blank perfdata: not parsing macros

[M P]

Hi,

I have nagios3 running (installed via apt-get on Debian). Everything  
worked pretty well until I tried to add graphing support.

As described in numerous how-tos, I added the following to nagios.cfg:

CODE: SELECT ALL
process_performance_data=1
service_perfdata_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata
service_perfdata_file_template=$LASTSERVICECHECK$\t$HOSTNAME$\t 
$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$SERVICEATTEMPT$\t$SERVICESTATETYPE$\t 
$SERVICEEXECUTIONTIME$\t$SERVICELATENCY$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t 
$SERVICEPERFDATA$\n
service_perfdata_file_mode=a
service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=30
service_perfdata_file_processing_command=process-service-perfdata


and kept the default value for the service-perfdata in commands.cfg:

CODE: SELECT ALL
define command{
    command_name    process-service-perfdata
    command_line   /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$LASTSERVICECHECK$\t$HOSTNAME$ 
\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$SERVICEATTEMPT$\t$SERVICESTATETYPE$\t 
$SERVICEEXECUTIONTIME$\t$SERVICELATENCY$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t 
$SERVICEPERFDATA$\n" >> /var/lib/nagios3/service-perfdata.out
    }



The trouble is that file /usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata  
remains blank (but it does get created), while /var/lib/nagios3/ 
service-perfdata.out gets filled with:
CODE: SELECT ALL
$   glass$   $   $   $   $   $   $   $   $



Glass is the name of localhost. There is a dozen other servers that  
nagios monitors, yet they don't show up in the service-perfdata.out  
file at all. It looks like macros ($LASTSERVICECHECK$, $SERVICEOUTPUT 
$) do not get recognized, but there may be other things going on that  
I have not identified.

All other features of nagios seem to be working fine. Macros  
definitely work in other commands.

Any help is greatly appreciated. If you need any other diagnostic  
info, I will provide it promptly.


Thanks,


M
