 Ultra-quick hack that seems to solve my problem:
=20
 In perfparse/perfparse.c:
=20
 #define TPERFDATA_MIN   2
 #define TPERFDATA_MAX   3
 #define TPERFDATA_WARN  0
 #define TPERFDATA_CRIT  1
 #define TPERFDATA_VALUE 4
=20
 instead of
=20
 #define TPERFDATA_MIN   0
 #define TPERFDATA_MAX   1
 #define TPERFDATA_WARN  2
 #define TPERFDATA_CRIT  3
 #define TPERFDATA_VALUE 4
=20
 The lines on the database now show

ase
    =20
    =20
     I wasn"t at the office today, so I"ll try to describe what"s happeni=
ng.
    =20
     Here"s for example one row of data took from perfdata_service_bin:
    =20

  =20
 +-----------+---------------------+--------+---------------------+------=
---+--------+----------+--------+
     | host_name | service_description | metric | ctime               |=20
value   | warn   |
critical | state  |

  =20
 +-----------+---------------------+--------+---------------------+------=
---+--------+----------+--------+
     | nagioslab | /dev/vg00/rootlv    | /      | 2004-07-23 14:35:10=20
|    4822 |      0 |  =20
10079 |      0 |

  =20
 +-----------+---------------------+--------+---------------------+------=
---+--------+----------+--------+
    =20
     On the other hand, take a look at the output of check_disk:
    =20
     [root@nagioslab libexec]# ./check_disk -w 15% -c 5% -p /
     DISK OK - free space: / 4869 MB (48%);| /=3D5211MB;8567;9575;0;10079
    =20
     The line recorded at serviceperf.log shows
    =20
     1092398291      nagioslab       /dev/vg00/rootlv        DISK OK -=20
free space: /
     4869 MB (48%):  OK       /=3D5211MB;8567;9575;0;10079
    =20
     Seems that the values that are making into the database are minimum=20
(0) and maximum
(10079) values instead of warning (10064) and critical (10074) ones. My=20
patched check_nt
(that provides also perfdata information) also provides evidence=20
supporting this:
    =20
     [root@nagioslab libexec]# ./check_nt -H 10.4.8.135 -v USEDDISKSPACE=20
-l c -w 85% -c 95%
     c:\ - total: 37.27 Gb - used: 7.31 Gb (20%) - free 29.96 Gb
(80%)|c=3D7.310GB;31.678;35.404;;37.268
    =20
     Now, the line recorded at the database:
    =20

  =20
 +------------+---------------------------+--------+---------------------=
+---------+--------+----------+--------+
     | host_name  | service_description       | metric |=20
ctime               | value   | warn =20
| critical | state  |

  =20
 +------------+---------------------------+--------+---------------------=
+---------+--------+----------+--------+
     | bradesk150 | Disco C:                  | c      | 2004-07-23=20
15:09:11 |   5.909 |      0
|    37.26 |      0 |

  =20
 +------------+---------------------------+--------+---------------------=
+---------+--------+----------+--------+
    =20
     Again, we see that warn =3D 0 and critical =3D- 37.26, when the corr=
ect=20
information should
have been warn =3D 31.68 and critical =3D 35.40. Also, as you can see, bo=

I can answer some of this.  You may have to do some research.  Get to 
the MySQL shell and enter:
     show table status\G
Or
     show table status;

Look for the two tables perfdata_service_bin and perfdata_service_raw.

You can see there the average row length and the number of rows.  If you 
know the number of rows being added, you therefore can calculate the 
space needed for a years data.

The %_raw table holds one row for each service.  If you have one service 
entry a minute from all 600 services, this would be 84MB/day.

The %_bin table holds one row for each metric.  See how many metrics per 
service you have from the output of 'perfparse -r'.  If you have 1.5 
metrics per service, this is 93MB/Day.

Also take into account the deletion policies.  Some services/metrics 
will therefore have a fixed size.

A general note to all readers
=============================

Are there any SQL developers out there who would want a go at writing 
some tools to monitor and predict database size for PP?  Or an Excel 
spread sheet which users can enter their setup details and get back size 
figures?  If so, you'd make a valuable addition to this product.

Regards, Ben.

Jeff,

I am glad you like the save option.  This code is the start of a bigger 
database and report option for graphs.  I will include your suggestions 
for a near-future version.

Ben

Re: [Perfparse-users] database size....

[Ben C. <Be...@cl...>]

Hi James,

The reason for the hash error can only be that the file 
(serviceperf.log) has been altered.  I have done testing on a file of 
this size without error.  It is possible that the file is being altered 
rather than just appended to?

I think you may want to try the new parser from Yves.  It does not 
restart the log file.  This will be the only parser in later versions of PP.

