performance data from plugins - does it exist?

[Paulo Pinto]

Hi all.

The $PERFDATA$ macro contains everything that the plugin returns after a "|" (pipe) char.

At the moment, the plugins don't have that 'feature' implemented, but with a little code-hammering it's a no-brainer to achieve :)

Take, for example, check_http.c:

on line 836, you have:
                        printf
                                ("HTTP ok: %s - %d second response time %s%s",
                                 status_line,

If you change this to:

                        printf
                                ("HTTP ok: %s - %d second response time %s%s|http=%d",
                                 status_line,

and recompile ( "make" will do the trick ), you'll have "http=time" on the $PERFDATA$ macro everytime you use check_http.

BTW, on check_http.c, you have to change lines 799, 807, 820, 837 and 860. On other plugins, you'll have to search ... :-)

Hope this helps ...

Hugz,
