Processed 1 files (0 metrics) in /var/spool/nagios/graphios

[mikimtm]

This in the headline is mesage i get periodically, I have set up all correctly with setup.py and nagios is working fine.

Here is what I have in spool dir
ls -la /var/spool/nagios/graphios/
total 0
drwxrwxrwx. 2 apache nagios 51 Mar 11 21:57 .
drwxr-xr-x. 5 nagios nagios 113 Mar 11 21:58 ..
-rw-r--r--. 1 nagios nagios 0 Mar 11 21:57 host-perfdata
-rw-r--r--. 1 nagios nagios 0 Mar 11 21:57 service-perfdata

I tried changing ownership to dir to nagios and to apache, giving 777 rights, but that seems not to be the problem. Problem is that host-perfdata and service-perfdata have no metrics inside.

tail -f /var/spool/nagios/graphios/service-perfdata
DATATYPE::SERVICEPERFDATA TIMET::1489270283 HOSTNAME::localhostSERVICEDESC::Root Partition SERVICEPERFDATA::/=1225MB;9566;10762;0;11958 SERVICECHECKCOMMAND::check_local_disk!20%!10%!/ HOSTSTATE::UP HOSTSTATETYPE::HARD SERVICESTATE::OK SERVICESTATETYPE::HARD GRAPHITEPREFIX::$_SERVICEGRAPHITEPREFIX$ GRAPHITEPOSTFIX::$_SERVICEGRAPHITEPOSTFIX$ METRICTYPE::$_SERVICEMETRICTYPE$

tail -f /var/spool/nagios/graphios/host-perfdata

^C

host-perfdata is empty and service-perfdata is not but no metrics.

What to do from here?

I have same problem. Here is my spool dir:

[root@centos6-8 graphios]# ls -la /var/spool/nagios/graphios
total 16
drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 12288 sep 13 12:14 .
drwxrwxrwx 4 root root 4096 sep 6 17:03 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios 0 sep 13 12:14 host-perfdata.1505297666

-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios 0 sep 13 12:14 host-perfdata.1505297696
And here is how a perfdata file looks like:

tail -f /var/spool/nagios/graphios/host-perfdata.1505297*

/var/spool/nagios/graphios/host-perfdata.1505297936 <==

I also have this dir with perfdata:
ls -la /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/nagfluxperfdata/
that looks like:

[root@centos6-8 graphios]# ls -la /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/nagfluxperfdata/
total 16
drwxrwxrwx. 2 nagios nagios 4096 sep 13 12:22 .
drwxrwxrwx. 4 root root 4096 sep 5 13:45 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios 5222 sep 13 12:21 service-perfdata.out

And this is the output on if i setup as spool directory any of those:
./graphios.py --config=graphios.cfg --verbose

Please help, I spent like a week installing and reinstalling all (nagios, influxdb and grafana) configuring all, trying other libraries like nagflux or fluxios and not succeded with any. Thank you all for reading!

[mikimtm]

My problem was fixed when i set up the graphite prefix for every metric I needed. I no longer have access to the setup, can't share configs.

[Colkard]

Thank you so much!
