Hi,

A couple of questions. After you installed the RAMDISK, were the performance graphs working? Are you able to re-start the ncpd service from the command line?

Code: Select all

systemctl restart npcd

Are you able to view the lock file?

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/local/nagiosxi/var/subsys/npcd.pid

I'd like to get a current profile since installing the RAMDISK. Thanks, Benjamin

Good evening

We did both things:
Restart npcd
and locate .pid
