NAME

Nagios::Plugin::Performance - Performance information in a perl object

SYNOPSIS

  use Nagios::Plugin::Performance;

  @p = Nagios::Plugin::Performance->parse_perfstring("/=382MB;15264;15269;; /var=218MB;9443;9448");
  print "1st label = ", $p[0]->label, $/;
  print "1st uom   = ", $p[0]->uom, $/;
  print "2nd crit  = ", $p[1]->threshold->critical, $/;

DESCRIPTION

Handles common Nagios Plugin performance data. This has a public interface because it could be used by performance graphing routines, such as nagiostat (http://nagiostat.sourceforge.net), perfparse (http://perfparse.sourceforge.net), nagiosgraph (http://nagiosgraph.sourceforge.net) or NagiosGrapher (http://www.nagiosexchange.org/NagiosGrapher.84.0.html).

Once the performance string has been parsed, you can query the label, value, uom, or thresholds.

CLASS METHODS

Nagios::Plugin::Performance->parse_perfstring($string)

Returns an array of Nagios::Plugin::Performance objects based on the string entered. If there is an error parsing the string, undef is returned.

OBJECT METHODS

label, value, uom, min, max

These all return scalars. min and max are not well supported yet.

threshold

This returns a Nagios::Plugin::Threshold object.
