Re: CPU Load Spike daily

Were you able to find anything interesting in the VM hardware? Nope! It didn't have tools installed, so I corrected that issue, but I am still having hideous load spikes. Either stopping Nagios or mysqld(random which does it) brings it back down, then it operates fine again for a while. I'm still r...

Re: CPU Load Spike daily

Your symptoms do seem to line up well with what we are seeing elsewhere. Thanks. Please let me know how I can help by submitting logs or configuration information. While troubleshooting another issue (turned out to be related to colons in service names) I de-provisioned my RAMDisk and noticed the l...

Re: CPU Load Spike daily

Hello everyone, I've read through this post but I want to be sure what I'm seeing on my system is the same issue we're discussing in this thread... Please see the attachment which shows the load average of the Nagios server over about 24hrs. I did nothing differently but did notice the change in loa...

Re: Distributed Nagios Architecture

Wondering if you need to restart nagios as well. Just for grins on the main server restart gearmand and restart nagios and see if either of those resolves your issue. I can tell you without a doubt that I use it the way you show and it works great! EDIT: Stupid question time: You do have hosts belo...

Re: Distributed Nagios Architecture

mod_gearman_worker.conf file on one of the remote workers: hosts=no services=no hostgroups=comma seperated list of hostgroups for this worker Make sure those settings are set and then restart the mod_gearman_worker service on that worker. Any host(and all services on that host) in the hostgroup spe...

Re: Distributed Nagios Architecture

So I have everything working, sort of. When looking at the hostgroups and servicegroups option in mod_gearman_worker.conf you can specify which hostgroups and which servicegroups should be executed by which workers. In our environment we have servers dispersed around the world so it makes more sens...

Re: Distributed Nagios Architecture

So I'm looking at their documentation and as I understand it, you only need one Nagios server and then a bunch of Gearman Job Servers, one in each location to actually execute the checks, right? What have you seen are the drawbacks? Right now this looks like a good direction to pursue. The compatab...

Re: Distributed Nagios Architecture

XI servers can send and receive checks to/from other XI servers. Using the mechanisms outlined below, you can essentially use local nagios servers for regional offices and then have all them push their checkresults to a central server (or multiple central servers). Inbound Outbound This is perfect!...

Hi Scott,

Can you clarify this at all? Maybe a doc link or a screenshot?

Thanks for your prompt response.
