Hi,

I have upgraded to Nagios 4 and was wondering how many Nagios daemons should be running? from my below output it seems there are seven running:

Code: Select all

nbsrvnagi-01v:~> ps -ef|grep "nagios -d"
nagios    3149     1 11 Mar24 ?        02:39:15 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios    3163  3149  0 Mar24 ?        00:00:16 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   10415 12348  3 10:24 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   12348     1 11 Mar24 ?        02:35:59 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   12362 12348  0 Mar24 ?        00:00:16 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   16374     1 12 Mar24 ?        02:47:37 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg
nagios   16390 16374  0 Mar24 ?        00:00:15 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d /usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

There should only be 1 parent process, but many forks. Run the following command, if you get back more than 1 pid, then you most likely have more than 1 parent process:

Code: Select all

ps hf -opid -C nagios | awk '{ print $1; exit }'
