribution have any performance data.  What we did 
have was sometimes wrong or badly formatted.  Our PP developer Garry 
Cook was kind enough to organize a fix for many of them.  However a lot 
of these fixes never made it to the distribution.

I am glad to say where has been big change in the plugin development. 
Ton Voon is now drawing together all patches and working hard to get a 
quality release soon.  One of these aims it to ensure all standard 
plugins produce good performance data, which work on all major platforms.

So thankfully soon these problems of some metrics not appearing because 
of bad performance data will be a thing of the past.

In the mean while I strongly suggest that if you have any issue with 
missing or bad performance data, please get the absolute latest plugins:

http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/snapshot/

(marked nagios-plugins-HEAD-200411190547.tar.gz)

Check that your problems have been fixed.  If not, contact the 
nagiosplug-devel news group and report any errors.

Thanks!

Yes, and yes please!  Wait until the next version, or get the 
pre-release from here:

http://pagesperso.laposte.net/ymettier/perfparse-devel/perfparse-0.104.0/

I am sure Yves can do an introduction into how this is used.

Some of the standard plugin are not compliant yet with performance graphs=
. I have not
followed the news, but some here can answer better than me.
Tell us what standard plugin you are using :)

Yes.
I will create the po/de.po file to make things easier for you. Just edit =
that file.
You can find it on
http://pagesperso.laposte.net/ymettier/perfparse-devel/perfparse-0.104.0/=
 in 0.104.0ym13
(just wait for me to upload it :)

Thanks in advance from the perfparse team, and from all the happy German-=

Re: [Perfparse-users] PerfParse doesnt create images/graphs

[Carsten F. <ma...@db...>]

Oh my god. That's not worth to do, you know: time is money.

Maybe I can use some of the standard plugins and maybe the output of 
them will be stored correctly and I see some performance graphs for them.

Thanks a lot for your help!

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

The problem is not with nrpe, nrpe simply allows you to safely run
nagios commands on other servers than the one nagios is running on,
and transfer the output to nagios. You will need to check each and
every server to see if the commands that nrpe runs on these servers
output perfdata.
so ...
Step 1: check configuration files on the Nagios server and make a list
of servers and the commands that nrpe runs on them.
Step 2: on each of these servers, run the actual command (not nrpe)
and check the output for perfdata.
Step 3: upgrade the commands on each server if necessary.

hope this helps.

I don't know if nrpe is able to generate performance data.
But before checking that, run your plugins on the command line and check =
the result.
performance data are after the | character of the output :

some output | key1=3Dvalue1 key2=3Dvalue2
The performance data format is more complex than what I wrote. Read the d=
ocs.
But if you don't have something like "| key1=3Dvalue1 key2=3Dvalue2", the=
 problem is the
plugin that cannot output performance data. Get the latest plugins on the
nagiosplug.sf.net CVS :)

Hi,

I am that stupid!! I've installed libglib*! Don't ask me why...
Now ./configure doesn't give me any bad output, make (install) works 
fine and everything works as before. That's great.

So let me ask in this way: How do I generate performance data? My 
current scripts for nrpe (add on for nagios for remote hosts) only gives 
me a human readable output. Maybe that's the _mistake_?!

Maybe for your interest: this is the only addition I did to my 
nagios-config-files:
define command{
     command_name    process-service-perfdata
     command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" 
"$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPUT$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$PERFDATA$\n" 
| $USER2$/bin/perfparse-log2db -c $USER2$/etc/perfparse.cfg
     }
Is this sufficient?


Thanks folks

This is probably the reason why you cannot have graphs.
Do you have gd installed ? (gd and gd-devel if you are using packages)
If yes, what version ?
If you have gdlib-config installed, check the --with-gdlib_config_dir opt=
ion for
configure. And if you still have compilation problems, consider upgrading=
 to 0.103.2
that was released today :)

You can use the -c option and the $prefix/etc/perfparse.cfg.template file=
 for your
configuration file. You can also use the --show_config option that prints=
 the options
effectively used (the template config file may not be up to date)
All the perfparse tools recognize the -c and --show_config options.

[Perfparse-users] PerfParse doesnt create images/graphs

[Carsten F. <ma...@db...>]

Greatings,

I configured PerfParse with a simple ./configure Maybe an interesting 
part of the output is this one:
---------------
checking for gdlib-config... no
configure: WARNING: Could not find gdlib-config.
You will have to specify the options manually in CFLAGS and LDFLAGS when 
running make
...
Configuration options:
Using glib2.0: 2.4.7
---------------
I thought it's not that horrible, cause he told me to use 2.4.7

So I compiled it with make (all?) No errors occured.

Now Nagios saves me every incoming service status in my MySQL-Database. 
But only in the table perfdata_service_raw. Why not in 
perfdata_service_bin and perfdata_service_metric?

The file perfgraph.cgi works fine too, but no graphs were created.

To do this, I should start the /usr/local/bin/perfparse.sh I edited the 
file, cause some errors occured - files didn't exist, so I added them 
manualy to the script:
ERROR_LOG="/usr/local/etc/perfparse.log"
NAGIOS_LOCK_FILE="/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock"
PERF_FILE="-"
These values are okay (are they?) and no errors any longer. But it 
doesnt create any picture (graphs) and I don't know, how this short code 
of the script would be able to do this...

