Overview

This page provides a troubleshooting checklist for performance graphs.

Steps

1. Are the following configuration parameters properly configured in the nagios.cfg file?

   perfdata_timeout = "60"
   process_performance_data = "1"
   service_perdata_command = "process_service_perfdata_file"
   service_perfdata_file = "/usr/local/groundwork/nagios/eventhandlers/service_perfdata.log"
   service_perfdata_file_template = "$LASTSERVICECHECK$\t$HOSTNAME$\tSERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$\t$SERVICEPERFDATA$"
   service_perfdata_file_mode = w
   service_perfdata_file_processing_interval = 300
   service_perfdata_file_processing_command = "process_service_perfdata_file"

2. Is the file service_perfdata.log in the /usr/local/groundwork/nagios/eventhandlers directory? And does it have a current date and time stamp, within the past 10 minutes?
3. Is the file process_service_perf_db_file.pl in the /usr/local/groundwork/nagios/eventhandlers directory? And does it have the correct ownership and permissions?
4. Do the RRD files in the /usr/local/groundwork/rrd directory have fairly current data and time stamps?
5. Is there an entry in Configuration > Performance application where the service field matches the name of the service you are trying to graph?
