Hi

A host is usually defined by

define host {
  use sometemplate
  hostname somehostname
  address www.xxx.yyy.zzz.
  ...
}

where the template is defined as

Code: Select all

define host {
  name sometemplate
  ...
  check_command check-host-alive
  ...
}

and the command is like:

Code: Select all

define command {
  name check-host-alive
  command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 3000.0,80% -c 5000.0,90%
}

but nowhere is it defined NOT to process the data, i.e. there is no "process_perf_data=0" in either the template file nor in the command files.

How come the plotting of the pings never takes place?
If I want pings to be plotted WITHOUT the extra overhead to run another ping how can I get the ping times to be plotted?

thanks
Jobst

Because

Code: Select all

[root@nagios ~]# grep "process_performance_data" /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
process_performance_data=0

Defaults to not processing it.
