I have tried many options but it just does not seem to work. I have tried:<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> <![if !supportLists]>1) <![endif]>having nagios printf to a log file then externally have perfparse-log2mysql process, always complains about a file position marker but the docs do not discuss this<o:p></o:p> <![if !supportLists]>2) <![endif]>have nagios fire perfparse-log2mysql on a per-event basis without the intermediate log file, this seems to work with no error but NO DATA gets stuffed to perfparse database.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> The perfparse documentation is a bit weak, there is no comprehensive “do this” step by step. There is not even detailed documentation on all the various config file options that I can find. I am running nagios 2.5 on CentOS 4.3.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> Thanks!<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> /Chris<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> </div> </body> </html>
