host-perfdata and service-perfdata missing after install

[kevshorty]

I have two RHEL 5.7 VMs stood up. 1 splunk VM (already in play) and 1 nagios VM (newly created). My customer is requesting integration with splunk and nagios. Splunk has a nagios app which I download and have already added to my Splunk VM.

I am following the instructions listed on the splunk website (please reference):
http://splunk-base.splunk.com/apps/2237 ... for-nagios

Main problem:
After doing the nagios install everything seems to work (i.e. web interface working); however, the instructions on the splunk page specify that I should index the following nagios files

/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
/usr/local/nagios/var/host-perfdata
/usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata

Only the nagios.log file exist. I cannot find the host-perfdata or service-perfdata file. I even did a find on the whole /usr/local/nagios directory and still did not find files. I have followed the instructions on the nagios website carefully and have installed three times but still cannot find these files. The only step I am omitting is the email configuration step (which I cannot do because I am in a secure lab).

Do I need to just create these files? If so, I am not sure what actually goes in them? Do you have example host-perfdata and service-perfdata. I have done multiple searches online it seems no one has had this problem. Have you seen this problem before?

Can you post your /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

I actually in a secure environment so I am not able to post the /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg file. But, is there something in particular you would like me to search for in the nagios.cfg?

These files are part of the PNP addon for Nagios, did you go through that installation process?
