perfparse-users — Problems using PerfParse

Re: [Perfparse-users] Problems processing serviceperf.log

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

Darren,

Just to make sure:  You have compiled Nagios to use the performance=20
method of 'file'?

Eg, something like:

./configure --with-file-perfdata

In my nagios.cfg I now have the following entries:

#service_perfdata_command=3Dprocess-service-perfdata
xpdfile_service_perfdata_file=3D/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log
xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=3D$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$=
OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$

Please ensure similar entries are similar.  Especially the last line=20
which must be identical.

You should now have a file with performance data waiting for PerfParse :)

Ben

Re: [Perfparse-users] Load metrics values as integer ?

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

Jaap,

I am glad you like our little project :)

PerfParse stores all values as floating point, even if they are integer. 
  The problem must be further up the chain.  My own show_load does give 
real numbers.

Can you check that your show_load does produce floating point values, 
and these do get into the serviceperf.log file?

If so, can you show me a line of this log file with this data.  I can 
enter this into my setup and see how it behaves.

Regards, Ben.

RE: [Perfparse-users] Problems processing serviceperf.log

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

Just to clarify the directions, do the processing commands get
uncommented?
#host_perfdata_command=3Dprocess-host-perfdata
#service_perfdata_command=3Dprocess-service-perfdata

Without them I get no logs, and I've verified everything else in the
document is correct (again)

With these uncommented I get logs, but no graphs. Is there a DEBUG I can
turn on to see if something funky is going on?

Thanks for your time.

If the plugin produces performance data, PerfParse with parse and graph
it.

However, there is a stage between the plugin showing data and PerfParse=20
getting it.  The same information must appear in the serviceperf.log=20
file.  Can you let this file develop for a while and check it to see=20
whether there is performance data?

If there is not, then there are some pointers in the HOWTO on how to=20
ensure Nagios logs this data.

Let me know how you get on.

[Perfparse-users] Load metrics values as integer ?

[Jaap H. <jaa...@ma...>]

Hi list,

I'm new to using perfparse, and I really like it !
Kudos to the developers !

Forgive me if this is a FAQ, but I was wondering
about the performance data coming from the check_load plugin.

I see correct values,(in serviceperf.log) but it looks like perfparse
will store the values as integers, where I would like to
see the decimal part of the load as well.

I use perfparse version 0.99.01 with plugins version 1.4.0alpha1.

Is there a way to change this ?

Many thanks,

Jaap Hogenberg

[Perfparse-users] A bug in version version 0.99.02

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

Dear Users,

Sorry to admit to a small bug I introduced to version 0.99.02.

Line 164 of src/cgi_bin_report.h should read:

	sColour, sProgName, sCGIOut);

And not:

	sProgName, sColour, sCGIOut);

Please alter and re-make.

This only effects this version.  The next version will be out very shortly.

Regards, Ben

RE: [Perfparse-users] Problems processing serviceperf.log

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

Got this.

The default commands in misccommands.cfg are not ended with a new line.

So everything was on one big line.

Not good.

[Perfparse-users] New version **important**

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

New version of PP out: 0.99.02.

This has been coded to work with Netscape and other older browsers.

There is also an important bug fix if you are using Solaris.  Thanks to 
much work from Yves.

There was a problem reported on version 0.99.01 where a use lost their 
data when 'perfparse-purge-db' was run.

Can I ask all members with this version to be careful.  Don't run the 
purge and/or check the delete policies against your data carefully.  The 
purge is disabled in 0.99.02.

Regards,

Ben.

[Perfparse-users] Perfparse segfault on Solaris (fixed)

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

Answering to Darren Kemp...

I think I found the bug.
Read my_gethostname() at the beginning of config_file.c. Can you find the=
 malloc() ?
The bug is there: you read malloc(sizeof(MAXHOSTNAMELEN)) instead of
malloc(sizeof(char)*MAXHOSTNAMELEN)
Please change and recompile !

btw, Ben, this bug only happens on Solaris. Linux does not execute that c=
ode.

g
> dir, it exits normally as it should.
>

> compile on a different server.

Not so strange. Here is why:
When there is a buffer overflow somewhere, the program writes data in som=
e places it
should not. If you don't use Electric Fence, it usually writes data on th=
e same memory
page, which is forbidden, but does not generate a segmentation fault.
Writing data after the limit can overwrite other data. Then, those data m=
ean nothing.
And when fgets in our case, or other instruction (often printf) tries to =
do something,
it works with those corrupted data which make the program crash.

Now, the bug is not where it crashes. This is why you usually crash a pro=
gram somewhere
on a system, somewhere else on another system, never on other systems, an=
d in different
places with gdb or Electric Fence. Moreover, if you add printf() to debug=
, it will crash
again in a different place, or even not crash but corrupt the data !

The easy way that does not work all the time is to use gdb. The hard way =
that has always
worked 100% of the time for me is to use Electric Fence and either gdb wi=
th the dumped
core, or printf everywhere in the source code. printf("%s:%d\n", __FILE__=
,__LINE__);
It took me 10 minutes to find our bug when I started to use Electric Fenc=
e !

Now, if you move the config file somewhere else, it exits normally. This =
is because
my_gethostname() did not corrupt the data or the code to test if the file=
 exists and
exit if not. But even if it seemed to work, it was already buggy !

