Just wanted to update the mailing list on how this was fixed. All howtos mention that you need to add a line:
process_performance_data=1 to nagios.cfg But what they fail to mention is that further down in the default nagios.cfg there is a line like this: process_performance_data=0 So if you add your new config lines close to the top of the file, they get happily overwritten by the defaults at the bottom. This mistake will bite you regardless if you install from repositories or compile from source. The rest is history.
