Performance Data

[Cook, Garry]

Sure, PerfParse can handle perfdata returned by any plugin, provided
that it is returned properly as outlined here:
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html#AEN185
However, some of the plugins do not yet return performance data.
 
Any plugin that returns perfdata will have a pipe ' | ' followed by the
new perfdata after the normal output. You need plugins v1.4.0 alpha to
get any perfdata at all. To get the maximum number of perfdata
supporting plugins you should get them from CVS.
 
check_by_ssh I'm not sure about, you'd have to test this and see. 
check_nt (nsclient) does not currently return performance data, although
I'm working on fixing that today. Wish me luck.

My question would be then: Can perfparse handle nsclient info? Can it
also handle check_by_ssh grabbed info?

I don't really want to change the way I monitor things to allow for a
performance history graph.

I am aware of two add-ons that make use of the Plugin Performance Data.

Both PerfParse & Nagiosgraph are listed in the downloads/add-ons section
of the Nagios.org web site.

 

Nagiosgraph mentions rrd in the description, but I have not yet looked
at it.

PerfParse is what I use, and I also contribute back to the project. No
rrd support yet, it uses MySQL. RRD is on my list of things to integrate
(if possible).

I am currently in the midst of attempting the same thing. So far, there
is no easy way to do this that I have found. Nagmin, a webmin plug-in,
proposes to do so, but I couldn't get it to work, nor could another
member of the list. I am currently trying to get a different method
together from a friend of mine that managed to do it manually. Good luck
in finding a method, and definitely let us know if you find an easy one.

I was hoping to integrate some form of performance data tracking using
rrdtool with nagios.  Does anyone have any suggestions for a good
solution.  I was hoping for something which is simple to install and
maintain.  

Thank you,
