Perfparse Droping all lines

[tfrc]

I have installed perfparse but it is droping all lines from service-perfdata.dat.
I can't seem to find a plugin which returns data in a format that perfparse understands.

Which plugins are compatible with perfparse?
Which should be data format ?

should the following line be correctly parsed by /srv/nagios2/bin/perfparse-log2mysql?

1163670978 pthp62.telecom.pt FPing 0.020 0.940 FPING OK - 127.0.0.1 (loss=0%, rta=0.310000 ms) loss=0%;20;60;0;100 rta=0.000310s;0.100000;0.500000;0.000000;0.000000

It is being droped...

Thank you for any help...

I find similar problems...PerfParse still doesn't work right for me, even though I have reinstalled several times and tried different solutions while testing my installation guides.
Since I am writing documentation for "Getting Started", if someone could post the correct configuration here, I will make sure it is recorded for all to refer to in future

Thanks!

Hmm, ok after a quick look at what you've written, I want to make an (un)educated guess. Wherever you defined the template for the service-perfdata.dat file (either in check commands or in the file_template option in nagios.cfg)...did you specify TABs between each variable?

Eg, template definition: $TIMET$\t$HOSTNAME$\t$SERVICEDESC$\t$OUTPUT$\t$SER VICESTATE$\t$PERFDATA$

Maybe you will get lucky and make it work, unlike me. hehe.

Cheers,
Dan.

Thank you for your effort... but I specified tabs (\t) in the template definition.
When I made the copy/paste they were somehow transformed in spaces.
In the original service-perfdata.dat fields are separated by tabs.
