Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

I am using nagios 3.5.1 on RedHat 6.5 (Santiago).
I am using the following NEBs:
mod_gearman.o
livestatus.o

It is a distributed environment. One of my colleague setup a downtime period for 2 hosts.
Since then, nagios has given SIGSEGV error every midnight.

I found this:
http://tracker.nagios.org/view.php?id=516
but I cannot open this link:
http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... 16&t=24172

Does anybody know any solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance,

klajosh

If you're using Nagios 3.5.1 with mk-livestatus you need this patch for Nagios:

Phil,
thank you for your quick answer.
Just a quick question:

the code on the url says: and I am using RedHat package 3.5.1. Is this link, ok?

Thanks,

klajosh

It still applies.

Thanks prandal, klajosh, if you continue to run into issues, please let us know again! However this does appear to be an issue with livestatus and log rotation more than anything else. The particular post you referenced, the end resolve was to downgrade mk-livestatus to 1.2.0p3, although the patch may not have been known or out at that time.

The issue was that at some point in the 3.x branch the internal nagios downtime structure changed.

Livestatus is compiled against the old format, hence the problem.

You may find that the problem recurs without patching and rebuilding nagios.

In our setup, the crash didn't always happen at every log rotation.

Ah nice to have some full clarification on that point, thanks again prandal. We rarely deal with livestatus as of late, so some of these slip by.
