[Perfparse-users] First time install - some questions on options

[Richard D. <de...@ya...>]

I have been running Nagios 1.2 and want to add
perfparse to get the stats it can provide.  I am
setting up a new host for better performance on RHES4,
with MySQL version 4.1.7.  I reconfigured and
installed a new Nagios with --with-file-perfdata and
attempted to install the first way I found "Periodic
Nagios Log Parse".   I had a few problems with needing
to touch the error log file the first time, and
setting up correctly in the config the
"Storage_Modules_Load = mysql" which it now seems to
recognize (initially it complained about no storage
modules until this was fixed).   I have a
/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log that Nagios is
updating.  So here are the problems and questions:

1.  The MySQL database does not update still.  How can
I debug this better - or any suggestions?
2.  I started with the install using the first listed
as the "default".  I read the list and see that others
seem to go with pipe and perfparsed options.  Anyone
set up on RHES and using any other option?  

I am intereseted in a long term use with perfparse and
am at a point that I can go forward with what I have
if it is the best, or rebuild this new host before it
goes into production with a different approach.  
Anyone's input is welcome about how I can get the
MySQL issue resolved and how to best complete which
setup.   

I am including below my current setup for review and
comment/suggestions.

Cheers,

Richard

Re: [Perfparse-users] First time install - some questions on options

[abo <ab...@br...>]

is your error log complaining about something?
/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse.log

i had problems setting up mysql permissions and didn't notice it until i
saw that file.


see you
