   Package: monitoring-plugins-contrib   
   Version: 48.20250420   
   Severity: normal   
      
   If I invoke /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nfsmounts it reports   
   performance data like this:   
      
      
   # /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nfsmounts   
   NFS OK: 1 mount points avg of 0.00210 secs, max 0.00232   
   secs.|maxtime=0.0023170;avgtime=0.0021039;mountpoints=1   
      
   As one can see the performance data is separated by semicolon ;, which   
   is according to the Nagios plugin Guidelines   
    wrong:   
      
    > Performance Data   
    > [...]   
    > 1. Space separated list of label/value pairs   
      
   So the data should be returned like this:   
   NFS OK: 1 mount points avg of 0.00182 secs, max 0.00182   
   secs.|maxtime=0.0018191 avgtime=0.0018191 mountpoints=1   
      
   In our case the wrong format had two (negative) consequences:   
   1. in Icinga no performance graphs were created   
   2. Icinga created a directory /var/lib/graphite/whisper/_tagged and   
   filled it with 200+GB of data (in 1.5 years for only 4 machines we used   
   the check with)   
      
   A patch seems trivial: replace the ; with "space", which we did:   
   $ diff ~/check_nfsmounts.wrong ~/check_nfsmounts   
   166c166   
   < my   
   $perfdata=sprintf("maxtime=%9.7f;avgtime=%9.7f;mountpoints=$x",$   
   axage,$avgage);   
   ---   
    > my $perfdata=sprintf("maxtime=%9.7f avgtime=%9.7f   
   mountpoints=$x",$maxage,$avgage);   
      
   After that, both problems were solved.   
      
   Hope that you can apply this fix, best regards, Alex
