Summer time problem

Post by rgreiner »

Hi,

I've got a small problem with our Nagios Core 3.5.1 install, running in a Debian 6.0.7, 32 bits virtual machine, installed from source (not apt-get).

This weekend, summer time started here in Brazil. When that happened, Nagios generated an insane amount of messages like this one:

Oct 19 23:00:00 <server> nagios: CURRENT HOST STATE: <monitored host> ;UP;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.92 ms

For all monitored hosts and services, multiple messages where generated in syslog (and replicated to the centrla syslog server). For my 126 monitored hosts and 519 monitored services, a total of 37,280,771 messages where generated, in less than one hour (verified using the command "grep 'Oct 19 23" user.log.1 |grep "<server> nagios"|wc').

Is there something I could/should do to avoid this from happening again? Is this a known bug?

Thank you,

Roberto Greiner

It very well could be a continuation of the old DST bug. Open a bug report at: http://tracker.nagios.org.
