Thanks for the reply.

I am trying to add support for Nagiosgrapher. So far it does not pick  
up any information - not surprisingly since the files are blank.

The plugins do show performance data on the detail screen, so that  
part must be working: they are actually producing it.

It looks like I am missing something very basic. It's as if the  
context is lost when it tries to execute the process-service-perfdata  
command. Most macros do not get parsed, although $USER1$ as well as  
$ARG1$ and so on get recognized.

Looking at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/macrolist.html it  
appears that a number of macros are supported for Service Perf Data,  
but that's not the behaviour I see.


Other than compiling from source, any other tips?


Thanks,


M
