Hello everyone,
We have two Nagios XI instances running in a virtualized environment. Since enabling NRDP to send data from one Nagios XI to the other, the receiving machine has started generating several performance alerts.
The receiving VM is high resources with 24 CPUs and 32 GB of RAM. However, performance appears to be degrading despite these resources.
you'll find the screenshot attached with the generated alerts to provide a clearer picture of the issue.
We would appreciate any advice on how to optimize or improve the performance of the receiving Nagios XI in this NRDP setup.

Re: Database Maintenance (dbmaint) stale
Hello,
It sounds like the issue with your NagiosXI instance isn't resource based but rather purely something with database configurations. This is likely because of the amount of data being passed to the XI instance from NRDP, and the disk doesn't have enough time to process all the information. A recommended script for this that I found is mysqltuner.pl (https://github.com/major/MySQLTuner-perl) which can help give configuration advice (Note: you may need to install a few perl packages). I'm not an expert when it comes to database tuning, but hopefully this helps get you in the right direction.
If you have any more questions I'd be happy to try and help.

-------- Recommendations ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
General recommendations:
/var/log/mysql/mysqld.log is > 32MB, you should analyze why or implement a rotation log strategy such as logrotate!
Check warning line(s) in /var/log/mysql/mysqld.log file
Check error line(s) in /var/log/mysql/mysqld.log file
Reduce your overall MySQL memory footprint for system stability
Dedicate this server to your database for highest performance.
Configure your accounts with ip or subnets only, then update your configuration with skip-name-resolve=ON
We will suggest raising the 'join_buffer_size' until JOINs not using indexes are found.
See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en ... uffer_size
MyISAM engine is deprecated, consider migrating to InnoDB
Buffer Key MyISAM set to 0, no MyISAM table detected
Variables to adjust:
*** MySQL's maximum memory usage is dangerously high ***
*** Add RAM before increasing MySQL buffer variables ***
skip-name-resolve=ON
join_buffer_size (> 256.0K, or always use indexes with JOINs)
table_definition_cache (416) > 513 or -1 (autosizing if supported)
key_buffer_size=0
innodb_buffer_pool_size (>= 802.0M) if possible.
innodb_log_buffer_size (> 16M)

-------- Recommendations ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
General recommendations:
/var/log/mysql/mysqld.log is > 32MB, you should analyze why or implement a rotation log strategy such as logrotate!
Check warning line(s) in /var/log/mysql/mysqld.log file
Check error line(s) in /var/log/mysql/mysqld.log file
Reduce your overall MySQL memory footprint for system stability
Dedicate this server to your database for highest performance.
Configure your accounts with ip or subnets only, then update your configuration with skip-name-resolve=ON
We will suggest raising the 'join_buffer_size' until JOINs not using indexes are found.
See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en ... uffer_size
MyISAM engine is deprecated, consider migrating to InnoDB
Buffer Key MyISAM set to 0, no MyISAM table detected
Variables to adjust:
*** MySQL's maximum memory usage is dangerously high ***
*** Add RAM before increasing MySQL buffer variables ***
skip-name-resolve=ON
join_buffer_size (> 256.0K, or always use indexes with JOINs)
table_definition_cache (416) > 513 or -1 (autosizing if supported)
key_buffer_size=0
innodb_buffer_pool_size (>= 802.0M) if possible.
innodb_log_buffer_size (> 16M)
got any ideas on how to change the indicated parameters?
Re: Database Maintenance (dbmaint) stale
Thank you for that output,
The first thing I notice is the amount of errors in your mysql.log I would be curious what those are because that could give insight into some issues possibly with the performance. Also as it is recommending since the log file is large I would ensure that there is some way of rotating the logs if the log file fills up fast. One thing about the database that I've looked at is some tables are using the MyISAM engine (at least by default on one of my instances), which isn't particularly great compared to the recommended InnoDB, but also might not be easily changeable (when time permits I'll look further into it). In particular the service and host check tables and statistics are in the MyISAM tables which could be something limited the XI instance.
For right now I think the best recommendations that it is giving is to increase your innodb_buffer_pool_size to more than 802MB, so giving it a few gigabytes might help. Along with that it appears it wants innodb_log_buffer_size to be increased more than 16MB. Then turn on skip-name-resolve. Finally ensure that mysql.log is getting rotated as well.
To actually modify these values I believe you can modify /etc/my.cnf.d/mysql-server.cnf (at least on CentOS 9) and add the required parameters. If that file doesn't exist I would try and find a similar file that should be in /etc or /etc/my.cnf.d and it should contain different mysqld options. After modify it just save the file, restart mysqld, and then to ensure it worked run "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'innodb_buffer_pool_size';" in mysql (which shows the innodb_buffer_pool_size value in bytes) and ensure the changes are reflected for each variable.
I will try to look further into the issue, but for now try tweaking those config options and ensure you have a backup of the sever and/or the config just incase any unexpected problems occur.

Hi,
I added the parameters you suggested but now the stale lasts 2224 seconds (against the previous 700/800)

Re: Database Maintenance (dbmaint) stale
Hello,
I'm sorry to hear those changes made it worse. This could be because of a variety of reasons, but I wouldn't be able to give a concrete answer. I would highly recommend opening a ticket with our support department as they will have more experience than I do with this issue. You can contact them here https://support.nagios.com/. I will also talk to some colleagues today to see if they have any information on this type of issue. I would also recommend rolling back the MySQL configuration if you haven't already.
