nagiosgraph do not work

[Alexander Schaefer]

Hello Günter,

i use nagiostat to generate a graphs for some of my service_checks. I use it
with Nagios 1.2 installed on SuSE 9.1 The linux distribution choice was very
important for this issue because i've spended many hours trying to get it
running with Debin Woody... At 05. August  i've posted in this mail list
about my "problem with processing performance data":  i don't have got the
performance data dumped at all from nagios at Debian. Thomas Gerhard told my
about a bug in Debian sarg releace, which is the reason for it. Although i
have had the Debian woody i thing this is the same issue...

If your problem is different one and you have no solution for it,  i can
help you sending my configuration file for nagiostat.

Here is the posting from 05. August:

just in case you are using debian sarge:
you might have been hit by bug 257289
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=257289)

Another idea: if you have enabled state retention you might want
to try to remove status.sav before restarting nagios.

Cheers, Thomas

not see in the Nagiostat README, although it may be in there somewhere, is
the fact that if you did not originally compile Nagios with perfdata
enabled, you will need to do so now. The HOW-TO on the PerfParse web site
goes into further detail about this, as well as linking back to the
appropriate Nagios docs on the subject, which can be found at
