Nagios Support Forum

The situation you describe would absolutely cause those issues. If possible, you should allow the nagios server to run continuously. This way you can detect outages or other issues which would occur off-shift for you (even if you don't handle them until coming in the next morning). If that's not po...

Okay, the directory permissions look fine. I haven't reproduced your issue so far - though we're on day 2 so far, and yours hadn't failed by then. When you say I restarted the Nagios process on a regular interval, using the command systemctl restart Nagios do you mean that you have a cron job that ...

Hi Philix , We haven't figured out what the issue is yet, but I've set up several test machines running 4.4.3 and 4.4.5 to see if we can reproduce. There are a couple of other things we can take a look at, though they probably won't lead to resolution. 1. I'm curious to see the permissions for the ...

So this seems to have stopped working on 8/26/2019, does this correspond to an upgrade to 4.4.5? what do you get with the following? grep ROT -4 /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log it is a fresh installation root@debian:~# grep ROT -4 /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log [1566712800] LOG ROTATION: DAILY [...

Code: Select all

grep log_rotation_method /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

I would expect

Code: Select all

log_rotation_method=d

log_rotation_method=d
root@debian:~#

That is weird, you don't have a nagios-08-29-2019-00.log file... Did someone change the log rotation settings in the nagios.cfg? Has Nagios been running as I don't see any newer than nagios-08-25-2019-00.log when i was not getting the desired results, i was playing with the nagios.cfg file and i am...

What are the permissions of the files in this directory? ls -al /usr/local/nagios/var/archives/ root@debian:~# ls -al /usr/local/nagios/var/archives/ total 16 drwxrwxr-x 2 nagios nagios 4096 Aug 24 23:59 . drwxr-xr-x 5 nagios nagios 4096 Sep 3 08:08 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios 2939 Aug 23 23:35 n...