Well, thanks for reporting that bug that I consider as serious.
Please edit config_file.c yourself ASAP, or wait for 0.99.02 that Ben wil=
l probably
release before tomorrow.

Re: [Perfparse-users] [Perfparse-users]

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

Wilson, Philipp,

It's on our TODO list to inherit the Nagios groups.  Unfortunately it's=20
not as simple as that because:

- The Nagios groups may be defined in MySQL, PostgreSQL or text files.=20
Especially with Nagios 2.0.
- The Nagios groups only include current hosts.  PP shows all hosts=20
there ever were.
- PP might be on a different server, or use a different DBMS, or a=20
different database in the same DBMS. =3D> It might be hard to find the gr=
oups.
- PP might take input from many Nagios servers, all with different and=20
maybe conflicting groups...

Quite a lot of programming to import the groups. :)

I do believe Yves will be working on an import/export program to set the=20
groups from a text file.  This may make it easier to cut/paist from=20
Nagios to PP in the future.

In the mean while, sorry about having to set up groups twice.

Secondly, Philipp is right, PP only shows data it can find.  Therefore=20
the Binary data is likely to miss any hosts or services which do not=20
produce any binary data..

Again, on our long-term TODO we are planning to configure the hosts=20
optionally from a list.  Therefore including missing hosts, and=20
excluding hosts the user does not wish to see. :)

Ben

PS, we are looking for developers.  If there is anybody on this group=20
who wants to have a 'hack' at this, please do :)

I hope that feature will be implementet soon, as far as perfparse is

you have to reconfigure the groups in perfparse.

Check your Plugins, maybe not all of them return performance Data,
Perfparse can only make Graphs when Performance Data is returned
correctly.

[Perfparse-users] [Perfparse-users]

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

Hi all.

The performance data seems to be running ok, but the pages look odd.

The option: "Select Host Group" shows only <All Groups>. Selecting this, I
got only 11 hosts, from different nagios groups (I'm monitoring 97 hosts).
Doesn't PP inherit nagios groups? Do I need to configure the groups again?

Into the "Graph Binary Data" I got all the hosts, but only those 11 bring
some service information.

The "View Raw Plugin Data" also brings all the hosts, but clicking on
"Histoty" I got "no events found".

I've defined a group named "routers" with 17 routers. In "View and Graph
Binary Data"/Select Host Group "routers" I got only the header:

Host  Service Graph  Metric  Last Reading  Value  Unit State

The page title shows: "Please select a Metric to Analyse" but I can't see
any Metric to select.

Am I crazy?

Please, help me again.

Regards,

Wilson

I've used the recommended config in:

But that added the same "Performance Info" link that nagios brings by

[Perfparse-users] New version

There is a new version of PerfParse, 0.99.01.

There is now a history report of Nagios plugin raw output, which also 
gives an availability report.  Found under 'Raw Plugin Data' -> 'History'.

Thanks for the support and feedback.  Please enjoy using this product,

RE: [Perfparse-users] Nagios plugins problems after PerfParse

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

Hi Ben.

You're right! The problem was the resource.cfg owner. I don't know why, but
its owner had changed from nagios to root, so after changing back to nagios
the problem was solved.

Thanks.

Wilson,

You may already have had my reply from yesterday.  I think the 
sourceforge mailing lists are playing up.  Or maybe it's my mail server.

Perfparse cannot effect Nagios in any way.  It only reads the log file 
serviceperf.log.  I think therefore this problem is unlikely to be 
caused by Perfparse.

To help me understand your problem, can you tell me whether this is 
specific to one plugin, or are there many which cause this?

If it's only one, can you let me know which one it is?

Can you check as well that Nagios was shut down fully, you did a 'ps' 
check to ensure all Nagios bits had died, and then started it up.  This 
can often cause problems with version 1.x.

Please let me know how you get on.

Regards, Ben Clewett.

[Perfparse-users] Nagios plugins problems after PerfParse

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

Hi all.

I had nagios 1.2 running on redhat 9 and everything was fine.

nagios was installed with this configuration:

./configure --enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache --with-file-perfdata

I've enabled performance data in nagios according to:

http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=23344&group_id=109355

Perfparse was installed and mysql db configured.

After that i run "./perfparse -r".

Now i'm getting on nagios log only:

Warning: Return code of 127 for check service 'xxxxxxxxx' on host 'xxx' was
out of bounds. Make sure the plugin you're trying to run actually exixts.

Actually I don't know if the problem occurred after PP installation or after
"./perfparse -r". 

I've already verified the permissions and everything has nagios/nagios as
owner.

Could anybody help me?

Regards,

Wilson

[Perfparse-users] List of supported plugins?

[Jeff B. <Jef...@st...>]

Hello all, just ran across PerfParse and have started incorporating it
into Nagios 2.0 from CVS. I was curious if anyone has compiled a list of
plugins known to work at this point? It would be nice to see what works
and what doesn't. =3D)

I am having the same seg fault issue as Tim did (in the list archives)

However my mysql server and the server running perfparse are one and the
same. I have looked around and see no old versions of mysql laying
about, just the one I installed last week.

Wondering if anyone else has hit this issue without the differing SQL

Correct me if I'm off but shouldn't this be pointing at the

The above just gives you another link to the Performance Info

Any help anyone can give would be appreciated. I'll keep fumbling with
it in the meantime.
