NagiosGrapher weird entries in logfile

[Dirk H. Schulz]

Hi Folks,

is this the right place to ask for help with NagiosGrapher? If not, please 
point me to an appropriate mailing list.

I am trying to run NagiosGrapher on Centos 5. I have installed and 
configured it according to Wolfgang Barths new Nagios book, but I am 
running into a weird problem.

I have configured Nagios to write the service perf data into a file which 
is renamed with a time stamp using the 
service_perfdata_file_processing_command directive. That works fine. The 
resulting files are named service-perfdata with the unix timestamp as 
extension.

NagiosGrapher is configured with "interface file" and "perffile_path 
/path/to/perffiles/". It apparently reads the files, but there is two weird 
entries in ngraph.log:

... REGEX: No blocks found for XXXXXXX			# while x is the timestamp 
extension of the perfdata file
... PIPE: [SERVICEPERFDATA] ...				# although no pipe is used for 
transferring performance data

The perfdata entries in the PIPE lines are correct, they contain all needed 
data.

I have also configured NagiosGrapher to include /etc/nagios/ngraph.d/ and 
placed a ping.ncfg there (copies from the examples). It refers to service 
"ping" which is used in the nagios config as service_name.

NagiosGrapher does not generate any rrd dbs in /var/lib/nagios/rrd/ which 
is configured to be the rrdpath.

Any hint or help is appreciated.

Dirk
