How to make check_ntp NOT report its offset performance data using scientific notation?

[Steffen Poulsen]

We were wondering, is there any possible way we can avoid having check_nrpe report its offset performance data in scientific notation?

We would like to graph the offset under all circumstances, but sometimes it is unfortunately reported as:

offset=2.577755367e-05

And this gives us some trouble, as we would of course like to avoid having this graphed as 2.577 seconds (we are currently using NagiosGrapher for graphing).

If NagiosGrapher can be tweaked to accept the scientific notation reported, that would be another useful strategy - please enlighten us if you know how to achieve this .. :-)

Just for curiosity, what we currently do when graphing is accepting only the checks that do not use scientific notation:

2009-05-28 15:32:54 PIPE: fqdn     check_ntp       offset=2.577755367e-05  offset=2.577755367e-05
2009-05-28 15:32:54 REGEX: 1 blocks for 'check_ntp' found.
2009-05-28 15:32:54 REGEX: graph_value=difference
2009-05-28 15:32:54 REGEX: output=perfdata
2009-05-28 15:32:54 REGEX: regex=m/offset=([-+\d]+\.\d+)(s| |$)/i
2009-05-28 15:32:54 REGEX: perfdata=offset=2.577755367e-05
2009-05-28 15:32:54 REGEX: NO MATCH.
