Ack | Downtime | Force Not WORKING

Post by LuisN »

Hey Guys!

i am lit. going bald b/c of his

i have 2 serves. 1 master 1 backup. and 1 mysql server.

the master all of a sudden can NOT ack, downtimes dont go off so im getting tons of alerts. I switched over to the backup server and all of a sudden it works there. nothing has really changed but what can i look for? i replicate often to the backup.

also i noticed now when i was on the backup that all my graphs before i switched were not moved over, i thought this lived on the mysql server?? what do the graph files live. and how can i merge the 2?
thanks!

doing some research, how does a server send out a nagios.cmd file to a remote nagios server?

Lets check the cmd pipe and group:

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/var/rw
cat /etc/group | grep nag
Is selinux enabled?

Code: Select all

sestatus

The graphs are stored in RRDs. By default they are located in the following directory:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/perfdata/
If they are not in that directory, run a find:

Code: Select all

find / -name *.rrd

? I am not sure I understand, could you rephrase? Do you want to send commands to a remote nagios server's cmd pipe?
