not getting bandwidth output

[wiproltdwiv]

Scott,

We are adding fresh routers, we are not adding services for already configured routers.

Whatever routers we are adding, there is no exciting entry in mrtg for.

[scottwilkerson]

Ok, then it could be a permissions thing... Lets run

Code: Select all

ls -l /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg

And also, if we could tail the httpd error_log while we try to run the wizard we may get a clue

Code: Select all

tail -f /var/log/httpd/error_log

[wiproltdwiv]

[root@EMSNagios1 libexec]# ls -l /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg
-rw-r--r-- 1 apache nagios 3184287 Feb 22 14:21 /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg


i did not get any error in httpd log.

You should have at least some output in the error_log can you post what it outputs as shown above?

[wiproltdwiv]

I checked with below command then i got below error

env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg --lock-file /var/lock/mrtg/mrtg_l --confcache-file /var/lib/mrtg/mrtg.ok

This looks like the system is out of memory

Feb 27 13:22:59 somehost nagios: Error: Could not open check result queue directory '/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults' for reading.

this looks like you have a permissions problem, can you run the following as root

Code: Select all

ls -ld /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/checkresults

one more thing, maximum how many ports bandwidth we can monitor in nagios xi?

[scottwilkerson]

Those permissions are correct, so we need to make sure we don't have a user expired or something

Code: Select all

chage -l nagios
cat /etc/group|grep nag
sestatus

[wiproltdwiv]

[root@EMSNagios1 ~]# chage -l nagios

[scottwilkerson]

Did you add additional memory to the server since the memory problem?

one more thing, maximum how many ports bandwidth we can monitor in nagios xi? please suggest

This depends on many factors including system resources, network speed, check frequency etc.. With powerful optimized systems we have seen well over 10000 services (could be switch ports) monitored on 5 minute intervals
