perfparse-users — Problems using PerfParse

[Perfparse-users] question

[Jeyri B. <jba...@in...>]

Hi, I want to install the perfparse program but I read that I need for =
the nagios run ./configure --with-file-perfdata, because the perfparse =
don=B4t work with default perfdata. When I execute the ./configure with =
--with-file-perfdata, all is ok but when I execute make all appear the =
following error:

[Ben C. <Ben...@ro...>]

Morning Michael,

PerfParse does not need or use Perl, Nagios does not need perl to work=20
with PerfParse.  I do not use Perl my self :)  However, some plugins do=20
use this.  You will have to consult the Nagios experts for more=20
information about this.

Secondly, MySQL.  Yes, you do really need MySQL version 4.  This has=20
transactions, which PerfParse uses to ensure your data is entered=20
correctly, and where problems to occur, these cause the program to break=20
without adding rubbish to your system.  I am sorry that SUSE 8.1 does=20
not have MySQL 4.  You can however install and build the raw system by=20
downloading the source from mysql.org.  This is pretty easy to do, and=20
will ensure you always have the latest version.  If you do this, please=20
deinstall MySQL binary files first, but not the 'data' :)

The environment I use is a RedHat Linux 7.2, which has been personally=20
upgraded by downloading raw source from various sites.  The box is about=20
1GHz with 512 memory and 40GB hard disk.  We have only about 30 hosts,=20
but over 300 services, running Nagios and PerfParse on the same system.=20
  The load of the box (if I look at the daily average from PerfParse=20
over last month :) is 1.035.  Well below the 2.5 advised limit for a=20
UNIX box.

If you want to lower the load, here are some tips (Garry, if your=20
reading, you may want to add to HOWTO :):

- Use two box's, one for Nagios, one for PerfParse.
- Use as much memory as you can get hold of.
- Set the 'Delete Policy' to 'Always' for any metrics you do not want to=20
work with.  They will then be ignored.
- Use the '--no-raw' option on PerfParse.

In the future there will be other options to control the load through=20
PerfParse, like deleting data only daily, which will also help.=20
Probably version 0.10 or 0.11.  Please watch for later release versions.

There are no real figures as to what specification is needed for a=20
certain service count.  I would be very interested in knowing what your=20
load is with your 500 services.

Kind regards, Ben.

[Perfparse-users] Re: [Nagiosplug-help] PerfParse v0.09

[Michael H. <Mic...@Me...>]

Hi Ben,
i read your documentation about perfparse and have some questions:

Is it necessary to build nagios for perfparse with options=20
--enable-embedded-perl	--with-perlcache?
I have some problems with embedded-perl using nagios-1.2, some plugins (1.3=
.1)=20
don=B4t work correctly.
For Suse81 there only exist mysql-3.23.52-106, i read that you need=20
mysql-4.xx, so my question is, is it possible to use mysql-3.23?=20

I think your project is very usefull and easier to configure than apan. Wha=
t=B4s=20
your environment, we are checking about 350 hosts with round about 1000=20
services, are there any problems checking a lot of hosts and services in=20
perfparse on a P-III-1000 with 256 MB -RAM?

Please let me know, thanks for your information.

With best regards

Michael Huettig

[Perfparse-users] Re: [Nagios-users] check_ping and performance data

[Jon L. <jly...@ya...>]

Yea, I was trying to suggest maybe modifying perfparse to ignore those lines, the curruption only occurrs after running perfparse a few times, and is always at the begining of the file. This file gets pretty huge very quickley on my system....

You can see the FROM_UNIXTIME() which should be a number and not

in your nagios.cfg are wrong. Can I suggest you look at the HOWTO for

delete your servicelog.cfg which is obviously not in a happy state.

There is a new version of PerfParse, 0.09.  For users upgrading from 
other versions, please be aware of a minor name-change of the CGI programs.

This version contains grouping of hosts, which some users requested, as 
well as many smaller enhancements and bug-fixes.  Thanks for all the

[Perfparse-users] Re: AW: [Nagiosplug-help] Check_ping performance data?

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

Sorry Philipp,

This will end up in the PerfParse 'drop' bin.  The performance data is 
badly formed.  It needs a ' ' and not a ';' between the metrics.

This should be very easy to edit in the source code of this plugin as a 
quick-fix.  :)

Ben.

Next Question to the check_icmp.
Although it produces performance data output, perfparse isn't able to
work with that data :(=20
My output looks like this:
OK - 192.168.110.22: loss 0%, rta 0.06 ms | pl=3D0;rta=3D0.06

Can anybody help me? :)

Re: [Perfparse-users] Re: [Nagios-users] PerfParse Help?

Jon,

This error would tend to indicate you have a blank like in the 
serviceperf.log file.  Probably at the top of this file.  Can you edit 
this and remove any blank lines?

