Nagios takes days to retry a DOWN HOST

[tgriep]

I see that you are using the temp filesystem /dev/shm for storing some files, is it running out of space?
Can you run the following as root and post the output?

Code: Select all

df -h
df -i

For a test, can you edit the nagios.cfg file and change the following from

Code: Select all

enable_environment_macros=1

to

Code: Select all

enable_environment_macros=0

Save the file and restart nagios

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

Post if this helps or not.

Code: Select all

[jcorsini@vmwmon001 ~]$ df -h /dev/shm/

tmpfs                 8.0G  7.0M  8.0G   1% /dev/shm
[jcorsini@vmwmon001 ~]$ df -i /dev/shm/

I adapted the parameter enable_environment_macros, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to leave it like this for a long time (I have to double check my event handlers). Anyway, we'll see how it behaves.

Let us know what you come up with.

[Johan159]

For information, the change of the parameter enable_environment_macros solved the issue!

Thanks for letting us know @Johan159!

Can I mark this thread as resolved then?

[Johan159]

Yes, thanks a lot for your help everyone!
