Reason:marking with green check mark
I've got quite many perfdata files piled up in the "/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata" directory.
[nagios@nagiosprodxi3 nagios]$ ls /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata | wc -l 2693
It is possible that npcd will "catch up", and process these files now that is running. Watch the above command for a while to see if this number (2693) is decreasing.
cd /usr/local/nagios/var/spool
rm -rf perfdata
mkdir perfdata
chown nagios.nagios perfdata
chmod 755 perfdata
service npcd restart
Note: You will lose only a chunk of the historical data (whatever was if the files you deleted) but not all of it.
I would also recommend increasing the timeout in the "/usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/process_perfdata.cfg" to 20. See our KB article on the issue. https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=9

Glad to hear it is resolved. I am going to lock the thread. Please feel free to post again if you have you another issue. Thank you for using the Nagios forums!
