Snapshot Creation

[rpatricio]

Hi All,

My NAgios is creating snapshot by himself, without any apply being given and no human interaction. Somebody knows how this can happen?

[scottwilkerson]

What version of Nagios XI are you running?

[scottwilkerson]

Prior to 5.5.3 there was an automated process that would make a checkpoint at the interval specified in the config.inc.php

Code: Select all

"nom_checkpoint_interval" => 1440, // time (in minutes) between nom checkpoints

Hi Scott,

I found this line. It´s ok if I remove it, or can cause any trouble on my nagios config?

XI still uses that line, please leave it in there.

You can increase it if you want to limit it but you should leave it in there so that you have checkpoints created with the latest good information.

I looked at the /usr/local/nagiosxi/cron/nom.php file which is run from /etc/cron.d/nagiosxi, you can see it still being used in the latest XI:

Code: Select all

        $cpinterval = $cfg['component_info']['nagioscore']['nom_checkpoint_interval'];
        $docp = false;

        $lastcp = get_meta(METATYPE_NONE, 0, "last_nom_nagioscore_checkpoint");
        if ($lastcp == null) {
            $docp = true;
        } else {
            if ($now > ($lastcp + (intval($cpinterval) * 60))) {
                $docp = true;
            }
        }

        if (intval($cpinterval) == 0) {
            $docp = false;
        }

        if ($docp) {
            // Config was good, so create a checkpoint
            $cmdline = $script_dir."/nom_create_nagioscore_checkpoint_cond.sh";
