Hi list
we are testing nagios3 and since the release of the final version we
encountered a massive problem. Once a day nagios stops working
correctly. Log file ist full of:
-----
[$timesatmp] Warning: The check of service '$SERVICE' on host '$HOST'
could not be performed due to a fork() error. The check will be
rescheduled.
-----
After a restart of nagios everything works fine again. I have checked
the checkresult-spool-dir and found tons of _old_ files. When the
problem occurs nagios has open 1024 FHs most of them (> 1000) for
checkresult files. Of course 1024 is the open files limit for my nagios
user.
This problem occurs every day and it started exactly with the install of
3.0 final. We where running 3.0rc3 before and did not have any problems.
When i look at the process from time to time i do not see a list of FHs
building up slowly so i assume that there is some "event" which is
trigging this malfunction.
