Defunct proccess nagios XI

[quental]

Nagios XI Enterprise
Centos 6.1 64 bits (2 machines)
Manual installation
Release r1.3

Hello,

we have the following behavior.
when we execute any action on the configuration through CCM, we started getting defunct processes in the machine.
The number of defunct processes is incremental, until we have to end up killing processes, or reboot the machine master

we use DNXserver and DNXclient, and the logs do not see orphan processes.

some way in order to investigate what's going on?

How many checks (hosts+services) are you running on these machines? Are you able do a test where you temporarily disable DNX to see if the issue is related to that? You can easily disable DNX temporarily by commenting out the event broker line in the main nagios.cfg file.

Lets start with logs. Reproduce the error in XI through the CCM and then dump these 2 logs:

Code: Select all

tail -50 /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log
tail -50 /var/log/httpd/error_log

Post the output here in a code wrap, obfuscate sensitive info if necessary.
