This is the output I get in nagios.log: [1181921420] Warning: Service performance data command 'echo 'server01\tMemuse\tMemory usage: total:4485.60 Mb - used: 1452.13 Mb (32%) - free: 3033.47 Mb (68%)\tMemory usage=1452.13Mb;3588.48;4037.04;0.00;4485.60\n' | nc6 -u -w 3 localhost 5667' for service 'Memuse' on host 'server01' timed out after 5 seconds And this is what ngraph./log shows: 2007-06-15 11:35:14 PIPE: server01 Memuse Memory usage: total:4485.60 Mb - used: 1502.13 Mb (33%) - free: 2983.46 Mb (67%) Memory usage=1502.13Mb;3588.48;4037.04;0.00;4485.60 2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: 4 blocks for 'Memuse' found. 2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: graph_value=Memory usage 2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: output=perfdata 2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: regex=m/Memory usage=([0-9]+)Mb/i 2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: perfdata=Memory usage=1502.13Mb;3588.48;4037.04;0.00;4485.60 2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: NO MATCH. 2007-06-15 11:35:14 VALUES: [server01][Memuse]:No matching perfdata values found...
