Hi,

We are running XI 2012R2.2 and after a reboot we seem to have lost graphing fuctionality.

Output of tail /usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata.log

Please assist.

Hi,

All working fine now. Seems this was due to load on the XI server.

Thanks

Ah excellent, the load probably triggered NPCD to stop processing, you can change this value to something higher in case this happens again. We can let you know how to do that if you would like.

Always nice when problems work themselves out, isn't it?

Hi,

Yes indeed, please let me know how to increase the value.

Thanks

You may need to increase the timeout in

Excellent. Done. Increased to 10.

Make sure to restart npcd afterwards:

Done.

Thanks

And that should be it, closing this one as resolved for now.
