[Perfparse-users] Not finding hostgroups or hosts in nagios

[James T. <ja...@nt...>]

Hi i just installed perfparse so that i can use it with oreon.

Problem is after i install it it doesn't see any of the nagios host 
groups i have or hosts.

Here's how i installed everything from scratch.

Went to Nagios-2.7

./configure --enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache --disable-statuswrl 
--with-default-perfdata
make all
make install
make install-config
make install-init
make install-commandcmd

that installed everything in /usr/local/nagios

got perf parse .105.6
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios 
--with-imagedir=/usr/local/nagios/share/images/ 
--with-cgidir=/usr/local/nagios/sbin --with-http_image_path=/nagios/images
make
make install

cat mysql_create.sql | mysql -u root -p nagios
double checked the table to make sure everything was there.
changed the perfparse.sh.example to perfparse.sh and 
perfparse.cfg.example to perfparse.cfg

commented couple lines outta misccommand.cfg

went to nagios.cfg

cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios_perfparse.cfg
process_performance_data=1 host_perfdata_
command=process-host-perfdata service_
perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata


nagios_perfparse.cfg

define command{
        command_name    process-service-perfdata
        command_line    $USER2$/bin/perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl $USER2$/var/perfdata-service.log "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" "$OUTPUT$" "$SERVICESTATE$" "$PERFDATA$"
        }

I set the db name and host name and all that good stuff and make sure it can at least get in.
I logged into the webpage and it's there and everything.


restarted nagios with it embedded on the menu

I go there to see statistics on servers but it doesn't list any.
Help?

Ok so here's the deal i got a little farther

I changed some stuff and my parseperf.cfg look as follows:

Server_Port =                1976
Service_Log =                "/usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata.dat"
Service_Log_Position_Mark_Path =    "/usr/local/nagios/var"
Error_Log =                  "/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse.log"
Error_Log_Rotate =           "Yes"
Error_Log_Keep_N_Days =      "7"
Drop_File =                  "/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse.drop"
Drop_File_Rotate =           "Yes"
Drop_File_Keep_N_Days =      "7"
Lock_File = "/var/lock/perfparse.lock"
Show_Status_Bar = "no"
Do_Report =      "no"
Default_user_permissions_Policy = "rw"
Default_user_permissions_Host_groups = "rw"
Default_user_permissions_Summary = "rw"
Output_Log_File =                "no"
Output_Log_Filename =            
"/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse_output_log"
Output_Log_Rotate =              "yes"
Output_Log_Keep_N_Days =         "7"
Use_Storage_Socket_Output =         "no"
Storage_Socket_Output_Host_Name =   "localhost"
Storage_Socket_Output_Port =        "1974"
Server_Port =                    "1976"
Use_Storage_Mysql =              "yes"
No_Raw_Data =                    "no"
No_Bin_Data =                    "no"
DB_User =                    "xxx"
DB_Name =                    "xxx"
DB_Pass =                    "xxx"
DB_Host =                    "127.0.0.1"
Dummy_Hostname =             "dummy"

i got to the /nagiosroot/bin/
shell> /usr/local/nagios/bin# ./perfparse-log2mysql -r
+-----------------------------+   +-----------------------------+

So in other word it looks like i it's reading nothing and inserting 
nothing. I have no idea why.
Any suggestions as where to look? I need help bad thx.

Re: [Perfparse-users] Not finding hostgroups or hosts in nagios

[Florian G. <fl...@bi...>]

There are some different possibilities how to setup perfparse. One is to
give perfparse the data via the nagios command, one is to let perfparse
read the nagios perfdata log constantly and one is to let nagios write
to a named pipe and perfparse reads that pipe. All have its pros and
cons. As far as i can see you have mixed the pipe way with the second
way and you tried to look at the stats with the first way.

The easiest way to setup is to use the first way. Just try to change the
nagios command to use perfparse_nagios_command.pl (not
perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl), and if your database connection works
it should all work - if not, try to undo config file changes.
If you encounter performance problems with this way, you should try the
pipe thing - read the docs for that.

See i don't get how to check it then if i'm trying to do it the piped 
way. The install guide doesn't tell me anyway to check it except by 
running ./perfparse-log2mysql -r
I want to be able to get this thing to work with oreon and well i think 
if i can get it to work ANY WAY i'll be fine.

Here's what i've done for the configs
I have no idea how to check it besides going to the 
/cgi-bin/nagios/perfparse.cgi and checking it but according the the cgi 
it still isn't working
If you could give me some idea of how i can troubleshoot errors with 
this i'd be grateful. or highlight some trouble areas. This is me trying 
to set it up in pipe mode so if u can kinda guide me into pipe mode 
config that'd be great.

Re: [Perfparse-users] Not finding hostgroups or hosts in nagios

[Florian G. <fl...@bi...>]

O.K. let's try:

- do you have perfparsed running?
- you can check the error log. In your config it is set to
"perfparse.log". Use a absolute path if you cannot find that file.
- Is /usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata.dat a pipe? If it is a file,
it will not work. move the file away. As far as i remember perfparsed
recreates the pipe at startup.

