perfdata files large

[proxibid]

Ran the upgrade from 5.7.3 to 5.7.4 today. May or may not be related.

[chris.krull@nagios01 var]$ pwd
/usr/local/nagios/var

-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios 11G Oct 21 10:15 service-perfdata
-rw-r--r-- 1 nagios nagios 1.2G Oct 21 10:15 host-perfdata

npcd.log looks ok - Here are lines from today -

Don't have a perfdata.log file.

This looks like the perfdata file are not getting processed

What is the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all

grep process_performance_data /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
grep perfdata_file /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

Thanks Scott. Here you go.

That looks correct, can you send me your profile.zip from Admin -> System Profile

I'm seeing errors in the logs

Code: Select all

find: ‘/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe/’: No such file or directory

Do these this directories exist and if so what are the permissions

Code: Select all

ls -ld /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe
ls -ld /usr/local/nagios/var/spool

[proxibid]

Code: Select all

ls -ld /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe

ls: cannot access /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe: No such file or directory

spool is there but not xidpe.

these are current dirs and perms in spool

Code: Select all

[chris.krull@nagios01 spool]$ ll
total 0
drwxrwsr-x 2 nagios nagcmd 6 Oct 21 21:34 checkresults
drwxr-xr-x 2 nagios nagios 6 Jun  4 12:37 perfdata

[scottwilkerson]

That's the problem

run

Code: Select all

mkdir /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe
chown nagios:nagios /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe

[proxibid]

Thanks, that got me a perfdata.log which showed me this

Code: Select all

 ERROR: /usr/local/nagios/var/stats is not writable or does not exist

So I created that dir and chowned it to nagios.nagios

File sizes are small again. Things seem to be good.

Thanks!
