rrd gaps

Hi,

the old NagiosGrapher interfaces (network/pipe) can cause huge
latency :-(. Thanks to a patch we got there is a new interface type
"file". The main advantages of this new interface are:
* no gaps any more
* no latency caused by NagiosGrapher
* restarting NagiosGrapher does not cause any gaps

I am sorry but the documentation totally lacks this interface. But below
is all you need.

Cheers,

Gerd




 
ngraph.ncfg:

    interface               file
    perffile_path           /dev/shm

nagios.cfg:

    process_performance_data=1
    service_perfdata_file=/dev//shm/service-perfdata
    service_perfdata_file_template=$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t
$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$\t$TIMET$
    service_perfdata_file_mode=a
    service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=60

service_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-service-perfdata-file


commands.cfg:
define command{
        command_name process-service-perfdata-file
        command_line
mv /dev/shm/service-perfdata /dev/shm/service-perfdata.$TIMET$
        }
