I redid the ./configure command to match my CentOS environment for Nagios
2.10

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/nagios/

and then redid the aformentioned command lines in the service definitions to
match the path to the new perl scripts.  Then I went back in my checks in
NagiosQL and checked the "performance data" box.

I'm assuming all I have to do now is just let the rrd files generate
themselves now?

(I ran an 'ls' in the /usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata folder, but no
folders by the same of hostnames, like I'm expecting)