(You can see the FROM_UNIXTIME() which should be FROM_UNIXTIME(1234567) 
which caused this specific error.  Some programming to enhance the 
robustness of PerfParse needs to be done here. :)

Re: [Perfparse-users] Re: [Nagios-users] PerfParse Help?

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

Sorry gues, this specific error of a max-scale is a bug in PerfParse.

PerfParse ignores the max value from the plugin at the moment, and 
instead looks at the entire sample before drawing the graph and notes 
the largest value it finds.  In the case of this being an *exact* 
multiple of a specific value (10x 20x 25x 30x or 50x ?) then the line 
is, as you say, hard up against the top of the graph.

This is noted as a bug on the PerfParse project page, and I will fix 
this soon.

Regards, Ben.

[Perfparse-users] RE: [Perfparse-users]-Fixed

[Jon L. <jly...@ya...>]

My check_ifstatus plugin and perfparse is somehow
currupting  hostperf.log serviceperf.log, does
perfparse write to these files or only read them? What
ever was wrong I needed to delete the nagios log files
and re-create and remove my plugin with the perfparse
mods.

The only other thing that I can think of is that maybe it IS a problem
with the check_ifstatus plugin. Instead of using the plugin that you
edited, apply the patch that I sent to the list a few hours ago, and
give that a shot. It's working fine on my system.
Make sure the patch is applied to the original plugin, not the one
that's giving you headaches.

Try this instead:

Add a space between the -P parameter and your password.

Change the 'Max Scale:' value in the web form to something higher than
the number of interfaces (for the service above, change '<auto>' to
'15'), then redraw the graph.

I think that currently the graph is being drawn with a max scale value
equal to the number of interfaces, so the data is there, although you
cannot see it because it runs right along the top of the graph.=20

Thanks for the heads up Ben. I've poked and prodded a little more, and
this patch seems to work well. However, I'm not going to send it over to
the plugin development list just yet, as I've already notified them of
the issue, and I'm sure that there is probably someone over there who
can make it work even better. If I don't see anything about it in the
next few days, I'll send them this one.

In the meantime, if anyone is using check_ifstatus (Jon, are you still
out there?), please test this out and provide me some feedback.
Thanks.=20

Due to the fact that this is probably going to wordwrap, I've attached
the patchfile as well.

Looks like I was somewhat overzealous, and did not do enough testing.
While the patch above does allow Nagios to process the performance data
from the check_ifstatus plugin, the $PERFDATA output is still not
formatted correctly.

I'll look at it again when I have some more time, although I'm going to
have to study up on the output method first, so it may take me a while.

Re: [Perfparse-users] Re: [Nagios-users] PerfParse Help?

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

This is a badly coded plugin.  The format is wrong.  It should be:

| up=12 down=0 dormant=1 excluded=0 unused=0

Not:

|up:12,down:0,dormant:1,excluded:0,unused:0

I suggest you post this as a bug to the nagios-plugin web site.  Or/and 
edit the source code to correct this :)

I'm not seeing this plugin in PerfParse either. Here is the output of
the command:

/usr/local/nagios/etc: sudo ../libexec/check_ifstatus -H <IPADDRESS> -C
<CSTRING>
OK: host '<IPADDRESS>', interfaces up: 12, down: 0, dormant: 1,
excluded: 0, unused: 0 |up:12,down:0,dormant:1,excluded:0,unused:0
/usr/local/nagios/etc:=20

From the log, same plugin, different router:

1087391844      lyn-rtr Interfaces      OK: host '<IPADDRESS>',
interfaces up: 5, down: 0, dormant: 0, excluded: 0, unused: 0     up:5
,down:0,dormant:0,excluded:0,unused:0

Lots of these in the drop file:

--------------------------
LINE: '24'
HOST: 'knx-rtr'
SERV: 'Interfaces'
PERF: 'up:5,down:0,dormant:0,excluded:0,unused:0'
FAIL: 'Metric 0, Can't find end of metric name.'
--------------------------

The good news is... This is the only plugin that appears in my drop
file. :-)

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

Norbert,

Your problem might be permissions.  The owner of the programs does not 
matter, but they must be read and executable by Apache, eg:

$ cd nagios/sbin
$ ls -l perf*

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        24760 Jun  8 10:02 perfchart.png
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root        39864 Jun  8 10:02 perfgraph.cgi

(The user 'root' is sometimes used on CGI as is makes the code 
unhackable if the web server, like Apache, is compromised.  But this is 
a matter of contention.  Use what you like. :)

Can you also tell me what browser you are using.  Some versions of the 
KDE browser (Koncorer?) have a bug which I have not yet coded for, which 
can produce this error.

If this is not the case, you will need to look at your html server setup.

Regards, Ben.

PS, the file names shown above are currently being discussed as to what 
they should be.  Please use what ever your version has compiled and no 
other.
