Hi List,

just an other way to do a bulk update.
Let nagios write to a File in append Mode.

nagios.cfg:
service_perfdata_file=3D/usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata
service_perfdata_file_mode=3Da

Nagios will write a line as defined in "service_perfdata_file_template"

Next let nagios rotate the file every 20 seconds by starting the command de=
fined in service_perfdata_file_processing_command.

nagios.cfg:
service_perfdata_file_processing_interval=3D20
service_perfdata_file_processing_command=3Dprocess-service-perfdata-file

The command process-service-perfdata-file is a simple move to a spool direc=
tory.

define command{
command_name process-service-perfdata-file
command_line /bin/mv /usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata /us=
r/local/nagios/var/spool/service-perfdata.$TIMET$
}

Nagios will close the Filehandle and move the file to /usr/local/nagios/var=
/spool

Now a little Perl Daemon ( or perhaps incrond ) watches /usr/local/nagios/v=
ar/spool and processes the data in one block.
Also put /usr/local/nagios/var/spool on a ramdisk to minimize Disk IO.

So without a FIFO there is no blocking situation and no data loss.

What do you think abut that ?=20
