We have been experiencing issues with the job to trigger alerts keeps on failing. We setup everything to validate the alerts that came in over the weekend to compare it to our current systems and after about an hour the jobs to run the alerts stopped. I reset all jobs at 4:30pm and the jobs failed roughly an hour after that. We have 1866 alerts that should be running. Is there anywhere that I can look to try and figure this out? Thank you.

It's possible that all of your alerts take longer than 20 seconds to run in full. Try changing the frequency to every 1 minute and see if that makes a difference. Thank you!

I'm setting it to 1 minute. We will see if it stays stable. Thank you.

That sounds good - let us know if it helps.

looks like the alert jobs failed again. I set it to run every 3 minutes. I noticed the next run jumped to some random time. 21:48:24 its currently 18:53:00

Weird I think the NTP time is messed up on these boxes. I just reset the jobs and its stating the time is 16:42:51

You can try this out to change the timezone on several services at once, if you haven't already: Feel free to replace 'America/Chicago' with a location of your choice.

Also, be sure to get NTP sync'd up properly. I would restart all of your processes after the time has been corrected.

Code: Select all

cd /usr/local/nagioslogserver/scripts/
./change_timezone.sh -z America/Chicago

Code: Select all

service elasticsearch restart
service logstash restart
service crond restart
service httpd restart

So far it seems stable. I set the timezones and setup NTP sync. The jobs are set to run every 3 minutes and that seems to be good so far.

That's great news - I'll keep the thread open in case there are any further problems.
