xidpe file count incerasing

[Bionic___]

Problems with my Nagios XI Enterprise.
My directory /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe/ has the file count increasing without the files being processed.
Searched the forum and read the two posts that seemed to apply
http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... unt#p85103 (my post that was resolved.)
http://support.nagios.com/forum/viewtop ... unt#p79703

/usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/process_perfdata.cfg set TIMEOUT = 20
/usr/local/nagios/etc/pnp/npcd.cfg set load_threshold = 30.0

File count was >8000
Cleaned the directory using:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagios/var/spool
rm -rf xidpe
mkdir xidpe
chown nagios.nagios xidpe
chmod 755 xidpe

restarted npcd using:

Code: Select all

service npcd stop
killall -9 npcd
service npcd start

File count started at 0 but continued to increase. In 10 minutes it was over 125. I am not sure where to look next.

Lets make sure crond is running

Code: Select all

service crond restart

If after 1 minute they still are increasing, show us the output of the following

Code: Select all

chage -l nagios
grep xidpe /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php

[Bionic___]

Count continues to increase

chage -l nagios result =

Code: Select all

Last password change                                    : Oct 30, 2013
Password expires                                        : Jan 28, 2014
Password inactive                                       : never

Minimum number of days between password change          : 1
Maximum number of days between password change          : 90
Number of days of warning before password expires       : 7

Looks like the password expired so I updated it and this is the revised result.
chage -l nagios result =

Code: Select all

grep xidpe /usr/local/nagiosxi/html/config.inc.php result =

Code: Select all

$cfg['xidpe_dir'] = '/usr/local/nagios/var/spool/xidpe/';

It looks like the password change worked and the service seems to be working. The count dropped to two.
Thanks for the help. I believe this is resolved.
