Yep. I had seen your post earlier and was hoping that there was an additional variable that I could add to tell nagios to include non-perfdata information in that file. This is a shame. In the past, my Nagios upgrades have went very smoothly.
Thanks for the reply. I am now happily up and running again on 3.2.3

After further investigation, it turns out that nagiosgraph isn't seeing of the output from my check commands. This information used to go to my service_perfdata_file.

But now that I've upgraded to 3.3.1, I don't appear to be seeing any of my custom commands (ones that don't have perfdata) in that file. And upon investigating more, if I include perfdata in my custom commands, it sends to that perfdata_file just fine. but if the performance data isn't there, it doesn't show up in that file.
