Issues with Multiple Perfdata graphs for a single service
Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2015 12:30 am
I am having some issues with checks that return multiple lines of perfdata, and therefore have multiple graphs for a single service.
I have found that nagios does not pay attention to the label for the performance data, only the order which it is returned in - therefore if you change the order the graphs have the wrong data in them. This is not my issue though, I can work around that. What I have found is that when the number of lines of perfdata changes (only noticed when it reduces, not sure if it occurs when it increases), no more data gets logged for that service.(see attached images - perfdata was being generated at the time, just not graphed)
I have traced it through and I think that process_perfdata.pl is the issue. It does not seem to have a section for handling changing the number of data sources. Is this a bug or limitation in Nagios or rrd, or am I doing something wrong.
Unfortunately for some reason my perfdata.log has stopped working. Nagios appears to be configured for bulk mode (without NCPD) for loading the perfdata. The /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe directory is empty.
I am running Nagios 2012R2.7, but will be upgrading to the latest 2014 next week. I think this was installed by the VMImage.
Thanks in advance,
David