Quintessence: Everything works fine, but picture-generator and I didn't 
receive any error messages.

PS:
pp/database/version 0.15
pp/perfparse/version 0.103.1
pp/perfparse/compilation date Nov 18 2004 10:27:02
pp/uname/sysname Linux (Debian Sarge)

[Perfparse-users] New version 0.103.2

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

Dear Users,

New version 0.103.2.

This is mainly a bug fix for the following problems.  If these problems 
are still unfixed, please let us know.

1. Compilation problems with libXpm.so sorted for Philipp.

2. printf format for BSD fixed for Julian.  Please let me know if this 
is any better.

3. Fixed bug in tool to reset deletion policies:

   perfparse-db-tools --reset-host-delete-policy

This now correctly accept a host name.  Therefore you can use this to 
reset the deletion policies of all data for a named host.  For example:

$ perfparse-db-tools --reset-host-delete-policy h%

Will reset all data from hosts which start with 'h'.  The deletion 
policy will be set to the binary and raw default.  Please check what 
this is before using.

4. Fixed compilation bugs where variables used before all variables 
defined.  Strict ANSI C compilers will need this.

5. Amended CGI Host Delete Policy to allow faster editing.

Please enjoy and report all problems.

The next exciting version from Yves will be a language translation into 
French.  We are looking for translators into other languages.  Please 
let us know if you can give some time for this, you will be fully 
credited for all work.

Regards, Yves and Ben.

Thanks 

It looks like it is a plugin/performance data issue.
I had tackled several nagios server and plugin
challenges over the past week which confused the
issue.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Hi Stuart,

You seem to have some interesting problems.

My guess is that the plugins do not produce performance data.  For 
instance shown after the '|':

OK - load average: 0.38, 0.50, 0.50|load1=0.380;1.500;2.000;0.000 
load5=0.500;1.000;2.000;0.000 load15=0.500;1.000;2.000;0.000

Can you run your plugins from the command line using the same parameters 
as Nagios and ensure that they all produce performance data similar to 
that above?

Regards,

Ben

Hi Stuart,

You seem to have some interesting problems.

My guess is that the plugins do not produce performance data.  For 
instance shown after the '|':

OK - load average: 0.38, 0.50, 0.50|load1=0.380;1.500;2.000;0.000 
load5=0.500;1.000;2.000;0.000 load15=0.500;1.000;2.000;0.000

Can you run your plugins from the command line using the same parameters 
as Nagios and ensure that they all produce performance data similar to 
that above?

Ben

[Perfparse-users] method 4 Pipe; data storage and creating graphs ? on Solaris 8

[<Stu...@am...>]

Hi all

 

I've been working with perfparse for about a week or so and

I was wondering if I could get some input on problem I'm working 

through.  

 

Currently I'm only able to graph 2 out of 7 servers monitored;

and only 4 out of 5 services on those 2 servers.  3 of the services

are on the local server where nagios and perfparse daemons are running.

I have 9 active services total.

The services are PING DNS DISK LOAD NTP for the 9 servers

On the successful servers

Server1 is graphing PING LOAD DISK

Server2 is graphing DNS and ignoring PING.

The OS is Solaris 8.  Version 103.1 of perfparse.

 

I'm using method 4 to pipe data from nagios into the mysql DB.

The data stored for the 2 servers and services are in the 

"perfdata_service_bin" and metric tables. All the data is going raw 

 

I have removed the mysql data directory and recreated the db several times

with the same affect.  A couple of times I pulled the 2 servers out of

the nagios config and then recreating the data.  No results until I put the
2 servers

back in.  So I'm wondering how does perfparsed 

know  about only these 2 servers and how do I get data in the bin and metric
tables

for the other servers.

 

 

In the perfparse.cfg I have the following set:

Service_Log = "|/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/serviceperf.log"

Service_Log_Save_Position = "no"

Daemon_Lock = "/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparsed.lock"

Daemonize = "no"

No_Raw_Data = "no"

No_Bin_Data = "no"

 

The nagios_perfparse.cfg services command is set to:

 

command_line    /usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl /

usr/local/nagios/var/rw/serviceperf.log "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$"
"$SERVICEDESC$" "

$OUTPUT$" "$SERVICESTATE$" "$PERFDATA$"

 

The "process-host-perfdata" command doesn't seem to be used.

There is no variables to set or used for host info in the perfparse.cfg

and I didn't see any variables for the host setup when I do a 

./perfparsed -show_config

Dear users,

A warning about the last posting.  This has been tested on plugin 
version 1.4.0alpha1.  This may not work on other version.  Please only 
install if you require this.  If this does not work on your version, 
please let me know or wait for the next release of plugins which should 
be fixed.

Ben.

Re: [Perfparse-users] hi, a problem in load average display.

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

Dear users,

Attached is a working version of the check_load.  This version displays 
values correctly as floating point numbers:

OK - load average: 0.38, 0.50, 0.50|load1=0.380;1.500;2.000;0.000 
load5=0.500;1.000;2.000;0.000 load15=0.500;1.000;2.000;0.000

Rather than the current bad version:

OK - load average: 0.38, 0.50, 0.50|load1=0;1;2;0 load5=0;1;2;0 
load15=0;1;2;0

Follow these instructions:

Copy file to plugins directory of nagios-plugin distribution and:

$ gunzip check_load.c.gz
$ make
$ su
# make install

Regards, Ben.
