For now I will remove this manually. But later, did Nagios remove this automatically? We're in the middle of integrating new hosts into our Nagios system and this will generate more backup files isn't it?

Nagios XI is supposed to clean up these files automatically, that's what the cleaner.php cron job normally does. I'm not entirely sure *why this occurred, because I haven't seen this particular issue before. The subscript that was failing simply runs the following command:

Code: Select all

find /etc/nagiosql/backup -mmin +1440 -type f -exec rm -f {} \;
Which removes any config files older than one week from that directory.

We will proceed to manually remove all the file and closely monitor it's condition after this. Thanks.
