I'll tar up another set of logs in a few.

I have looked over everything you sent but there is nothing in there that can make me conclusively say why the processes aren't getting killed off like they should be.

What I can say for 100% fact is that there should not be 2 parent processes, and it can adversely affect the system so I am going to recommend making the following change to make sure it doesn't continue


Edit /etc/init.d/nagios on the server and liik for this line

Code: Select all

echo 'Warning - nagios did not exit in a timely manner'

Just below that like I would like you to add the following:

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/killall -9 nagios

Then restart nagios

Code: Select all

service nagios restart

[emartine]

I just implemented that. I made a change, hit appy and noticed that checks were not happening. I logged onto the server only to find that nagios was not running.

if status_nagios > /dev/null; then
echo ''
echo 'Warning - nagios did not exit in a timely manner'
/usr/bin/killall -9 nagios
else
echo ' done.'
fi

[emartine]

Shortly after removing that line in the stanza I started nagios manually on the command line. I then went into the web interface, made a test service inactive, applied the configuration and now I see this.

ps -ef | grep nagios.cfg
nagios 29128 1 0 11:34 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios 29279 29128 0 11:34 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios 29551 1 0 11:35 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios 29814 29551 0 11:36 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

[scottwilkerson]

Something is really strange in the setup that is adds multiple parent processes every time you apply configuration

Can you PM me if you are available between 9am -2pm CDT tomorrow to schedule a time I may take a look at the system.

Thanks.

[emartine]

Will do. I'll PM you around 10AM.

[scottwilkerson]

Sounds good. I await hearing from you

[emartine]

Im available.

[scottwilkerson]

resolved in remote session, added
killproc_nagios KILL

to the init script if the process didn't terminate in a timely manor
