Hi Barry,

Sorry to hear things are not working so well for you.  I have moved this 
posing to perfparse-users where more users may be able to help you 
identify this problem.

One reason I can think of it that the script is doing something, it's 
just taking a long time.  I guess you are using Method 1 described in:

http://perfparse.sourceforge.net/docs.php#id265256

Can you extract the perfparse command from the perfparse.sh and try 
running it manually with the -s and -r flags.  This will be something like:

$ /usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse-log2db -s -r

Can you tell me what is returned?

Ben

[Perfparse-users] Re: [Perfparse-devel] perfparse.sh problems

[barry m. <bar...@sh...>]

When I try and run the command 

[root@localhost etc]# /usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse-log2db -s -r
No position mark path was specified. Either disable saving the position or specify a mark path.
[root@localhost etc]#

I also have the error_log defined in the .cfg see below



# Error handling :
Error_Log =                  "/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse.log"
Error_Log_Rotate =           "Yes"
Drop_File =                  "/tmp/perfparse.drop"
Drop_File_Rotate =           "Yes"

I have left the script running overnight. Is there anyway I can enable debugging??


Many thanks for all your help.

Barry

Hi Barry.

You must specify a mark path in order for the script to run.

Eg:
Service_Log_Position_Mark_Path =    "/usr/local/nagios/etc/"

I do not know why your script is not running.  When you run 
perfparse-log2db -s -r you should get an output:

00:00:01 read 14 @ 0.0 l/sec.  Met 13 @ 0.93 Met/l.  Drop 0.
+-----------------------------+   +-----------------------------+
| Generic statistics          |   |                             |
|   Nb lines parsed :      14 |   | Nb lines dropped :        0 |

|   Start time :     17:01:29 |   | Rate : (line/sec)     14.00 |
+-----------------------------+   +-----------------------------+

|   New Metrics :           0 |   | Metrics Recorded :       13 |
|   New Services :          0 |   | SQL Queries :           200 |
+-----------------------------+   +-----------------------------+

If this is not the case something is wrong.  Otherwise you may just have 
a very large log file.  Can you tell me how many lines in your log file?

Ben

[Viljo M. <na...@ma...>]

Hey,

Just an idea. I once had exact same problem and the reason was, that 
'Error_Log' wasn't defined in perfparse.cfg, there was some other name 
given for it. Or the perfparse.sh script searched for other errorlog 
name, don't remember exactly.