Alternatively, there is another way of killing the log file.  After each 
run, execute:

echo -n "" > serviceperf.log

This will loose three or four lines of log.  But does not restart 
Nagios.  If you can live with this, then this is another suggestions.

Regards, Ben.

[Perfparse-users] Interface Suggestion?

[Jeff S. <je...@sk...>]

I really like the new ability to "save" a graph.  This is great....but, a  
few ideas:

1) When showing the graph, don't display the list of saved graphs again, I  
suspect my list of saved graphs will get long.
2) How about adding a check box to the list of saved graphs, so you can  
select multiple saved graphs to display on one page?

Thanks for the great work!!!!!!

[Perfparse-users] nagios HUP, multiple procss, perfparse.sh delete logs, etc....

[Jeff S. <je...@sk...>]

Ok, I've been fighting a problem for 2 days, and it appears to be related  
to perfparse.sh.  I had the --delete-service-log and --delete-host-log  
flags enabled, which was causing perfparse to delete the files, and HUP  
nagios.  However, (after reading many post, and debugging) I have  
discovered this has been my underlying problem.  Apparently this is  
starting another nagios process, which is a known issue.  Service checks  
get scheduled, but don't execute.  And I had service checks scheduled for  
every 2 hours, which would get executed every 5 minutes, which perfparse  
ran.  I've seen this issue on both Nagios 1.2 and 1.0, and Solaris 8 and  
Redhat9.

So, what is the proper way to purge the service and host logs?  Right now  
the only way would be to stop Nagios, purge the files, and restart  
nagios.  Which I don't really want to do.

Thanks,
Jeff

Re: [Perfparse-users] Performance, moving perfparse to its own server?

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

Hi :)

With your configuration, have nagios on one machine, and the perfparse bi=
nary on that
machine.
Put the database, CGI and web server on the other machine.
It should work very well :)

[Perfparse-users] Performance, moving perfparse to its own server?

[Jeff S. <je...@sk...>]

Howdy,

My Nagios server is already pretty busy, doing nagios stuff, and I have a  
dedicated DB server.  Is there any issues with moving the perfparse CGI's  
to their own server?  Seems like that would work ok, since all the Data is  
in a database...

RE: [Perfparse-users] database size....

[James O. <jo...@re...>]

A little more information on this issue as well... since nagios 2 beta
crashes on the kill -HUP signal, I turned off the log rotation via
perfparse.  It appears after some testing last night that perfparse is not
correctly calculating hashes on my system.  I upgraded to 100.6, dropped the
existing database, and used perfparse to load the current log file.  It
stopped (it was running under the daemon shell script) halfway through and I
restarted perfparse.  It then said that it was moving to the line that it
had stopped on, after which it said that the hash was incorrect and started
reloading the data from the beginning of the file.  I suspect that this is a
regular occurrence because over the last month a 1.5 million line logfile
generated 62 million rows in the perfdata_service_bin table.

I am using perfparse 100.6 on fedora core 2 if that helps any...

With next version 0.101.x, perfparse (the scanner, not the CGI) is enough=
 modular to let
you write your own database backend. If you want to contribute like that,=
 contact Ben or
I and we will explain you what to do to install and work on 0.101 (not re=
leased yet)

Re: [Perfparse-users] Crah with 100.4

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

Hi,

I suggest that you don't use that option and do it yourself, in a script =
or rotatelog or...
Next version is a little different and this feature will not be maintaine=
d because it is
not the role of perfparse to remove or rotate that log file.

Thanks for the bug report, anyway :)

Re: [Perfparse-users] Crah with 100.4

[Christophe G. D. <cgo...@ho...>]

Hello,

I've upgraded my perfparse version to 100.6, and Ihave the same problem.
In fact, this segmentation fault is caused by the --delete-host-log option.
The program crash only if this option is enabled.
This problem appear with the command line too.

Thx.

yes, if it is a crash, probably :)
Could you run that command line yourself, outside of a script ? Does it
crash too ?
If yes, is there any core file ?
Compile perfparse again, with -g option enabled:
/configure <your options here>
make CFLAGS=-g
make install CFLAGS=-g

Run perfparse again to generate a new core.
Please use gdb and send us the backtrace:

gdb perfparse --core=core

Re: [Perfparse-users] database size....

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

I found something about that when I ran out of space. I made a mistake an=
d lost all my
data (my fault). But if you try it and if you are not as stupid as me, it=
 can work :)

1/ dump your database somewhere
2/ drop the database and recreate it
3/ restore the data

If you are using innoDB, this is the only way to reduce the size of the m=
ysql files.
I don't remember where I read that, but if you have no other solution, tr=
y it and tell
us :)

About my mistake : I did 1/ 2/ 1/ instead of 1/ 2/ 3/ so I overwrote my d=
ump with empty
data :)

[Perfparse-users] database size....

