Performance Graph issue

[JohnFLi]

I recently added a new service check (checking the memory Tomcat7.exe is using) a few days ago and I was wanting to look at it's performance graph.
in the image below, it appears 2 out of 5 has any graphing data.

PerformanceGraph1.jpg

If I go to view either graph, this is what I see:

PerformanceGraph2.jpg

this is how I have the check setting for it set:

PerformanceGraph3.jpg

Any ideas how to get this to work correctly?

The performance data output from your check may not be correct or that there is not any output at all, XI cannot generate a graph.
Can you go the Service Details menu and select one of the services, go to the Advanced Tab, screen capture it and post it here?
Also, can you post how the command is setup in the Core Config Manager and post that here?
If you go to the CCM > Services menu, find the service and click on the Floppy icon, copy and paste the settings here so we can view them.

If you look at the Advanced Tab, you will see that the Performance Data field is empty, that is the reason the graphs are not getting generated.
You will have to add that to your powershell script and the following link describes the format output for Performance Data
https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html#AEN200

[JohnFLi]

ahhhh - man.....you're going to make me think again.

I will check it out and see what kind of results I get.
I will report back later

[tgriep]

OK, let us know the results.

[JohnFLi]

Ok, I'm getting performance data:

Code: Select all

Performance Data:	'Memory useage'=3286.48046;3900;4000;0;5000

But service attributes still shows a blank in the 'action' column
The graph page does display, but all number show zero

When I run the check command, it returns:

Code: Select all

[[email protected] ~]$ /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_nrpe -H G1VPENDMDEX01 -t 700 -c check_tomcat -a '3900 4000'
OK: Everything seems to be fine 3350.13671875|'Tomcat Memory'=3350.13671;3900;4000;0;5000

The output line of my powershell is:

Code: Select all

Write-Host "$output| 'Tomcat Memory'=$myTomCat;$warn;$crit;0;5000"

[tgriep]

The graph could be showing the incorrect info because when you were working on the plugin, the files could of been corrupted so if you delete the .xml and .rrd files for that service, they should get recreated and hopefully graph correctly.
The files can be found in this folder under the hostname of the system.

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/share/perfdata/<hostname>

Outstanding! Thant took care of it.
