I installed perfparse for Nagios. It wasn't totally trivial, mostly due to the fact that developers of open source/free software rarely test on commercial unix. Often they just don't get the chance, but it can mean that there are annoyances which could be avoided had they been able to.
Tomorrow there will be graphs, now that the perf data is piping to the database. Shame that the CSS isn't awfully pretty under Firefox. Background images not re-sizing properly etc., but I'm not that bothered by that. And tomorrow, I get to build the whole lot from bare, unpartitioned disks with no OS, upgrade the existing Nagios from 1.3 to 2.0 and make the pair redundant. Sheer bliss.
Again, I say I must update my documentation. It isn't great and it's a bit out of date. I need to extend it for Nagios 2.0 even though it's still in beta. Adding info on perfparse may not be a bad idea either.
