IMUXSOCK Begins to drop messages

Post by isadmin »

I am receiving these errors in our logs....
IMUXSOCK begins to drop messages from PID due to rate-limiting
We are receiving warnings about checks also

I believe it will still pertain to this issue since it is due to rate limiting. Have you tried bumping them up?

Hm-m, I've seen similar errors, when temp files are building up...
http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... 16&t=11411

What is the output of the following command?

Code: Select all

ulimit -a
Are you having any issues with perfdata processing?

Code: Select all

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

You have way too many files in the "/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata".
ls /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata | wc -l
197089
This means that npcd is (was not) running and processing these files. What is the load on the system? Maybe it exceeded the load_threshold, specified in the "/usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/npcd.cfg" file... Check out the logs to see if you can find more info:

Code: Select all

tail -50 /usr/local/nagios/var/npcd.log
tail -50 /usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata.log
If you don't care about losing the old perfdata (whatever you have in the "/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata/" at the moment), you can clean up these files:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagios/var/spool
rm -rf perfdata
mkdir perfdata
chown nagios.nagios perfdata
chmod 755 perfdata
