More than one command defined

[Kaiwang Chen]

Not sure about 3.2.2.

In 3.2.3 nagios can be configured to both write to log and run a
defined command on each copy of perfdata.
PNP bulk mode relies on the former, and the following configure
directive are involved:
process_performance_data
host_perfdata_file
service_perfdata_file
host_perfdata_file_mode
service_perfdata_file_mode
host_perfdata_file_processing_interval
service_perfdata_file_processing_interval
host_perfdata_file_processing_command
service_perfdata_file_processing_command
Don't worry about uncommpleted files, Nagios will close the file,
invoke the file processing command, then reopen the file. The
performance data is logged in the file, you can then do what you like
in the defined processing command, which can be simply a /bin/mv to
move it to another place as PNP bulk mode with NPCD, or processing the
whole perfdata log file as PNP bulk mode.

the PNP default mode relies on the latter, and the following configure
directives are involved:
process_performance_data
host_perfdata_command
service_perfdata_command
Nagios simple invokes the comands passing in perfdata and other
infomation in NAGIOS_XXX environment variables (have a look at
parse_env() in process_perfdata.pl).


Let me know if it works.

Thanks,
kc
