two running instances of nagios daemon

[nfla]

Hello. I am running Nagios XI 5.7.3 on an Oracle Linux 7 server.

Is this normal? There are always two running instances of the nagios daemon. Restart the server OS, restart the service, doesn't matter.

Code: Select all

[nfla@server ~]$ ps -ef | grep -i nagios.cfg
nagios    2203     1  2 23:50 ?        00:00:02 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios    2222  2203  0 23:50 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nfla 15769 11831  0 23:51 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i nagios.cfg
[nfla@server ~]$

Thank you.

This is normal... One is the "main" process, and the other one is the "child" process. For more info on the PIDs, and PPIDs, read our KB article below:
