I have some custom written checks that do not send "SERVICEPERFDATA::$SERVICEPERFDATA$" to the spool directory even though process_perf_data is turned on. I imagine without this data this would be the reason the rrd files are not created for the checks. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to if this is the issue or not or what I can look for?

Now just to add all HOST checks work and a lot of other service checks create the rrd data... mainly my custom written checks are the ones not working.

I have went through all the performance data in the troubleshooting FAQ, which makes no difference. (on either version of XI).

Any help would be appreciated.

Upon a little more reading, I guess I need to be able to write the script to process the performance data that I want; How exactly do I do this?

The script in question returns a number of timeouts for a 5 minute period, I want that data to be graphed.

dohh.. I need to read more before posting. I found I just need to add a pipe to the end of my check and add a variable.... All worked out now.

Thanks,

Glad it's working for you! Let us know if you have any additional questions.
