help on RRD::File

[jj0914]

i found a perl script called check_rrd_data.pl, in this script it requires RRD::File, and i have no idea about RRD::File, there isn't many documents on-line about RRD::File. Is there any one can help me on this perl module.
many thanks!!

you may be able to tweak this to work ...

i have looked at the RRD::Query, it is different from RRD::File, RRD::File is a customzied perl module.

 

[PaulTEG]

Well if it's customised, it's gonna be hard to get it on CPAN :-s


What calls are made to RRD::File that can't be accomplished with RRD:Query ?

i have the code, you will understand better than i explain, i am bad at explaining.

#!/usr/bin/perl -wT

#check_rrd_data plugin for nagios
#
# usage:
# check_rrd machine_id perlexp_warn perlexp_crit perlexp_default [ds]
#
# Checks data from a RRD file. machine_id is normally an IP address, that has
# to be mapped to a RRD file, by means of the config file (by default
# /var/spool/nagios/rrd-files, a file with pairs of (machine_id,rrd_file),
# separated by whitespace). It can be a RRD file, too.
#
# The Perl expressions are expressions to be evaluated in the following cases:
#
# - perlexp_crit. The first one, to check if there is a critical situation. If
# it returns other than "", it will be a critical message.
# - perlexp_warn. The second one to be evaluated. If returns other than "", a
# warning will be issued to Nagios.
# - perlexp_default. If both of the above return "", it will be evaluated, and
# wathever returns this expression will be returned by the script. NOTE that
# this is different from the other two cases, to allow the user issue a
# warning or critical failure even if the other two don't return it.
#
# Use these hosts.cfg entries as examples
#
# command[check_ping]=$USER1$/check_rrd_data.pl $HOSTADDRESS$ \
# 'return "CHECK_CRICKET_PING: Warning\n" if ($value > 10);' 'return \
# "CHECK_CRICKET_PING: Critical\n" if ($value > 100);' 'printf \
# "PING OK - RTA = %.2fms\n", $value; return 0;' 1
