perfparse-users — Problems using PerfParse

Re: [Perfparse-users] PerfParse not collecting any data.... whats wrong?

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

Dear Arnar,

You should be getting data.

Can you do two things for me?

Can you wait until you have a good sized log file.  Then run 'perfparse 
-r' and return me the output from the run.

Can you also check your drop file, which I see is /tmp/perfparse.drop. 
This might give you some reason why you have no data.

Regards, Ben

[Perfparse-users] PerfParse not collecting any data.... whats wrong?

[Arnar T. <ar...@ca...>]

Just installed PerfParse ( version 0.100.1 ) and no data is put into the
mysql database.

Running Nagios 1.2 on a redhat 9 system.
when running /usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse I get no output


/usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse --show_config
DB_User =3D        "perfmon"
DB_Name =3D        "perfmon"
DB_Pass =3D        "perfmon123"
DB_Host =3D        "localhost"
Drop_File =3D      "/tmp/perfparse.drop"
Service_Log =3D    "/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log"
Host_Log =3D       "/usr/local/nagios/var/hostperf.log"
Dummy_Hostname =3D "dummy"
Delete_Service_Log =3D         "No"
Delete_Host_Log =3D            "No"
Nagios_Lock =3D    "/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock"
Lock_File =3D      "/var/lock/perfparse.lock"
Be_Silent =3D      "no"
Do_Report =3D      "no"
Accept_Odd_Chars_in_Label =3D      "no"
Default_user_permissions_Policy =3D "rw"
Default_user_permissions_Host_groups =3D "rw"


I am using the check_http plugin ( which to my understanding is fully
compatable with PerfParse )

in /usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log getting :
1094062001      rex      HTTP    HTTP OK HTTP/1.1 200 OK - 4746 bytes in
0.531 seconds   OK      time=3D0.531222s;;;0.000000 size=3D4746B;;;0

but nothing is entered into the database for PerfParse, is the output in
the serviceperf.log not correct ?

After initial installation of PerfParse are all the tables in the
database suppost to be empty ?
what am I missing here ???

[Perfparse-users] Innodb files

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

Hi all,
 
Ok, I got the deletion policy issue resolved.  For whatever reason the
perfdata_delete_policy table was not populated, and once the two defaults
were in there it started working... However it was a bit too late ;)  I
discovered that my innodb file had grown to 13G, and one of the tables is
now totally unresponsive (perfdata_service_bin).
 
So the question that I have is if I want to have graphical data for these
metrics over at least the last year, if not longer, what data would I have
to keep?  What tables are used for generating the graphs?  
 
Secondly, I have a relatively small environment that I am monitoring with
nagios right now (in the neighborhood of 200 machines) and I have only set
up about 10% of them so far.  I have only had perfparse running for about a
month and a half and already generated a 13G database file... if I specify
the no-raw option will that drastically cut down on the amount of data being
stored?  Of course, if I can set short times on the delete policies and
still get graphs over the time period that I need then this becomes a
non-issue.
 
The third question is if anyone has had success using the file_per_table
option with innodb and mysql  and perfparse?  It seems like it would be
easier to manage the file sizes with separate files for each table.
 
Thanks,
James

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

There should be problems only if you set LANG=3Dfr

If you want to try again with no error messages, try this:
edit fr.po and find, at the very beginning, some line aboug CHARSET. Repl=
ace the string
"CHARSET" with something like "iso-8859-1" or "ISO-8859-1" or "ascii" or =
even "utf-8". I
hope that one works.
Also remove the fr.gmo file.
Then compile again.

Now, the configure have run ok, but the make brought:

Anyway, I didn't mind with the errors messages and installed the =

Do you think I'm gonna get any future problems?

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

This is a problem with locales. Compilation should never be done with roo=
t permissions.
I suggest that you copy nagios-plugins.pot as fr.po and try again

cp nagios-plugins.pot fr.po

Are you running 'make' as the root user? If not, try that.

[Perfparse-users] New version 0.100.1

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

New version, 0.100.1.

This has a re-written graph, which has better options, looks better and 
may be a little faster.

