Nagios Support Forum

Hello,

This morning we noticed it wasn't possible to log into Nagios, the following error was displayed:

DB Connect Error [nagiosxi]: Database connection failed DB Connect Error [nagiosxi]: Database connection failed

After rebooting the server, going to the Nagios XI web interface resulted in a "This page cannot be displayed" error.

So I logged into the server and did a service httpd status, which showed me the httpd status wasn't running. When I tried to start it, I got the following error:

touch: cannot touch /var/lock/subsys/httpd: No space left on devices

Looking up this error, showed it had something to do with insufficient inodes available. When doing a df -i

it showed /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol100 had used 100 % of its inodes. It has 630784 inodes and all of them seem used.

A already tried a reboot, but the problem persists..

Please let me knwo what I can do to get our Nagios up and running again..

I found out what the problem is. The /var/spool/snmptt folder was using up all the inodes. I installed the snmptt this weekend.. For the moment I deleted all files in the snmptt folder, rebooted the server and then also had to do a mysql db repair following your procedure in http://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagi ... tabase.pdf

In the meantime I found out that a misconfigured group policy made all servers send traps to the Nagios server. We reconfigured the gpo and things are calming down at the moment.

Yikes! Well, let us know if this issue crops up again, and if we can help.. thanks!
