Perfdata

[Tedman Eng]

I noticed that when switching from originally not using perfdata and then
later started wanting to use perfdata, I had to clear out the status.sav
before the perfdata commands became active.  I'm guessing that the original
perfdata state, "process perf_data 0", got saved in the retention file,
which does not automatically toggle even after changing to
"process_perf_data 1" in the config file.

I can't find a web-interface way to enable perfdata on a per-service basis,
but the config files do allow granular control of which services use perf
data.

For example, I am using perfdata only for ping services.  My perfdata
command is just a simple command that write to log files.

global nagios.cfg:
process_performance_data=1

I have my generic service template setup without perf data:
define service{
        name                            generic-service
        process_perf_data               0
        register                        0

My ping service template is the only one running perf data:
define service{
        name                            service-ping
        use                             generic-service
        process_perf_data               1
        register                        0

Hi!

Is there some way to only push performance data of selected hosts or
selected services??
I use Nagiostat for my graphs and got a lot of trash in my log file... I
just use this log for debugging, but there
its also a lot of data which i dont need...

Thanks!
