Hi,
Righto, thanks for the advice. I admit, I was using the nagiosexchange
website to post that and I stuffed it up by not quoting your post.
Anyhow, did some more digging and while this should probably go to the
NagiosGrapher forum, I'll post it here for others who might be having
the same problems.
With the problem example here, the service in nagios is defined rougly
with a host_name of "aragon" and a service_description of "Current
Load". In the NagiosGrapher config, the definition for the service_name
is "LOAD". So, the problem is the comparison check line in collect.pl
which reads
# Adding Graph Value Key's
foreach ((at)blocks) {
if ( $service =~ /$_->{service_name}/ ) {
The $service at this point will be "Current Load" and the $service_name
is "LOAD", which with the above pattern match will fail and then not
define the step and heartbeat.
To solve, either make the comparison case insensitive or change the
$service_description or the $service definition to match each other. The
first one will stop any proper regex matching I think (not too sure how
that all works), but as a temp fix you could change the if line to
read:
if ( $service =~ /$_->{service_name}/i ) {
Cheers
Alastair
