Could this be a case where multiple updates to ngraph happen too close
together? So one update effectively denies data passing from nagios to
nagiosgrapher through the named pipe untill it is done and other updates
would silently be dropped.

The relevant sections in the nagios config are:


process_performance_data=1
service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

# 'process-service-perfdata' command definition
define command {
        command_name    process-service-perfdata
#       command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/eventhandlers/fifo_write.pl     /var/lib/nagios/ngraph.pipe     '$HOSTNAME$     $SERVICEDESC$   $SERVICEOUTPUT$ $SERVICEPERFDATA$'      3
        command_line    /usr/lib/nagios/nagiosgrapher/fifo_write.pl /var/spool/nagios/ngraph.pipe '$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$\n' 3
	}


I noticed the socket section in the ngraph.cfg file but could not find how
to use sockets instead of a named pipe. Nor do I know if it would remedy
the situation.
