<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">we are using Nagios 2.5 and are currently in the process of trying to import all nagios log files into a central data warehouse in order to do some nice sla reporting. Now, i was wondering why three separators, 1. 'white space' (after time stamp), 2.':' (after service alert / host alert), 3. ';' (remaining columns) are being used?</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Example:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">[1163525428] SERVICE ALERT: EMMZS73906;DHCP172.18.0.0;OK;SOFT;2;OK - 48 freie IPs in Scope 172.18.0.0</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Is there a way to have all "columns" separated by the same character?</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I couldn't find an appropriate option in nagios.cfg, nor a corresponding hint in the archives.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Any help greatly appreciated.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Kind regards,</FONT>
