[scottwilkerson]

Actually there was a typo in mguthrie's first command, please run

Code: Select all

ll /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe|wc -l

[David.adder]

ll /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe|wc -l
1

[scottwilkerson]

It appears to be keeping up.

Lets change the timeout in the following file

Code: Select all

/usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/process_perfdata.cfg

to

Code: Select all

TIMEOUT = 15

[David.adder]

I don't know if it is normal, but the value changes after change the TIMEOUT:

ll /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe|wc -l
1

ll /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe|wc -l
3

Still get the same errors in "/usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata.log" and "/usr/local/nagios/var/npcd.log"

For some reason the backup is happening at the file above. Run:

Code: Select all

echo "" > /usr/local/nagios/var/service-perfdata

To clear file and reset the queue. This probably backed up because of the load threshold.

[David.adder]

I've run that command.

[mguthrie]

Currently are you missing data from all graphs or just bandwidth graphs?

[David.adder]

Actually, in the Bandwidth. Graphs are not uniform, yo can see in the picture that I attached in the first post. That is a firewall that has activity all the time, and graphs don't show that.

[scottwilkerson]

One more command... Can I have you run

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata|wc -l
