Nagios Support Forum

Hi,

Nagios XI 2011R3.2
RHEL5

I have 2 issues that I think may be related so I'll included them together but if not we can break them out separately if that is easier.

I configured a ram disk last week following this article: http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... giosXI.pdf

1.) Now, the scheduled downtime has multiple duplicate entries. I'm not sure if the issue is related but the issue started occurring the next day.

2.) Today, the ram disk disk space filled up and the status.dat file could not be written. I increased the ram disk size and restarted NagiosXi and everything started fine but now the scheduled downtime doesn't show anything. It's a blank page.

Thanks for the assistance.

Strange, do you expect to have scheduled downtime still listed there? Were they intentionally removed when trying to stop the duplication?

We had not tried to clean up the duplicates yet so I would have expected something on the page. It is completely blank - it doesn't even have the typical headers or options to add scheduled downtime.

Run the following commands and show us the output:

You may also want to look at upgrading to the latest version of Nagios Xi as there was a downtime bug on the version you have been running:

Here is the info requested:

I will look into upgrading but for now I would still think the scheduled downtime page should at least show up.

Did you change the 2 commands outlined in
http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... giosXI.pdf

Can you also run

[root@rhesprodnagios01 var]# grep nagiosramdisk /usr/local/nagios/etc/commands.cfg
command_line /bin/mv /var/nagiosramdisk/host-perfdata /var/nagiosramdisk/spool/xidpe/$TIMET$.perfdata.host
command_line /bin/mv /var/nagiosramdisk/host-perfdata /var/nagiosramdisk/spool/perfdata/host-perfdata.$TIMET$
command_line /bin/mv /var/nagiosramdisk/service-perfdata /var/nagiosramdisk/spool/xidpe/$TIMET$.perfdata.service
command_line /bin/mv /var/nagiosramdisk/service-perfdata /var/nagiosramdisk/spool/perfdata/service-perfdata.$TIMET$

Also, I can get to the scheduled downtime page today but it takes several minutes to fully load because of all the duplicates now.

Looking at it more closely the problem appears to be related to the Recurring Downtime entries on the Scheduled Downtime page.

We have daily reoccuring downtime that adds to the scheduled downtime and it is those that are being duplicate.

If I just add scheduled downtime for a host it only creates one entry.

If I just add scheduled downtime for a host it only creates one entry.

So, if you schedule a downtime for a host via "Home->Incident Management->Scheduled Downtime->Schedule host downtime", you have one entry, but if you do it via "Home->Incident Management->Recurring Downtime->Add Schedule", you have duplicates? Is this correct? Can you show us a screenshot?
