Pnp4nagios and perfdata
Posted: Wed Sep 11, 2024 10:23 am
Hi all, would really appreciate some thoughts on this issue.
So i have nagios core running fine, I install pnp4nagios, and the moment i start it, two services start delivering perfdata.
I would like all services to deliver perfdata, but I am unsure is to how or why only these 2 started working as the service npcd starts.
I thought I may need to add attributes to each command in commands.cfg, like -f, --perfparse or whatever the manual suggests for each service.
It doesnt seem to have worked.
How can I check if the services are doing their part, and will rrdtool or pnp4nagios give some indication like "yes we see this service trying to output perfdata but computer says no beacuse xxxxx"
Deep breath and thank you for reading