There is a simple option to store graphs for future reference.

http://perfparse.sourceforge.net/

Please enjoy and please give all the feedback you can.

Regards, Ben.

RES: [Perfparse-users] Odd and lack graphs [Was: Cannot run db-tool update [was: nagios restarting]]

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

Wilson,

What version of the plugins are you using?

I'm using CVS-20040819 with my patches to check_nt and check_tcp shows =
the results like this:

[root@nagioslab libexec]# ./check_tcp  -H 10.10.20.25 -p 23
TCP OK - 0.038 second response time on port 23 =
|time=3D0.037783s;0.000000;0.000000;0.000000;10.000000

Perhaps if you get the latest and greatest CVS your problems will go =
away. Personally, 1.4.0a9 didn't even finish compile in my Mandrake 10 =
box.

Yes, if pp finds a null character before the "|", it stops reading or int=
erpreting the
line and goes to the next line. If pp finds some end of line character, i=
t will stop
reading for that line and start interpretint it (without the perf data). =
Moreover, the
following characters are considered as invalid, and pp will continue on t=
he next line !
I don't even know how mysql works if there are strange binary data that p=
p does mind
working with.

Now I've perceived the lifetime of the plot correspond to that I run
perfparse.sh without --delete*. The perfparse log shows hash error and =
the
file was opened always at line 0 to parse. The time to perform the =
parse,
also, was growing and targeted 21 minutes in 24 hours.

I didn't find any option to avoid the binary data :(
Also the people from nagios-plugin list didn't answer the question.
Anyway, the binary data is before the "|", so I guess pp wouldn't mind =
with it. Am I wrong?

RE: [Perfparse-users] Odd and lack graphs [Was: Cannot run db-tool update [was: nagios restarting]]

[Wilson P. J. <wp....@te...>]

Ben,

I use check_tcp on port 23 for two reasons: in order to check if telnet =
service is available from my internal routers and to get perfdata for =
round trip time as an workaround for check_ping that doesn't have =
perfdata.

Re: [Perfparse-users] Odd and lack graphs [Was: Cannot run db-tool update [was: nagios restarting]]

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

Apologies if this email has already been answered.

Looking at the graph image, looks like the sample times are not in time 
order.  So the plot of plotting backwards and forwards in time.  Hence 
the interesting mess.

Interesting, I looked at my code, and I do not order the points by 
anything.  They are ordered as default, which is the order they points 
were entered into the database.  Not the time order :)

This can I change for next versions.

However, you still have a problem with your database.  Has the time, or 
time zone, been changed on your Nagios several several times during the 
lifetime of the plot?

Please let us know,

Ben.

Re: [Perfparse-users] Odd and lack graphs [Was: Cannot run db-tool update [was: nagios restarting]]

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

There are lots of difficulties with binary data.  The escape method we 
have for MySQL cannot cope with arbitrary binary data.  Several 
characters need escaping.  There are also characters like NULL, EOF, 
which are really bad to processing.  If we got that far, the binary is 
also illegal for HTML so that would need handling.

I suggest the correct solution it to try and get the binary data out of 
the plugin output.

The binary data is likely to be some form of Telnet handshake.  Sending 
the screen size, echo, cursor type, terminal type name etc.

If you are checking a telnet server, I would suggest using the correct 
check_telnet plugin which understands the telnet protocol.

Regards,

Ben

The reason is probably what is in the binary data.
1st: try to go around the difficulty instead of jumping over it: is there=
 an option to
check_tcp to write something else than binary data ? check_tcp --help wil=
l help you to
answer.

2nd: I'd really like to know what's inside that binary data. I also notic=
e that there
are [ and ] characters. Ben: is there somewhere something that say that p=
lugins can put
binary data between those 2 characters ? In that case, there may be somet=
hing to do in
perfparse ?

RE: [Perfparse-users] Odd and lack graphs [Was: Cannot run db-tool update [was: nagios restarting]]

[Wilson P. J. <wp....@te...>]

Yves,

The xpdfile_service_perfdata_template is correct. I have graphs for some =
plugins, but not to check_tcp. I don't know why there isn't the "|" in =
my old message, but check_tcp brings perfdata, as you can see:

[root@genesis var]# ../libexec/check_tcp -H 10.109.29.2 -p 23
TCP OK - 0.089 second response time on port 23 [        =
B=C3=87j=E2=98=BA@=E2=96=91=E2=95=9D] |time=3D88581us;0;0;0;10000

How could I check why the data aren't being imported?

