URGENT - Perfdata processing is off, but perfdata exists???

You can adjust how often that log table is cleared by accessing the Admin->Performance settings->Database(tab).

Our upcoming 2012 release will have built-in audit logging across the system which will be a much more robust solution.

What's the ETA on that? I've had to lock our system down to the point where I'm the only one allowed to make changes because of people making serious mistakes. Really need to be able to do user-level auditing.

Don't have an exact time but should be in the next couple months.

These just showed up today:

/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata
-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios users 0 Jul 18 10:44 host-perfdata.1342622683
-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios users 0 Jul 18 10:44 service-perfdata.1342622683

What's going on here guys?

[cscholz]

For some reason that last one didn't post this morning when I first submitted it. Since then, they've grown to 36M each:


[cscholz@nagsys ~]$ ll -h /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata
total 72M
-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios users 36M Jul 13 10:19 host-perfdata.1338828170-PID-1713
-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios users 36M Jul 13 10:10 host-perfdata.1338828170-PID-26688

Is npcd running?

Code: Select all

service npcd status

What is the load like on the machine? If you have multiple processors and the load is above 10 you may need to adjust a setting in /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/npcd.cfg

find

Code: Select all

load_threshold =10

and increase up to 10*#ofCPU's

Then

Code: Select all

service npcd restart

[cscholz]

The load is extremely low. It's not going anywhere near 10. Maxing out at 0.20.

[root@nagsys ~]# service npcd status
NPCD running (pid 12064).

Do you see anything interesting in the npcd log file (/usr/local/nagios/var/npcd.log)?
