nagios 3.3.1 does not process empty perfdata macros anymore which causes those results not to be put onto the perfdata channel. so all your plugins not returning perfdata won't even be put over there where nagiosgraph and other addons might calculate their perfdata from the output themselves. > > Is this a bug? i consider it a bug as it breaks compatibility. previous discussions on nagios-* mailinglists can be found in the archive. dunno when this will get fixed. http://www.mail-archive.com/nagios-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg36537.html http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.network.nagios.devel/8128 i'd suggest downgrading onto 3.2.3 and wait for a properly tested 3.3.x release. kind regards, Michael -- DI (FH) Michael Friedrich Vienna University Computer Center Universitaetsstrasse 7 A-1010 Vienna, Austria email: michael.friedr...@univie.ac.at phone: +43 1 4277 14359 mobile: +43 664 60277 14359 fax: +43 1 4277 14338 web: http://www.univie.ac.at/zid http://www.aco.net Icinga Core& IDOUtils Developer http://www.icinga.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Special Offer -- Download ArcSight Logger for FREE!