Here's my config of a testing system:

Nagios command:

        command_line
/usr/local/nagios/bin/perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl /usr/local/nagios/va
r/serviceperf.log "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$"
"$SERVICEOUTPUT$" "$SERVICESTATE$" "$SERVI
CEPERFDATA$"
        }

perfparse.cfg:

Service_Log =                "|/usr/local/nagios/var/serviceperf.log"
Service_Log_Position_Mark_Path = "no"
Error_Log =                  "/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse.log"
Error_Log_Rotate =           "Yes"
Drop_File =                  "/tmp/perfparse.drop"
Drop_File_Rotate =           "Yes"

Lock_File = "/var/lock/perfparse.lock"

Nagios_Lock = "/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.lock"


Show_Status_Bar = "no"

Do_Report =      "no"


Default_user_permissions_Policy = "rw"
Default_user_permissions_Host_groups = "rw"


Output_Log_File =                "yes"
Output_Log_Filename =
"/usr/local/nagios/var/perfparse_output_log"
Output_Log_Rotate =              "yes"

No_Raw_Data =                    "no"
No_Bin_Data =                    "no"

DB_User =                    "nagiostat"
DB_Name =                    "nagiostat"
DB_Pass =                    "nagiostat"
DB_Host =                    "127.0.0.1"


This is my perfparsed startfile:

#! /bin/sh
#
### BEGIN INIT INFO

        if [ -f $PPPIPE ] ; then

        if [ "$APPLY_OLD_DATA" ] ; then
          echo "applying old data"
          cat ${PPPIPE}.old >> $PPPIPE

Ok

I reset everything according to your specs

i noticed a couple of funny things.
The log file doesn't come out at perfparse.log
it comes out as perfparse.log.20070305.log
and perfparse.drop
come out as perfparse.drop.20070305.log

Ok so obviously i can't get the piped way working. So... what i did is i 
just reconfigured EVERYTHING so i could do it with the default method or 
parsing the log file.

So i recompiled nagios --with-file-perfdata
then remade perfparse with the same data again
tossed in the default .cfg files from nagios and perfparse
so what i did this time instead is...

set the performancedata to 1 on nagios.cfg
added the following lines:

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$SERVICESTATE$\t$PERFDATA$

change perfparse.cfg to have the following settings:

# Server managment (perfparsed only) :
# ====================================

Server_Port =                1976

# Parser managment :
# ==================

# Performance Data Log Files ("-" for stdin) :
Service_Log =                "/usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata.out"
Service_Log_Position_Mark_Path =    "/usr/local/nagios/var/rw"

# Error handling :
Error_Log =                  "perfparse.log"
Error_Log_Rotate =           "Yes"
Error_Log_Keep_N_Days =      "7"
Drop_File =                  "/tmp/perfparse.drop"
Drop_File_Rotate =           "Yes"
Drop_File_Keep_N_Days =      "7"

and the rest is the same as before.

i looked at the service-perfdata.out to make sure nagios was logging perf data and it is.

no i goto ../bin/perfparse-log2mysql -r
and i get:

Just like before.
I checked the logs and nothing.
Tho when i had the Mark_Path set to "-" it was complaining it wanted a 
write directory which i gave it and that error went away.
I mean i am doing it in the first method correct aren't i? cause i 
thought i was doing it correct in pipe method and that didn't work.
Anything obvious with like sql versions i should be aware of? I'm using 
mysql 5.5.032-7

Thanks Much,
James

My last 3 ideas:

- remove unused config vars in your perfparse.cfg. I'm not sure - would
have to read the code - if config settings like
Storage_Socket_Output_Port =        "1974"
Server_Port =                    "1976"
overwrite the pipe settings.

- check if the plugins return performance data. Run them by hand. A
plugin that returns performance data should output things like this:
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_disk -w 5% -c 2% -p /
DISK OK - free space: / 360 MB (7% inode=-);| /=4643MB;4753;4903;0;5004
All after the "|" is performance data.

- Some nagios variables have changed. nagios 1.X had $OUTPUT$ and
$PERFDATA$ while they are renamed to $SERVICEOUTPUT$ and
$SERVICEPERFDATA$ in nagios 2.X. Unfortunately the perfparse docs are
old and badly maintained. Doublecheck your command definition. You could
also try to use the perfparse_nagios_command.pl to write to a file and
examine the file if it contains reasonable data.

Just to let you know i solved my little problem. It was an oversight on 
my own part. Apparently i had pieces of an apt-get install of nagios2 on 
my system
when i did the make install it had thrown in the mysql.so modules from 
perfparse into that folder instead of the source install i did of 
nagios2. For some reason the rest of the modules installed into the 
/usr/local/nagios folder however

Anyhow thanks again for all the help previously i really appreciated it.
So just a reference for apt users don't leave any remanants behind of 
nagios from apt
