About messages.log, large file with PDFILE lines

[informatique4pully]

Hi,

I'm writing today to you because we have our NagiosXI Server who is writing messages.log with thousands of lines i dont understand.
The file is growing and is about 1.5Go for 4 days.

The lines :

Nov 22 23:28:16 SERVER npcd[1185287]: Use of uninitialized value $NAGIOS{"MULTI_PARENT"} in printf at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl line 466, <PDFILE> line 7.
Nov 22 23:28:16 SERVER npcd[1185287]: Use of uninitialized value $string in substitution (s///) at /usr/local/nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl line 699, <PDFILE> line 8.

Do you have an idea about why we can have thousands of the same lines ?
The first line about $nagios is the 137 one and the first for $string it's the 628th line.

Thanks for your help.

Hello,

This issue looks like it could take some digging on your XI instance to try and figure out what is causing performance data to fail and cause all these error logs. I would recommend heading to https://support.nagios.com/ and opening a ticket as they will be able to better diagnose the issue. My best guess is it is something related to a plugin that is breaking performance data (most likely a custom one).

If you have any more questions or concerns let me know.
