Nagios Support Forum

Hello

Our partition / is full because of /usr/local/nagios/var/spool/perfdata (performance data)
Since we moved the content to another folder in /data we had issue with nagios components (see picture)

And now / is full again .
I guess we need to free some space on /
Also we can't add new hosts conf changes don't apply..

Should we use mount –o bind on /data to make some space on / ?
and then if we restart nagios everything should go back to normal ?

Thanks in advance

Yes, XI is looking at those directories which you likely removed/moved to a different location, you are going to need to move your performance data back to where it was, so we can trouble shoot why it was so full, it is likely that your performance data was not being processes, how much space have you allocated to your XI server? If it is on a VM try this:

What is the error you are seeing when applying configuration? When you mouse over those component icons, what do they tell you?

What I didn’t tell you it’s that it’s again full so I can’t put it back as / is already full
We moved it in another folder at the beginning.
So I don’t know what could we do.
Where are the nagios backup that should I save somewhere ?

also my nagios.cfg is empty !!
I dont know why

Do you know where I can foind a backup of this file ?

Thanks

Is this a VM? Do you have any snapshots that you can revert to? If this is not an option, you may try to restore from an old backup. Do you have any backups in the "/store/backups/nagiosxi/"? You will probably need to spin a new VM, transfer your backup from the old server, and restore from the backup.

Yes it's a VM but we don't have any recent backup of the vm
Also i got Nothing in "/store/backups/nagiosxi"

the only thing i have is
data\store\backups\mysql\
data\store\backups\postgresql\

With folders inside like : monthly daily weekly and i got also these folders : nagios nagioql nagiosxi mysql and some others

Can I backup nagios with that ?


Thanks

Yes, copying those, plugins, and your rrd files off the system would basically be a full backup. Then you can proceed with the document to extend the VM disk size.

Thanks I copied it

But how with this files can i backup Nagios ?
Do you have documentation ?
So iI only have to save plugins and rrd files ? Where can i find rrd files ?
Host are already saved ?

Thanks a lot

You can use this to grab as much as possible:

You could also alter the script to grab specific things, and leave others.
