nagios 4.x showlog
Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2016 9:31 am
Hello.
I recently upgraded nagios from 3.5.1 to 4.1.1.
Those "core workers" are a great thing for sure, many thanks for that great feature!
The only problem is that a lot of informational messages about workers are logged in the "nagios.log" file and now that file is like 50x the size it was with nagios 3.x.
This makes the browser hangs for a few seconds when accessing the "showlog.cgi". that's very annoying.
I'm currently monitoring a few thousands hosts with a few ten-thousands services, so it happens that sometimes a few of them are down/critical.
In that case I get a lot of these msgs every second:
is there a way to tell nagios not to log those info events? or to log them in a separate file than "nagios.log"?
I've started to change a few things in the source files...
-lib/worker.c
-base/workers.c
commenting out "wlog" strings and recompiling the program reduced the logging about wprocs, but I don't like doing that.
The best way would be an option in the nagios.cfg file, something like "workers_logging_level = [none,info,warning,critical,debug]..."
please let me know if there's a solution for that. your help is very appreciated.
regards,
Federico
