Nagios Support Forum

Hi Team,

Im facing one issue when i checked my "npcd.log" like

[10-19-2013 13:33:51] NPCD: ERROR: Executed command exits with return code '7'
[10-19-2013 13:33:51] NPCD: ERROR: Command line was '/usr/local/nagios/libexec/process_perfdata.pl -n -b /var/nagiosramdisk/spool/perfdata//1382169791.perfdata.service'

Can u please let me know what is the root cause for this issue. And i also tried researching in support forum, i got some inputs like

1. output of ll /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata/

-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios nagios 58212 Oct 11 19:13 1381498992.perfdata.service-PID-6412
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nagios users 233660 Oct 12 01:53 1381522990.perfdata.service-PID-18867

2. output of ls -ld /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata/

drwxr-xr-x 2 nagios nagios 417792 Oct 16 16:48 spool/perfdata/

3. And also used the permissions script to reload all the permissions, but still facing the issue with the above logs..

Please suggest us to solve the issue..

Thanks

Is what you would want to be checking as it looks like you are using a ramdisk. Did you complete the sections that push performance data through the ramdisk? If it is misconfigured you could see the above error.

HI Team,

Actually, we are facing this error before doing RAM Disk... Please find the attachment of the same. and i applied permissions, but it didn't resolve.. Is there anything we missed apart from that.. and also i cross-verified my RAM disk configuration, but everything seems to be fine ..

Could you post a tail of the perfdata.log?

Hi Team,

Please find the below output of

tail -25 /usr/local/nagios/var/perfdata.log

Have you implemented rrdcached or a memdisk?
You will need to increase the timeout for perfdata processing, edit: Change: To: Restart npcd:

thanks its working fine
