I've had this happen on one box consistently and the other I ran the install on it cleans itself up fine. It looks like it's storing a ton of perf data in:

This keeps creeping up to like 2 gigs, I thought I walked through the steps again before manually to set permissions but kind of at a loss. I can try it again, just curious if you guys have seen this before. When it was originally set up it was done with the script documented and appeared to work fine.
Ever seen this before?

The buildup of files in the xidpe folder is usually caused by the perfdataproc cron not running.
Can you login as root to the Xi server, run the following and post the output?
Code: Select all
service crond status
ps -aef | grep perfdataproc
Could you post this file so we can review it?
Code: Select all
/usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.phpBe sure to check out our

Can you run the following commands and show the output in code wraps?
Code: Select all
grep ramdisk /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
ll -d /var/nagiosramdisk
ll /var/nagiosramdisk
ll /var/nagiosramdisk/spool
chage -l nagios
tail -50 /var/log/cron

Change this line in the confing.inc.php:
Code: Select all
$cfg['perfdata_spool'] = 'var/nagiosramdisk/spool/perfdata/';
to:
Code: Select all
$cfg['perfdata_spool'] = '/var/nagiosramdisk/spool/perfdata/';
and restart httpd.

Can you run the following and post the output?
Code: Select all
grep perfdata_spool_dir /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/npcd.cfg
ps -ef |grep npcd
ls /var/nagiosramdisk/spool/xidpe | wc -l
ls /var/nagiosramdisk/spool/perfdata/ | wc -l
ls /var/nagiosramdisk/spool/checkresults/ | wc -l
I just want to check a few more settings, etc...
Thanks
