[Perfparse-users] unable to get perfparse to work right

[Robert B. <rob...@gm...>]

All

I have Nagios 2.3.1 running and monitoring.  I have attempted to
install perfparse 106.1. but I am facing more frustration than getting
this thing to work.

I have followed the directions for pipe version at
http://perfparse.sourceforge.net/docs.php which did not work, i also
followed the steps at
http://wiki.perfparse.org/tiki-index.php?page=Example%20for%20configuration%20with%20a%20pipe
but things are not working.

When I go to my perfparse screen
http://<URL>/nagios/cgi-bin/perfparse.cgi?all_bin=1
There is no data present. Going to
http://<URL>/nagios/cgi-bin/perfparse.cgi?select_metric=1&host_name=SERVERNAME.
produces nothing.

Going to http://155.64.84.31/nagios/cgi-bin/perfparse.cgi?all_raw=1
produces
SERVERNAME  	 HTTP  	 UP  	 2006-06-03 11:15:54  	 $   	All 	Summary
  	                      NRPE-check_load  	 UP  	 2006-06-03 11:15:54
	 $   	All 	Summary
  	                      NRPE-Check_mem_free  	 UP  	 2006-06-03
11:16:24  	 $   	All 	Summary
  	                      NRPE-check_mpstat  	 UP  	 2006-06-03
11:16:24  	 $   	All 	Summ

the file /usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata-service.log has the same data
1149361852      ussj-pubwebpdcl02       NRPE-check_zombie_procs $
 OK      $

I am lost as to how make this work correctly - Anyone out there able to help?

TIA
Robert

Hi,

First make sure that your nagios checks return performance data. You can 
check that usually if you execute the checkcommands by hand and watch 
the output. Example:

./check_users -w 10 -c 20
USERS OK - 4 users currently logged in |users=4;10;20;0

The performance data are the ones that are behind the pipe (|).

Next: In nagios 2 the $OUTPUT$ uand $PERFDATA$ makros have been changed 
to $SERVICEOUTPUT$ and $SERVICEPERFDATA$. Check that you have the new 
ones in your perfdata-commands. Documentation has to be updated in that 
case.

Hope this helps.

Simply: This is a bug. Unfortunately i did not encounter this bug
because my test-installation had a incomplete 106.1. I'll try to hunt it
down as soon as i have more time. Expect 1-3 days.
