Performance data unit changes

[frank.enser]

Hi,

we're checking several Windows boxes. But when we monitor used physical memory, the perfdata unit change depending on size (e.g. megabyte if < 1gb or gigabyte if > 1gb) which renders RRD graphs useless.

Would be very useful to have an option to set the unit statically.

Thanks,
Frank

HUmm, this is (if you ask me) a bug in whatever application you use to process the performance data.

But I will consider it when I rewrite the performance subsystem in an upcoming MAJOR release (i.e. probably not soon unless it is important).

I just discussed a similar issue regarding the output of CheckDiskSize? on the pnp4nagios email list ​http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=27111017. It seems PNP4Nagios only stores the number from the performance data in the .rrd without reference to the UOM and is unlikely ever to be coded to do so. If it is possible to add an option in nscp to permit the user to set the UOM specifically when calling CheckDiskSize? (and any other checks which currently vary the UOM), that would be of great help.

Thanks,

In next RC this has been fixed
