The MySQL log is empty.

Here is the output from the other commands (I removed the "Duplicate Definition found for service..." errors as they reveal internal host and service names; assume they're not related to the issue?):

There are multiple queues piling up so something isn't keeping up. Try changing the reaper settings per https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... ios-XI.pdf and then clear out/increase the queue settings per https://support.nagios.com/kb/article/n ... d-139.html.

Re: Hosts and services temporarily unavailable

Post by drug »

According to the documentation here (https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nag ... tsnew.html) check_result_reaper_frequency and max_check_result_reaper_time have been deprecated. Are there other reaper settings that we should be looking at?

Our kernel settings were already set appropriately.

Our host and service latencies consistently land around .5 seconds so we haven't determined a need to do any additional tuning. Note that we use gearmand to distribute the checks to worker nodes.

Re: Hosts and services temporarily unavailable

Post by cdienger »

The docs will be updated to mention that the reaper settings still apply to passive checks. That said, since gearman is running on the system the checks are probably mostly active, but it wouldn't hurt to update the reaper settings.

Trying to reduce some of the load on ndo2db where we can, edit /usr/local/nagios/etc/ndo2db.cfg and change the debug_verbosity and debug_level options both to 0:

Code: Select all

debug_level=0
debug_verbosity=1
and restart nagios and the ndo2db daemon:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop
service ndo2db stop
service ndo2db start
service nagios start

The reaper settings were increased per the documentation and ndo2db settings modified as well but we're not seeing any noticeable improvement. Is there anything else we might be able to do?

Please PM me a FRESH copy of your profile.

Additionally, please send the output of these commands (as root):
- NOTE: You may need to adjust the -h 127.0.0.1, the -uroot, and -pnagiosxi in the first command if your DB is offloaded to another server and/or you've changed the root mysql password

Code: Select all

echo "SELECT table_name AS 'Table', round(((data_length + index_length) / 1024 / 1024), 2) 'Size in MB' FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE table_schema IN ('nagios', 'nagiosql', 'nagiosxi');" | mysql -h 127.0.0.1 -uroot -pnagiosxi --table
Then run this command:

Code: Select all

grep mysql /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php | wc -l
If it outputs the number 2, run the command below as well and include the output, if it outputs anything other than 2 - don't run the command, it's safe to run but will fail with an error. (some XI systems use both mysql and postgresql if they were install prior to XI 5.0 and then upgraded from there).

Code: Select all

echo "SELECT relname as Table, pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(relid)) As Size, pg_size_pretty(pg_total_relation_size(relid) - pg_relation_size(relid)) as ExternalSize FROM pg_catalog.pg_statio_user_tables ORDER BY pg_total_relation_size(relid) DESC;" | psql nagiosxi nagiosxi

Did you upgrade your gearman once you upgraded XI?

Code: Select all

https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagiosxi/docs/Integrating_Mod_Gearman_with_Nagios_XI.pdf
I see you're running modsecurity, please send me your your /var/log/httpd/modsec* logs so that I can see if it's impacting it.

What is the output of these commands?

Code: Select all

chage -l nagios
chage -l apache
grep nag /etc/group
grep "User \|Group " /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Try doing this:

Code: Select all

tail -Fn0 /var/log/httpd/*
Additionally, what is the "top" command output on your offloaded DB server? And where the commands you PMed run against the local mysql server or the offloaded DB? Make sure it was the offloaded DB.


Replicate the issue and send any output from that tail command so that we can debug further.

We upgraded some time ago to version 3 (presently gearmand is 0.33-7 and libgearman is 1.1.2); mod_gearman is 3.0.7 (we don't run any workers on this instance, they're distributed only).

The query was run on the offloaded DB. Top from that server:
