Performance Metrics from passive nrds checks

[ss6396]

We've been evaluating Nagios XI 2014R1.0RC and have been unable to get it to display performance graphs from passive nrds checks. I did not see that as an item fixed in the release notes for 1.0 so not sure if it is a bug or not. Below is from the Advanced Status Details tab for one of the passive checks. Note that Performance Data is being received and Performance Data is enabled. Is this a bug in the beta version or is there something else that needs to be done to turn on metric data collection?

We are currently tracking this issue and working towards a resolution, for now, you can add a couple 'sed' additions to your perfdata commands as per my post here:

Sure:

Currently, until we find a better way, you will also need to update your performance data commands in the CCM in order to get perf data pushed from the workers up to XI and displayed properly.

You will need to change-

process-host-perfdata-file-bulk and process-service-perfdata-file-bulk's command's to:

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/\\n//g' /usr/local/nagios/var/host-perfdata && /bin/mv /usr/local/nagios/var/host-perfdata /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe/$TIMET$.perfdata.host

And:

Code: Select all

sed -i 's/\\n//g' /usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata && /bin/mv /usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe/$TIMET$.perfdata.service

And apply configuration.

This is actually being tracked down as a possible issue with how Nagios Core 4 is handling check result reaping and processing, if/once the issue is pinned down it will be released with an update to Nagios XI.
