I'm using nrpe from the XI VM demo to monitor a few services on a test Solaris host, including diskspace, load, #users, and #processes. I didn't do anything special for these service checks but, as you predicted, Performance Graphs are available.

One service check, check_procs, however, says "No performance graphs were found for this service". The nrpe check is returning strings like: "PROCS OK: 105 processes", and the check seems to be running. The settings seem to be the same as the other service checks. Any advice on where I can look to see why this service check isn't generating graphs?

And a bonus question: Is there a way to generate a report of performance data? Under "Reports", the 6 available choices all seem focused on availability, notifications, and alerts.

Thanks...Lyle

Take a look at the Service Details->Advanced(tab) and see if the plugin is returning performance data. If PNP (the grapher) doesn't receive performance data, or "valid" performance data then it won't generate a graph. You can access the raw PNP interface for that service by using the following URL. If that page doesn't have the graphs you need, then they're not being generated at all.
