Hi,
We have Nagios core 3.0 running in one of the local zones of solaris 10 machine ( on sparc).
I noticed that as soon as I start the Nagios process by following command :
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
I see that it has spawned many processes:
( which I verify by following command : ps -elf | grep /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios )
F S UID PID PPID C PRI NI ADDR SZ WCHAN STIME TTY TIME CMD
0 S radmin 1994 16078 0 40 20 ? 1039 ? 14:54:11 ? 0:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /us
0 S radmin 4575 16078 0 40 20 ? 1039 ? 14:57:11 ? 0:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /us

0 S radmin 11021 16078 0 40 20 ? 1039 ? 15:05:03 ? 0:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /us
PS : 16078 is process id of zsched( so it is fine ).
and these lines keep moving up and down ( but increasing ).
I checked on some other similar Nagios installation but found single instance of nagios running there.
Has anybody got the idea why I am having multiple instances of nagios.
I checked the log and there is no error or reference of multiple instances.
System is running fine but , I am still not able to solve this mystry ? Is it some kind of bug ?
Best Regards,
Anurag Vidyarthi

Re: Multiple instances f same nagios processes
Should just be:/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
Also, the nagios process forks itself to run checks and subprocesses, so as long as you don't have multiple parent processes, you should be fine./usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Re: Multiple instances f same nagios processes
Hi,
that was typing mistake, it has only one '-d' :
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
I got your point that it forks other subprocesses. But why my other nagios setups do not show such behaviour.
Is their any setting which activate such behaviour ?
PS ! Everything is fine with nagios monitoring but the number of sub-processes are just going up and up.

Now we have total 71 processes.

Re: Multiple instances f same nagios processes
I'm noticing you have the owner radmin for all of these processes. The nagios user should probably be the only owner of the nagios process. If either the radmin or nagios users don't have file permission to control the lock file, a new instance will probably just get spawned each time a restart command is issued to nagios. I'm guessing the answer is in the process ownership.

Re: Multiple instances f same nagios processes
Thanks for reply !
Nagios is installed in radmin account i.e everything is done/managed by radmin.
We do not have other user who is owning any nagios process.

Re: Multiple instances f same nagios processes
Ok, if you're using the /etc/init.d/nagios script to start and stop nagios (or service nagios restart), you may want to review the init script and make sure that user has permissions to control the lock file. If for some reason a user could restart the nagios process, but didn't have permission to read or create a lock file, that could cause multiple instances.

Re: Multiple instances f same nagios processes
We use SMF to manage the nagios start/stop and that menifest has following entry to start and stop
/reuters/etc/smf_nagios start
/reuters/etc/smf_nagios stop
I checked that radmin has owner of this file and directory. file /reuters/etc/smf_nagios actually calls the following command :
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
radmin has all permissions on :
/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
Still I checked /etc/init.d/nagios and found that radmin does not have any permission on it and only root who has all permissions on it.
