Bandwidth not reporting since drives filled up

[tcanthonyii]

12/27/2016 our disk space on the XI server filled up. We called in with support to get it up and running quickly. However we noticed today that since that morning we get no bandwidth reporting on switch ports since that day. What do we need to do to get this working again? We are running 5.2.7

Thanks

T.C.

First thing to try is to restart the crond daemon which runs the bandwidth gathering application.
Login as root, run the following to do that.

Code: Select all

service crond restart

Wait for 15 minutes to see if they start to populate, if not can you run the following command as root and post the /tmp/mrtg.txt file?

Code: Select all

LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg -debug=cfg,base &> /tmp/mrtg.txt

Here you go! Still not working.

Code: Select all

[root@NagiosXIMon ~]# LANG=C LC_ALL=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg -debug=cfg,base &> /tmp/mrtg.txt

OK so based on the error I saw in the command you had me run I found this article

I ran through the steps and it appears as though I'm now getting bandwidth. I'm going to monitor today to make sure all of them are working but I think they are.

[mcapra]

Awesome! Let us know if you need additional assistance with this.

[tcanthonyii]

Everything is now reporting correctly.

Thanks for the help! Wouldn't have gotten it fixed without you.

[dwhitfield]

It sounds like this issue has been resolved. Is it okay if we lock this thread? Thanks for choosing the Nagios forums!

[tcanthonyii]

yes please.
