Is the time set properly on your Nagios server?

Code: Select all

date

Code: Select all

hwclock
How many nagios processes are running on your server?

Code: Select all

ps aux | grep nagios
How about your php time?

Code: Select all

grep timez /etc/php.ini
It might be worth running through the following procedure to see whether or not it helps out:

Code: Select all

service nagios stop

Code: Select all

killall -9 nagios

Code: Select all

rm /usr/local/nagios/var/retention.dat

Code: Select all

service nagios start

Removing the retention.dat file didn't fix the problem.

Thanks for looking into this.

SavaSC - I don't see in the thread where anyone has addressed this...

Is this only during an apply config or does it also happen when the monitoring engine is simply reloaded? I'm wondering if it's inherent to the core process being restarted or if it's happening as a side-effect of the apply-config process.

To test either restart the monitoring engine within the XI interface or from the command line:

Code: Select all

[root@localhost ~]# service nagios restart
Running configuration check...
Stopping nagios:. done.
Starting nagios: done.

Ah, good catch. I didn't notice that before. It does reset every time the Nagios service is restarted not just on the apply config.

**EDIT**

Just saw this. It appears that some of the times reset and some didn't. All of them acted like they were resetting but some have several hours of down time.

I have attached a screenshot.

Could you upload the following file?

Run these commands and post the output.

Isn't that special.

So it would seem that there are some shortcomings in the resources being made available to your XI server. Does it have a good set of disks to run on? Enough CPU cores available? Have you made any changes recently that would affect the load dramatically? How many hosts/services are you monitoring?

You can partially work around this by adjusting load_threshold in /usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/npcd.cfg - my guess though is that maybe it's time for you to do a ramdisk.

We currently have the following allocated to the NagiosXI server:
- 4 vCPUs
- 4096MB RAM
- 70GB total HD space

According to vSphere, during these service restarts the following resources were used:
- 21% Max CPU usage
- 28% Max memory usage

I have changed the load_theshold = 170.0 and then restarted the Nagios service. The following resources were used in the time during and after the restart:
- 33% Max memory usage
- 35% Max CPU usage

Also, I notice that the errors you reference are from 3 months ago. The last date referenced in the npcd.log is a month ago. The last date referenced in the perfdata.log is 3 months ago. Have these logs gotten too big perhaps? (npcd.log = 2GB perfdata.log = 8GB) Should I clear these out?

Here is the disk usage report:

Ha - sorry about that. I didn't bother looking at the date.

No - not related. We're barking up the wrong tree I'm afraid. Although - I do wonder what in perfdata.log is consuming 8GB of disk space. You can clear that out safely.

Back to the drawing board, what shows up in /usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log at the time of a monitoring engine reload? Anything interesting?