[James O. <jo...@re...>]

Hi all,
 
I sent an email to the list about a month ago on this issue and haven't
gotten a response.
 
I have perfparse and am tracking about 80 servers and about 10 or so
monitors per server, all running at five minute intervals.  I have 30 days
worth of data in the database.
 
Currently the perfdata_service_raw table is 45M rows and over 800M.  The
perfdata_service_bin table is 62M rows and about 1.6G (this is due to not
purging for a long time before I got the deletion policies working, I think
its about 900M of actual data).
 
Due to the number of rows the perfparse-db-purge actually crashes mysql due
to running out of buffer space... I have upped this to 16M and it still
crashes.
 
I'd also like to be able to monitor trends in services over a longer period
of time, like say the last month, the last year, the last 5 years similar to
the way mrtg does, but with the dataset the way it is that is currently not
feasible.  
 
How much data are other people retaining?  Has anyone else run into similar
issues?  Does anyone have a solution?
 
Thanks,
James

Re: [Perfparse-users] Solaris 8 compile issues

[Jeff S. <je...@sk...>]

Figured it out...perfparse was stuck trying to write to /var/lock, which  
doesn't exist by default on Solaris.  The app was stuck in an infinite  
loop.  Might want to add a check, and bail out if it can't find the lock  
file.

RE: [Perfparse-users] Solaris 8 compile issues

[Harper M. <hm...@it...>]

http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/tuning_solaris.html

You might try "truss" to see what it's doing:

2.3.4. truss - Your Friend
The truss(1M) utility executes a specified command and produces a trace of
the system calls it performs, the signals it receives, and the machine
faults it incurs. 

truss can also follow the execution of an existing process. It is a very
useful tool to narrow down what resources an application is requesting from
the kernel that are slow or are used to excess. 

If you don't know about truss, then read the man page and give it a try. The
-m option is very useful for showing faults such as page faults. The -c
option gives a summary of: 

System calls


Faults


Signals


Cumulative times spent in each system call type


Number of failed system calls

Good luck!

are update.  But perfparse runs, sits and does nothing.  Never returns.   
Nothing to debug...I'm confused.  Any suggestions?

Re: [Perfparse-users] Solaris 8 compile issues

[Jeff S. <je...@sk...>]

FYI...I was able to work out my problems and get perfparse built on  
Solaris 8, I had to upgrade my version of GD.  I didn't see that anywhere  
any the docs.  Perhaps we should put together a list of requirements for  
compiling under certain platforms (Or if its there, I missed it.)

Thanks,
Jeff Scott

RE: [Perfparse-users] Solaris 8 compile issues

[Cook, G. <GW...@ma...>]

Glad to hear it worked out. As for the 'no responses', I saw a response
from Yves Mettier about four hours ago. He suggested that you look at
mysql, as libz (zlib) is not yet used by PerfParse. Did you not receive
that post?

Keep in mind that some of the folks on this list, including the two main
developers (Ben and Yves) are overseas (in reference to where I am, in
the US), so responses to posts may not be immediate.

Re: [Perfparse-users] Solaris 8 compile issues

[Jeff S. <je...@sk...>]

Ok...no responses, but I figured out this problem.  In case anyone is  
interested, the problem was the pre-built binaries of mysql for solaris 8  
appears to have been built with Sun C compiler, and not gcc...so,  
downloading source of mysql and building from scratch fixed this problem.   
However, I'm getting gd/png errors now...

Has anybody built this for Solaris?

Thanks,
Jeff Scott

libz.* is zlib.

perfparse does not use zlib (in fact, not yet :)
So your problem is probably in some other tool like mysql or glib.

Try "pkg-config glib-2.0 --libs" and "mysql_config --libs".
One of them will probably tell you something about ../zlib/libz.la
Find out why that one return ../zlib/libz.la if you don't have it.

[Perfparse-users] Solaris 8 compile issues

[Jeff S. <je...@sk...>]

I'm having difficulties compiling perfparse on Solaris 8.  Nagios, mysql,  
perl, everything else built fine, no issues.  I can't find what libz.la  
library is?  I already have all the zlib libraries installed...but libz.la  
is not part of this install.   This error occurs on 0.100.5 and 0.100.6...


/bin/bash ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -g -O2 -Wall    -o perfparse   
perfparse-perfparse.o -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -lmysqlclient -lposix4  
-lcrypt -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -lm  ../zlib/libz.la -L/usr/local/lib  
-lglib-2.0 -liconv -lm -L../libperfparse -lperfparse
mkdir .libs
libtool: link: cannot find the library `../zlib/libz.la'
*** Error code 1

Thanks!
