To clarify, you were having this issue previously on 3.5, then installed a new core 4 system and transferred the configs there? At that time, this same issues presented itself? Did you install core4 on the same system as 3.5 or an entirely new system? What OS is this on?

Hello,
OS is centos 5.5. it works fine with nagios-core-3.5.1, then i upgrade nagios version to 4.0, it has many issue ( as you seen in previous post ), so i upgrade version 4.0 to 4.0.1, but this version has those problems too. so i test it with another installation: install a new centos 5.5 and install nagios-core-4.0.1 on it, now i have those problems too. so install nagios-core-3.5.1 to monitor my network now, but our department policy is updating all our applications and until now i cant do it. is there any solution?
thank you

This is a reported bug with core 4. One of our core devs is already looking into it, and thinks it may be an open file issue, when hitting the max limit.
http://tracker.nagios.org/view.php?id=484
Try running the following commands when you are seeing the issue:
Code: Select all
cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr
su - nagios -c "ulimit -Hn; ulimit -Sn"

Looks like this might be the same case, you are definitely out of "open files". Let's increase the limits and restart the nagios service.
edit /etc/security/limits.conf
Add or modify these two lines
Code: Select all
* hard nofile 10000
* soft nofile 5000
Log out of your current terminal, log back in. Restart all nagios services. If you only have nagios and no npcd, ndoutils, or anything, it would just be:
You can also check the limits on the nagios user with:
Code: Select all
su - nagios -c "ulimit -Hn; ulimit -Sn"

Can you validate the ulimits for the nagios user have increased please? Otherwise at this time, we may have to wait for the core devs to come up with a resolve as it is considered a bug.
Code: Select all
su - nagios -c "ulimit -Hn; ulimit -Sn"
