DB Connect error

[Frédéric GRANAT]

Hi,
This morning I've got DB Connect error.

df -k gives :

When or where are you receiving this error, can you post an example? Until we have this information you can take a look at this thread as it is related:

Hi,
Error when trying to connect to Nagiosxi GUI.

Code: Select all

[root@nagiosxi ~]# service postgresql start
Starting postgresql service:                               [FAILED]

Try clearing some space by removing old log files, tmp files, etc.

[Frédéric GRANAT]

It seems that most of the space is occupied by /var/cache/logwatch
Is there a way to clean that directory.
Otherwise, please indicate which files/directories I could remove.

Frederic

[lmiltchev]

You can try:

Code: Select all

rm -rf /var/cache/logwatch/*

Then go to "/etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf" and set "TmpDir" to "/tmp", so that the catch files would be automatically trimmed. If /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf is blank, you may need to copy the default file from /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf to /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
so that the catch files would be automatically trimmed
=> What do you mean

Apart from that : I cleaned logwatch and now nagiosxi is reachable.

Thanks

so that the catch files would be automatically trimmed
=> What do you mean

Files in /tmp are routinely trimmed (removed), especially if the root file system is running low on space.

Hi,
Perfect, you can close the post.

Thank you very much.
