Hi, if you have a file in /tmp called I-WAS-HERE it works as designed, but a little bit more efficent is perhaps something like this: define command{ command_name process-host-perfdata command_line /usr/bin/printf "$HOSTNAME$\t$HOSTSTATE$\t$HOSTATTEMPT$\t$STATETYPE$\t$EXECUTIONTIME$\t$PERFDATA$\n" >> /tmp/host-perfdata } define command{ command_name process-service-perfdata command_line /usr/bin/printf "$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICESTATE$\t$SERVICEATTEMPT$\t$STATETYPE$\t-E-$EXECUTIONTIME$\t-L-$LATENCY$\t$PERFDATA $\n" >> /tmp/service-perfdata } I added some -E- and -L- in the printf's to see which is the execution and the latency time, do whatever you want to... regards Hendrik <table width=100%> <tr valign=top> <td width=40%>Gebhardt Thomas <gebhardt@hrz.uni-marburg.de> Sent by: nagios-users-admin@lists.sourceforge.net 01.07.2004 11:42 <td width=59%> <table width=100%> <tr> <td> <div align=right>To</div> <td valign=top>nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net <tr> <td> <div align=right>cc</div> <td valign=top> <tr> <td> <div align=right>Subject</div> <td valign=top>[Nagios-users] Can't get process_performance_data working</table> <table> <tr valign=top> <td> <td></table> </table> <tt>Hi, I've a problem getting process_performance_data working. Nagios seems not to start the host_perfdata_command/service_perfdata_command script. I'm using nagios 1.2 from debian (also tried with a self compiled version with --with-default-perfdata explicitely configured: still does not work.) My config: process_performance_data=1 host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata in nagios.cfg process_perf_data 1 ; Process performance data in the services.cfg template and # 'process-service-perfdata' command definition define command{ command_name process-service-perfdata command_line /bin/touch /tmp/I_WAS_HERE } in misccommand.cfg Obviuosly I missed something. Any hints? Thanks, Thomas ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
