No perf-definition for service.

[Tedman Eng]

The check-command definition for apan.sh is called with:
apan.sh $ARG1$ $HOSTNAME$ "$SERVICEDESC$" $TIMET$ $ARG2$ $ARG3$
These correspond to:
CHECK=$1   HOST=$2   SVCNAME=$3   TIME=$4   WARN=$5   CRIT=$6

(CHECK must be one of:
disk,nt-net,nt-disk,nt-smtp,nt-load,load,ping,lxk_pages,snmpget,disk_by_snmp
)
1. "check_local_disk" is the $CHECK command that apan will try to use.
There's a CASE statement in apan.sh which looks for this service keyword.
"check_local_disk" is not in the stock APAN, so either change it to "disk"
or edit apan.sh to include "check_local_disk"

(SERVICEDESC to nagios is the SVCNAME to apan)
2. Remove the spaces in the service description, don't use 'questionable'
characters (stuff that _might_ mess up shell text-parsing utils, / \ @ $ % ;
etc..)
3. Make it match the second field of your apan.cfg line.

(I'm assuming you're checking Unix disks)
4. Your service.cfg and apan.cfg entries are NT-style.  Revise them to
Unix-style. (see the apan how-to's)
5.  The RRD files are NT-style.  Revise them to Unix-style. (see the apan
how-to's)

Here's the relevant changes
-------------------------------------------------
#service.cfg
 define service{
         use                             generic-service
         host_name                       nagios-server
         service_description             Disk-usage
         is_volatile                     0
         check_period                    24x7
         contact_groups                  squarebox-support
         notification_options            c,w,r
         check_command            apan!disk!50!75

# apan.cfg
nagios-server;Disk-usage;/usr/local/nagios/rrd/nagios-server-disk-usage.rrd;
/|/boot;root:AREA boot:STACK;Disk usage;%;

# Create an RRD file
rrdtool create /usr/local/nagios/rrd/nagios-server-disk-usage.rrd -s 60
DS:root:GAUGE:300:0:U DS:boot:GAUGE:300:0:U RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:50400
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:60:43800

Hope this helps!
