Nagios Log Archive error

[harsha.s.aryan]

Hi,

Nagios Log is not getting archive

Please let me know how to resolve

there is no archives directory created under /usr/local/nagios/var/

Can you run the following commands and post the output here?

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/var/
ls -l /usr/local/nagios/var/archives

Can you post your nagios.cfg file so we can check the log rotation settings?

The archive folder is gone for sure.
Run this to create is and set the permissions.

Code: Select all

mkdir /usr/local/nagios/var/archives 
chown  nagios.nagios  /usr/local/nagios/var/archives 
chmod 775  /usr/local/nagios/var/archives 

Check these settings in the nagios.cfg file for the archive folder and to setup daily log rotation.

Code: Select all

log_archive_path=/usr/local/nagios/var/archives
log_rotation_method=d

If you have to change these settings, restart nagios by running

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

Still i am getting same error

[tgriep]

The archives get created at midnight so you will have to wait until tomorrow for the first archive file to be created.

[harsha.s.aryan]

is there any option to separate log file manually

[tgriep]

Do you mean that your nagios.log file has all of the data in it since the server was running?

[harsha.s.aryan]

yes

[tgriep]

I found this example that you can try out for splitting the file.
