I don't want to be a pest about this; I'm pulling teeth trying to get this to 
work.  Does anyone have a clue how to get this working?  I went out and bought 
the "Nagios, System and Network Monitoring" book by "Wolfgang Barth" last night 
for a reference.  Chapter 19 talks about Nagiosgraph.  After reading through 
the first few sections showing you how to set up Nagiosgraph, it looks almost 
identical to the INSTALL instructions that comes with the Nagsiosgraph package.

After looking at the graphs again this morning, it looks like some of the hosts 
(like PING) had data on the graphs for a short period of time last night and, 
then, nothing again.  What is going on?  What am I missing?  Why did it work 
for a short period of time and, then, not?

Hi Patrick,

Here are my answers.  I hope they give some insight as to the problem.  Thank 
you.

> Have you checked out the logs? Is there anything in them?

Here is a sample of my /var/log/nagiosgraph.log file.  I had the debugging 
level at (4).  I don't see any INSERT into information though:

Thu Mar 19 13:34:42 2009 insert.pl warn - perfdata not recognized:
date||host||desc||out||data for:
servicedescr: PING
output: PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.35 ms
perfdata:
Thu Mar 19 13:34:52 2009 insert.pl warn - perfdata not recognized:
date||host||desc||out||data for:
servicedescr: PING
output: PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 99.64 ms
perfdata:

When I run the insert.pl command manually I get this.

[root@ ~ sbin]# /usr/local/lib/nagios/insert.pl

The graph "template" displays on the page.  That's it though.  There is no data 
displaying.  According to the last modified date in "reach_media," the graph 
was last updated on the 12th, the day I installed the program.  Shouldn't the 
last modified date be now, since the graph continually is updated by insert.pl?

Have you checked out the logs? Is there anything in them?

Have you tried running the insert command manually to see what happens?

Is it creating RRD files where it's supposed to? Is there data in them?
