Nagios Support Forum

We are frequently receiving Database Errors in Nagiosxi. The error message suggest to run the database repair which we have but we continue to see these error messages. In addition to seeing these error messages Nagios has also started to get really slow loading pages and applying the configuration. Can anyone point me in the right direction for trouble shooting this?

Can we get some information about your environment?

What version of XI are you running?
How much memory do you have?
How many cpu cores are you using?
How many host / service checks are configured?
Do you have a RAMDisk in place?
Is your Database offloaded?

That may seem like a lot of questions, but there can be a lot of things that cause Nagios to run slow.

Sure that's not a problem,

1. Nagios XI Version : 2014R2.7
2. 12GB of Ram
3. 6 CPU
4. 1196 Hosts and 8614 Services
5. We do have a RAMDisk in place
6. Our Database is offloaded

Are the database errors currently on the page? If so, could we see what they are?

Can we see some resource usage information?

Code: Select all

top | head -n5
free -m
df -h
df -ih

Is there any extreme latency between your DB and XI server?

I've seen adding more RAM help out with UI responsiveness, but I'm more concerned with the database errors at this point.

We are not currently seeing any database errors but if it helps sometimes its seems to be the result of applying the configuration. But that could just be a coincidence.

Here's a screen shot of what we're seeing..

Do you see any errors in the mysqld.log on the remote server?

No not really here are the contents of the log file:

How is your performance on the DB server? Are you running out of space?

Code: Select all

df -h
df -ih
top | head -n5

are what I am especially interested in. How are you doing on latency between these servers?

Here are the results. I didn't see issues with space or latency.
