Nagios parser does not support ranges in performance data #4087
Closed
Description
Bug report
The nagios parser does not support ranges in the performance data. Ranges are
used with the critical and warning fields, there is more detail in this documentation: https://nagios-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html#AEN200
Relevant telegraf.conf:
[[inputs.exec]]
commands = ["cat nagios"]
data_format = "nagios"$ cat nagios
OK: Load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.05 | 'load1'=0.00;0:4;0:6;0; 'load5'=0.01;0:3;0:5;0; 'load15'=0.05;0:2;0:4;0;
System info:
Telegraf 1.6.1
Steps to reproduce:
- telegraf --input-filter exec --test
Expected behavior:
The range data should be encoded in some form, there are a few options:
Use _lt, _gt, _le, _ge as less than, greater than, less than or equal,
and greater than or equal:
> nagios_state_centreonplugins state=0i 1525116499000000000
> 'load1'_centreonplugins min=0,value=0,warning_lt=0,warning_gt=4,critical_lt=0,critical_gt=6 1525116499000000000
> 'load5'_centreonplugins min=0,value=0.01,warning_lt=0,warning_gt=3,critical_lt=0,critical_gt=5 1525116499000000000
> 'load15'_centreonplugins min=0,value=0.05,warning_lt=0,warning_gt=2,critical_lt=0,critical_gt=4 1525116499000000000
Put the range unaltered as a tag, this could be acceptable if the value changes infrequently and does not need graphed.

Actual behavior:

> 'load1'_centreonplugins min=0,value=0 1525116499000000000
