PerfParse (solved)

[Christian Lahti]

Ok, an update to this.  I am now getting data stuffed to perfparse
database, here are the performance data processing commands in
misccommands.cfg: that are working:

 

# 'process-service-perfdata' command definition

define command {

   command_name   process-service-perfdata

   command_line   /usr/bin/printf "%b"
"$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$S
ERVICEPERFDATA$\n" | /usr/bin/perfparse-log2mysql -c
/etc/nagios/perfparse.cfg

 

# 'process-host-perfdata' command definition

define command {

   command_name   process-host-perfdata

   command_line   /usr/bin/printf "%b"
"$TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$HOSTOUTPUT$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$HOST
PERFDATA$\n" | /usr/bin/perfparse-log2mysql -c /etc/nagios/perfparse.cfg

 

Here are the relevant nagios.cfg entries:

 

process_performance_data=1

host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata

service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

 

#all other perfdata entries are commented out, perf data going directly
to mysql via above pipe

#host_perfdata_file=

#service_perfdata_file=

#host_perfdata_file_template=

#service_perfdata_file_template=

#host_perfdata_file_mode= 

#service_perfdata_file_mode= 

#host_perfdata_file_processing_interval=

#service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=

 

Excellent tool, but the docs are pretty weak, I can send more info if
anyone else is having problems.

Hello all:

 

Has anyone been able to get PerfParse and Nagios 2.5 working correctly?
I have tried many options but it just does not seem to work.  I have
tried:

 

1)       having nagios printf to a log file then externally have
perfparse-log2mysql process, always complains about a file position
marker but the docs do not discuss this

2)       have nagios fire perfparse-log2mysql on a per-event basis
without the intermediate log file, this seems to work with no error but
NO DATA gets stuffed to perfparse database.

 

The perfparse documentation is a bit weak, there is no comprehensive "do
this" step by step.  There is not even detailed documentation on all the
various config file options that I can find.  I am running nagios 2.5 on
CentOS 4.3.

 

Thanks!

 

/Chris
