Issues with Performance Data Processing. When using perf_data to files the data is only written for service checks whose plugin is compiled. Service checks using python or shell based plugins DO NOT get perf_data written to file. Verified issue exists in Icinga and not Nagios 3.2.3. Issue is with Icinga only.

To reproduce this modify icinga.cfg as below and cat the /var/icinga/service-perfdata.fifo (create it & make writable first). You will see results for compiled plugins but not others.

process_performance_data=1

host_perfdata_file=/var/icinga/host-perfdata.fifo
service_perfdata_file=/var/icinga/service-perfdata.fifo

host_perfdata_file_template=$HOSTNAME$\t$HOSTSTATEID$\t$HOSTOUTPUT$|$HOSTPERFDATA$
service_perfdata_file_template=$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$SERVICESTATEID$\t$SERVICEOUTPUT$|$SERVICEPERFDATA$

host_perfdata_file_mode=p
service_perfdata_file_mode=p

System Info:
CentOS release 5.6 (Final)
2.6.18-238.9.1.el5
icinga-1.3.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64 - installed from rpmforge

Grr... Just compiled 1.4.0 and the issue appears to be no longer. Don't know how many hours I just wasted, FAIL. Who can tell Dag to update rpmforge to 1.4.0? You guys rule!

• Status changed from New to Closed

well sorry for that cause - it was just one of those things saving some performance by dropping macro calculation on check results which would never lead into performance data themselves.
as it had shown this is wrong and will affect distributed monitoring setups and several addons in a bad way - so this has been reverted with 1.4.0. due to a longer testing period and such there wasn't any fix for 1.3.x anymore (also not to confuse packagers, only by demand).

http://pkgs.repoforge.org/icinga/ - it seems to be already there. but rpmforge is doing a changed to repoforge as it seems, so dag might be very busy.