Regards,

Wilson

[Perfparse-users] CHECK_LOAD and PERFPARSE

[Christopher D. C. <ch...@dh...>]

I have added check_load as a service to a host under Nagios. I can view
the Raw Plugin Data from Nagios in PerfParse but I can not get any of
the data to graph. I am also having the same problem with the PING data.

RE: [Perfparse-users] Odd and lack graphs [Was: Cannot run db-tool update [was: nagios restarting]]

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

Edit nagios.cfg. Do you have this ? If not, update, and restart nagios:

xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=3D$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$=
OUTPUT$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$PERFDATA$

I think this will do nothing anyways, when I see check_tcp output. There =
is no "|"
character that mean perfdata following that character.
In that case, either check_tcp does not send perf data, or check_tcp is b=
roken.
Have you already run check_tcp in an xterm to see the output ? (check_tcp=
 --help for help)
I have no other idea.

RE: [Perfparse-users] Odd and lack graphs [Was: Cannot run db-tool update [was: nagios restarting]]

[Wilson P. J. <wp....@te...>]

Ben,

running the command from shell the result is the same. I'm gonna check =
with
nagios-plugins developers.

I'm having problems with the graphs:

All the graphs I'm obtaining are similar to this one attached. It looks =
so
odd. What could be wrong?

Another question is regarding check_tcp, that besides the odd characters
brings perfdata but the graphs are empty (Sample Points: 0).

Regards,

Wilson=20

Re: [Perfparse-users] re: deletion policys

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

James,

I am glad you are making progress.

Odd, these tables should be automatically created when you use the CGI 
deletion policy editor.

Can you tell me what version you are using and whether you have used the 
CGI deletion policy tools?

Secondly, it looks like I forgot to give you one, please enter:

mysql> insert into perfdata_delete_policy values ( 'Raw Default' , '90' ) ;

See if that finally fixes things!

Re: [Perfparse-users] Cannot run db-tool update [was: nagios restarting]

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

Wilson,

The odd characters in the log file must come from a Nagios plugin.  Try 
running the command from the UNIX shell, does this give the same odd 
characters?

It looks like you have a plugin which reports the binary data it finds 
on a TCP port, or something similar.  This is dangerous data to return 
from a plugin.  If this is the case, you may consider writing an email 
to the author asking them to escape the binary data...

You can disable performance data for a plugin (somewhere?) which you may 
consider for this one.

RE: [Perfparse-users] new to perfmon

[Arnar T. <ar...@ca...>]

ok I changed  part in perfparse.sh from --delete to
--delete-service-log.

But I still dont get anything in the DB.

When I run /usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse -r binary manually I get no
output to screen, Is that normal ?  Also when I do perfpase --help there
is that line at the bottom that says:
    ...snip...
    Using default configuration file
    '//usr/local/nagios/etc/perfparse.cfg'

That extra 'slash' there at the begining of the path... is that suppost
to be there ?


Here is the output from perfparse --show_config if that helps:
[nagios@black148 var]$  /usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse  --show_config
DB_User =3D        "perfmon"
DB_Name =3D        "perfmon"
DB_Pass =3D        "perfmon123"
DB_Host =3D        "localhost"
Drop_File =3D      "/tmp/perfparse.drop"
Service_Log =3D    "/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log"
Host_Log =3D       "/usr/local/nagios/var/hostperf.log"
Dummy_Hostname =3D "dummy"
Delete_Service_Log =3D         "No"
Delete_Host_Log =3D            "No"
Nagios_Lock =3D    "/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock"
Lock_File =3D      "/var/lock/perfparse.lock"
Be_Silent =3D      "no"
Do_Report =3D      "no"
Accept_Odd_Chars_in_Label =3D      "no"
Default_user_permissions_Policy =3D "rw"
Default_user_permissions_Host_groups =3D "rw"
