Tactical Overview, Ops Center, Ops Screen Problems

[jbennett]

I'm not exactly sure when this started, but it seems like the following screens aren't updating on my system:

Tactical Overview
Operations Center
Operations Screen

When I click directly on Tactical Overview, I get the "Whoops! Error: Could not read object configuration data!" screen. However, I have my home link set to go to the tactical over view screen and I can get to it that way successfully.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you recently added a ram disk?

Can you output

Code: Select all

cat /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg |grep object_cache_file

and then get permissions of the file is shows

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/var/objects.cache

also, is nagios running

Code: Select all

service nagios status

I went back through the document for implementing a ram disk as your post gave me somewhere to look. When I check fstab, I see the following:

Code: Select all

/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00_ROOT /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 /tmp                    ext3    defaults        1 2
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00_VAR /var                    ext3    defaults        1 2
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
tmpfs                   /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
tmpfs                   /var/nagiosramdisk      tmpfs   defaults,size=75m       0 0
devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
sysfs                   /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
proc                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01_SWAP swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
10.100.3.220:/kickstart /kickstart               nfs    defaults        1 2

Would having multiple temp file systems be getting in the way?

I did find that the commands were missing, per the document. I made that change and now I can actually get to the tactical overview screen, however, it's not the right one. It's almost like it's pointing to an old version of it. If I click on the home link and it takes me to the tactical overview screen I have set for it to go to, it is updated and correct.

[scottwilkerson]

can you run the following

Code: Select all

/var/nagiosramdisk/objects.cache

[jbennett]

What does it need to be set to?

Code: Select all

-bash: /var/nagiosramdisk/objects.cache: Permission denied

Code: Select all

-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios 6368693 Feb 26 19:25 objects.cache

How's the free space on that RAM disk?

Code: Select all

df -h

df -i

I came in this am to the following:

tmpfs                  75M   75M     0 100% /var/nagiosramdisk

I'm assuming I need to resize the ramdisk...

[mguthrie]

Yes, but also check why it was filled up. If you're also using it for the perfdata and checkresult spool, those files can fill up the RAM disk if either the Nagios daemon or NPCD daemon aren't running.
