growing host-perfdata

[robert.anderko]

Hi all,
please, can you help me with growing up file /var/nagiosramdisk/host-perfdata ? I have Nagios XI 5.2.3 and host-perf data still growing up and filling RAM disk to the full... I dont have idea where is problem...

This could be many different things. Could you please PM me your Nagios profile so that I can take a look at it and understand your system a bit better?

You can download it by navigating to Admin -> System Profile -> Download Profile.


EDIT: Profile received.

I looked at your profile and things do look fine. Your available memory is getting a bit low to be honest, but everything else looks OK.

How big is your ramdisk currently?

Honestly this should not grow, it should be processed and deleted.

You should follow this troubleshooting article:

Does it help identify the problem?

guys,
what is right configuration in /usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg? i have now, after little changing:

Code: Select all

define command {
       command_name                             process-host-perfdata-file-bulk
       command_line                             /bin/mv /var/nagiosramdisk/host-perfdata /var/nagiosramdisk/spool/xidpe/$TIMET$.perfdata.host
}

define command {
       command_name                             process-host-perfdata-file-pnp-bulk
       command_line                             /bin/mv /var/nagiosramdisk/host-perfdata /var/nagiosramdisk/spool/xidpe/host-perfdata.$TIMET$
}

define command {
       command_name                             process-host-perfdata-pnp-normal
       command_line                             /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl -d HOSTPERFDATA
}

define command {
       command_name                             process-service-perfdata-file-bulk
       command_line                             /bin/mv /var/nagiosramdisk/service-perfdata /var/nagiosramdisk/spool/xidpe/$TIMET$.perfdata.service
}

define command {
       command_name                             process-service-perfdata-file-pnp-bulk
       command_line                             /bin/mv /var/nagiosramdisk/service-perfdata /var/nagiosramdisk/spool/xidpe/service-perfdata.$TIMET$
}

and seems file /var/nagiosramdisk/host-perf-data is processed...

[Box293]

Your process-host-perfdata-file-bulk and process-service-perfdata-file-bulk commands are correct.

Make sure you edited these commands in CCM and not directly in your commands.cfg file as the next time you apply configuration they will get overwritten.

[robert.anderko]

yes, was edited from CCM, not from shell...

Excellent, let us know if the disk space keeps rising as that would indicate an issue still exists.
