[edit] Overview

This HOWTO will describe how to install PerfParse on CentOS (originally found on IT Duties).

[edit] Grabbing the file

1. Required Packages.

  • mysql-dev
  • zlib-dev
  • freetype2-dev
  • fontconfig-dev
  • xlib-dev
  • glib-dev
  • gd-dev 
yum -y install glib-devel zlib-devel mysql-devel fontconfig-devel python-xlib freetype-devel gd-devel gd gd-progs glib2-devel gcc gcc-c++ libjpeg-devel libpng-devel

2. Download and untar latest stable release of PerfParse http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=109355 (e.g.)

3. cd in the perfParse Directory.

  • cd perfparse-0.106.1

4. Now compile with the following flag: 

./configure --prefix=/etc/nagios/perfparse --with-imagedir=/usr/share/nagios/images --with-cgidir=/usr/lib/nagios/cgi --with-http_image_path=/usr/share/nagios/images  --with-glib12=/usr/lib/glib
  • make & make install (if not work, then "yum install gcc gcc-c++")
  • make install clean (optional)

6.Now lets start configuring PerfParse to work with nagios 

cp /etc/nagios/perfparse/etc/perfparse.cfg-sample /etc/nagios/perfparse/etc/perfparse.cfg
cp /etc/nagios/perfparse/bin/perfparse.sh-example /etc/nagios/perfparse/bin/perfparse.sh
mysql_create.sql | mysql -u perfparse -p -D perfparse

7. Edit /etc/nagios.cfg and make it look like this: 

process_performance_data=1
host_perfdata_command=process-host-perfdata
service_perfdata_command=process-service-perfdata

8. Include PerfData into your resources: 

 
echo "$USER2$=/etc/nagios/perfparse" >> /etc/nagios/Resource.cfg

9. Define the perfData command 

echo " 
define command{
command_name process-service-perfdata
command_line /etc/nagios/perfparse/bin/perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl /var/log/nagios/perfdata-service.log "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" "$SERVICEOUTPUT$" "$SERVICESTATE$" "$SERVICEPERFDATA$"
}

define command{
command_name process-host-perfdata
command_line /etc/nagios/perfparse/bin/perfparse_nagios_pipe_command.pl /var/log/nagios/perfdata-host.log "$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$HOSTOUTPUT$" "$HOSTPERFDATA$"
}" >> /etc/nagios/Misccommands.cfg

10. Edit your perfParse.cfg to make it look like below. 

Server_Port = "3306"
Service_Log = " | /var/log/nagios/perfdata-service.log"
Service_Log_Position_Mark_Path = "/var/log/nagios/"
Error_Log = "/var/log/nagios/perfparse.log"
Error_Log_Rotate = "Yes"
Error_Log_Keep_N_Days = "7"
Drop_File = "/var/log/nagios/perfparse.drop"
Drop_File_Rotate = "Yes"
Drop_File_Keep_N_Days = "7"
Lock_File = "/var/lock/perfparse.lock"
Show_Status_Bar = "Yes"
Do_Report = "No"
Default_user_permissions_Policy = "rw"
Default_user_permissions_Host_groups = "rw"
Default_user_permissions_Summary = "rw"
Output_Log_File = "Yes"
Output_Log_Filename = "/var/log/nagios/perfparse_output_log"
Output_Log_Rotate = "Yes"
Output_Log_Keep_N_Days = "7"
Use_Storage_Socket_Output = "No"
Storage_Socket_Output_Host_Name = "localhost"
Storage_Socket_Output_Port = "3306"
Use_Storage_Mysql = "Yes"
No_Raw_Data = "No"
No_Bin_Data = "No"
DB_User = "perfparse"
DB_Pass = "perfparse"
DB_Name = "perfparse"
DB_Host = "localhost"
Dummy_Hostname = "dummy"
Storage_Modules_Load = "mysql"
