Hi Jessica,
I have cc'd this reply to mailing list perfparse-users, where there is a
lot of good quality information and some people who probably know more
than me about using PerfParse in anger :)
Thanks for pointing out the problems with the documentation. It's on my
TODO list to draw all the docs together.
You problems do seem to be database related. Have a look at this topics
in our FAQ:
http://wiki.perfparse.org/tiki-view_faq.php?faqId=5#q15
The Icon problem. There is some information in the installation guide
from Garry about linking Nagios directly to PerfParse. Is this what you
are looking for? There are no 'official' PerfParse icons I know about yet.
If you have any more problems, please contact my self or the mailing list.
Kind regards,
Ben.
