[Perfparse-users] FASD project: Online survey launched

[<ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.

[Perfparse-users] Problems compiling

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

Marcelo,

I am very glad to hear you are working with PerfParse.  This was 
designed exactly to overcome the problems of the performance data being 
so inaccessible.

Looking at the error, I believe the compiler cannot find the MySQL 
libraries.  These are defined in the 'Makefile' as:

CFLAGS= -I/usr/local/include/mysql
LDFLAGS= -L/usr/local/lib/mysql

(These lines do include more information.  Do not adjust any other parts.)

Therefore we looking for the libraries in /usr/local/include/mysql.

Can you please locate the file 'mysql.h', then adjust the Makefile to suit.

To help with this, please look at the Makefile in the Nagios directory. 
  If you have compiled Nagios with support for MySQL, There will be a 
similar line to above.  You can copy this directly if you so choose.

Please let me know if this solution works, as other users may be greatly 
interested.

Sorry about this, later versions will not have this problem.

Regards,

Ben.

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

Marcelo,

Thanks for the information.

First, can I suggest you upgrade perfparse to the latest version,  0.05. 
  The version you have has a memory problems.

More importantly, your nagios is not producing performance data.  Can 
you please check for me:

1. You are using the latest Nagios, 1.2.

2. You are using the latest nagios plugins.  Only these produce 
performance data.  You can check this by running one, like 'check_disk'. 
  If you have performance data, this should reply:

DISK OK - free space: / 8089 MB (22%); /boot 35 MB (76%) | 
/=8089MB;33312;35163;0;37014 /boot=34MB;40;42;0;45

You can see the performance data beyond the '|'.

3. You have compiled nagios with the option to produce performance data. 
  Using the '--with-file-perfdata'.  Ie:

./configure --with-file-perfdata

4. Set the permissions on the servicelog file as -rw-rw-r-- ie:
$ chmod 664 serviceperf.log

5. Check 'nagios.cfg', ensure you have these lines somewhere:

process_performance_data=1
xpdfile_host_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/hostperf.log
xpdfile_host_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$
xpdfile_service_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log
xpdfile_service_perfdata_template=$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPUT$\t$PERFDATA$

Regard, Ben
